Jonnie Common‘s a clever lad. He had the idea to ask a selection of Scotland’s leading musical lights to send him stripped-down performances of some their songs so he could mess about with them, which they did. He then squirrelled himself away, adding layers of bleeps and bloops and rattles and crashes to the artists’ guide tracks, as is his wont; and the result is Deskjob. And, of course, it’s brilliant. These photos are from the launch night in Glasgow, and if you’re quick you can buy a copy here, otherwise you’ll have to pick up a copy next time you’re at one of the bands’ shows.
Limbo
The Voodoo Rooms

From their fortress in the Voodoo Rooms Ballroom, the wily old generals of Limbo marshalled the formidable forces of Jonnie Common, Conquering Animal Sound and Meursault and dropped a laser-guided cluster-bomb of brilliance into the midst of last Saturday night in Edinburgh. Rear-admiral Common and the specialist Animal Sound unit both have albums to promote, while the Meursault regiment are running their highly-anticipated new recruits through boot camp. It all looks very promising for a successful assault on the front line.
Gilded Balloon at the Teviot
6th – 29th August 2010
12:30 to 3am
New York Antifolk mastermind Lach has transplanted his legendary open mic night from Manhattan to Edinburgh for a run at this year’s Fringe. If you want to take part, just like Yusuf Azak and Neil from Meursault did, just get in touch and they’ll fit you onto the bill!
Matthew has also put a few videos up on Song, By Toad, if you fancied a look at those too.
Featuring Withered Hand, Meursault, FOUND, and Over The Wall

Limbo hit the road to pitch a tent at Knockengorroch 2010, and invited some of the luminaries from their regular line-ups along. Withered Hand, Meursault, FOUND and Over The Wall all made the trip. Details remain sketchy about who made it home.

The Bowery returned to the Edinburgh live scene with performances from Bowery luminary Sam Amidon; Portland, Oregon visitors Loch Lomond, Sam’s tour buddy Leif Vollebekk, and Edinburgh stalwart Neil Pennycook. The sort of line up the Bowery was always famous for.
Sneaky Pete’s
Edinburgh
The wonderful and really rather stylish This Is Music team hosted four gigs to celebrate their fourth birthday this month. I got along to a couple, and took photos at this one (clearly). Good to see a hometown band up from Cardiff in the shape of Islet, they were energetic to say the least and most engaging! This Is Music stalwarts Meursault rounded out the evening..
All Creatures Will Make Merry album launch
Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh

Meursault released All Creatures Will Make Merry into the wild with quite the fanfare at Cab Vol on Saturday night. And a fanfare is no less than such a fantastic album deserves. It’s avalaible to order now from Song, By Toad Records, if you fancy treating yourself. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
