Hey You Get Off My Pavement!
Sunday 5th August 2007
12.30pm – 10.30 pm
Kings Court, King St, Merchant City Glasgow
t. 0141 553 2400
 
 
An all day, outdoors festival in the courtyard in front of venue/bar/record shop Mono in King Street, Glasgow Hey You...! aims to celebrate the culture and creativity of Glasgow and beyond, as well as providing a super-cheap great day out for music-lovers of all ages.*
 
Building on the success of last years’ sell-out event the organisers are increasing the capacity slightly and adding more bars to the barbecue outside.  For those who absolutely must spend their summers indoors there will be an extravagantly decorated Mono serving as usual, Monorail is open to discerning record buyers and browsers as ever, as are all the shops in Kings Court (your guitar, vintage clothing, skateboard and poster needs shall be catered for!), with some of Glasgow's finest Dj's playing the best summer songs they can find in their collections.
 
THE LINE-UP:
 
The Aliens
These psychedelic pop-maestro’s formed from the ashes of the Beta Band and are fronted by Lone Pigeon aka Gordon Anderson.  Now signed to EMI/Pet Rock Records, this Fife based trio are typically low-fi, humble and good-spirited regardless of the accolades coming their way: 

“One of British music’s most important bands.  Brilliant.” Dazed and Confused

“A match for the Beatles narrative song-writing, the future looks very bright for Anderson and the Aliens” Q Magazine

“Genius will always find a way to shine” Time Out
 
Twilight Sad
Fat Cat signings and new music heroes:
“Epic rock from Glasgow that articulates youthful emotional grandeur through a radiant haze of overdriven
guitar.” Pitchfork.com 8.6/10
 
Errors
Glasgow up-and-comers who rocked the party at SXSW this year and look like they’re truly on the road to
success.

“Pretty damn special and slightly mental – like all the best things in life” The Guardian

“Totally top notch fuzzy guitar stuff meets proper sub-bass, zoop zoop noises and electrotech touches in
a delicate, hard-to-pull-off mix” VICE magazine
 
Part Chimp
London-based noise mongers who score with crowd and critic alike, time after time.

“This is discordant guitar noise at it’s best” 8 out of 10 NME

“Going deaf never sounded so good” 4 out of 5 MOJO

“Glorious, ridiculous second album, engorged with distortion and overload” Album of the month in Plan
“This is ROCK!  Absolutely fucking wonderful” 4 out of 5 Uncut
 
One Ensemble
Daniel Padden, previously of underground heroes Volcano The Bear, has come into his own with the One
Ensemble: experimental folk remiscent of God Speed You Black Emperor or Jack Rose.

“Strikingly beautiful at times, Padden's music truly comes from another place. Wholly unique and lush
with feeling, "The One Ensemble of Daniel Padden" is a rare and unclassifiable masterpiece.” (Other
Music) brainwashed.com/padden/
 
Dananananaykroyd

Underground cult heroes or pop meagstars: You Decide.  Only thing for sure is that with two singles out
on label Moshi Moshi and a crop of rave reviews, the immense hardcore-inflluenced Dananananaykroyd are
gonna be something special.

Plus special guests

Brand new acoustic starlet on the scene, the organisers have high hopes for this fresh-faced young fella.
