The best kept secret in music
Press
Glasgow band The Pedestrians were the headline act and obviously with a name like that they are leaving themselves open to light-hearted abuse but the-mag would never stoop so low!
The initial tracks had a jingle jangle quality to them, again a sound that has always worked well in Glasgow, but it was with the addition of a female vocalist that the material stepped on a bit. After a while, the band were locking themselves into a Faces like sound and that 1970s pomp and sleazy rock sound was working its way around the room.
The backing vocals were a strong highlight and again, the size and depth of the sound belied the local nature of the band again indicating that the band is looking towards bigger and better things.
The Pedestrians seemed to have a swagger in their sound and its clear they certainly believed in themselves. With a last track that had similarities to The Clash's "White Riot", the night was book ended by some punk sounds and as reason to get away from pop monstrosities occurring on Glasgow south side, the night was a success leaving many folk with no regrets
