Just say no to pink cider, kids. It's not good for you.

can someone tell me about these places?king tut's 13th note/barfly?liquid loungeabcbarrowlands
― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 13:15 (seventeen years ago) link
roxy just resurrected the old thread to ask if someone could tell her about the following places.
king tut's 13th note/barfly?liquid loungeabcbarrowlands
very quickly, i'd say:
tut's rocks, still. bit up its own arse inna "ooh look we're tut's and everybody's played here and did you know alan mcgee signed oasis while wiping his arse in that there cludgie?" but a great place to hang out, all the same. the actual stage area is a big cramped but fuck it, i saw isis and trans am there and they were both life-changing experiences.
13th note/barfly/mono/stereo is too complex a tale to go into here. someone else can do that. all you need know is that the bar still trading as the 13th note at the bottom of king street is now a bit pointless; that mono, opposite, carries on the spirit of the "old" 13th note admirably; and that barfly, which occupies the space held briefly by the ill-fated 13th note "club", is ... er, barfly.
liquid lounge: no idea. never been, to my knowledge.
abc: used to be a cinema. was more interesting then. nice enough, but soulless. that said, i've never been to the smaller venue within it, just the main hall.
barrowland: legendary. beyond words at this point in time. just godlike.
glasgow venues in terms of size/size of bands that play there, from smallest to biggest: 13th note/barfly/tut's/abc/carling academy/barrowland/SECC.
HTH!

(If the Liquid Lounge is where I think it is, which is the corner of West Regent Street and Hope Street)

I like the 13th note and Barfly. I think this is a bit controversial of me.
I don't really like Tut's.
I like the ABC, esp the small bit.
I don't see what the big deal about the Barrowland is.
― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 13:33 (seventeen years ago) link
i don't dislike the 13th note; i just don't see the point in it, given that mono now does what it used to do 100 times better.
barfly ... i dunno. i've had some great nights there. and hell, I SAW M83 THERE AND THAT WAS LIKE SEEING THE FACE OF GOD. but it's kinda freaky, and smells a bit.

x-post 1: FUCKING HUGE. but not as huge as the SECC, which is just pish. the perfect size, say, to see motorhead. which i did.
x-post 2: bible john. he quoted scripture as he murdered them. or something.

Roxy, are you coming to do musicky things in Glasgow? Or are you just being nosey?
I need German beer too, but the old bank balance is looking a bit rubbish. Have fun!

don't bands play at nice 'n sleazy's?
― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 13:47 (seventeen years ago) link
Bands do indeed play at Nice'n'Sleazys. I have seen many an excellent band there.
― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link
I think it goes Rooftops (now called something else), then QM, then Barrowlands, then SECC.
― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 19 July 2006 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link
Barrowlands is somewhere in the region of 1500-2000, I believe.
There's always the Cathouse!
