SLOUCH Bar, Glasgow http://www.slouch-bar.co.uk/
Arrived just after 6pm and the staff at Slouch were very helpful from the start. They were very attentive and friendly I felt so welcome and on arrival I was shown through to the lounge area which is also used for the live events.
I then ordered my meal Soup of the day was my first choice. I have to say it was warm and very spicy HOT! HOT HOT!!. My main meal was a dream tasted so good. I could have eating twice, I felt like licking the plate!. Breast of Chicken on a base of Haggis not sure but I think it was turnip and tatties mixed it was just delicious . 2 course meal for £10.95 . A bargain I say!!! Highly recommended and such a lovely setting ! Lager was cold and perfect and went down a treat!! Thank you SLOUCH!!!! 10/10 if I were to rate it!!.

Anyway Music and first up were a 3 piece band called 'HERCULEAN' are an Alternative / Rock / Pop band from Glasgow.Stuart McInnes - Vocals/Guitar Steven Gerry - Bass ,Declan O'Kane - Drums.
I thought I was being transported back in time and could hear a sound taking me back to the 80's . I could see who they are influenced by and also seen a hint of Kasabian in there music fantastic song Broken which would certainly get a top 10 slot in any chart and I am sure they will be signed up very soon. Just loved the Drummer's expressions when he was playing. !!
I later chatted with with Stephen and hopefully we will hook up to do a photo shoot and a video real soon.
They are certainly a band to look out for the future.
The Next band up was Rebel 69 featuring a new lead singer . I photographed them in Ivory Blacks in March this year . At that time their lead singer was blonde I thought they had a Blondie feel to their set-up. The sound still has that feel but their new Singer adds a bit more of a Rock
feel and I would say is a lot stronger!.
Band are ;- Lynn lead singer, Steevee ,Rhythm guitar, Nick lead guitar and Ross bass, Kevin on Drums
Rebel 69,their music is melodic and has a blues feel to it!. bagpipes in their too but this was achieved by Nick on his lead guitar. Lynn looked every part of a Rock n Roll lady. I while I listened to her sing could hear influences from Blondie . I have to say "Kiss Me " cracking tune and has to be my favourite and cracking set.
They are a must see act and looking to hearing new material from them soon.
The final act of the night was The Black Lights. who I must say were very active with a hard rock sound and the crowd really enjoyed.
Absolutely loved this band fast , energetic and fun music sounded sweet
in thier own words in their bio on Facebook
The hail from Central Scotland and current band members are
The Black Lights are a collective of five (more or less) grown men who hail from the hills and dales of Central Scotland, formed in early 2006.
If you happen to be tired and sick of the re-processed hippity hop beats, affected accents that plague sanitised 'indie' like a drunken mistake and the whiny bubblegum melodrama of fringe-weilding teenagers then we are a band you can trust to offer a guilt-free and refreshingly honest alternative.
Steel-lunged vocals spitting out melodies that cling to your conscience with VD-like enthusiasm, enough riffz 'n' drumz to blow a hole deep enough for sans-bullshit lyrics to be fully absorbed and live shows that remind you just why sweaty lager soaked venues are infinitely preferable to listening at home with the volume at 4....that's us.
Rock Awesome.
