and just why has glasgow produced more decent bands than you can shake a whole bundle of sticks at when edinburgh hasn't?
not quite fair, and unlike me to defend edinburgh, but what about Fire Engines! (and by association anything else Davey Henderson has done), Josef K (and by association anything else Paul Haig has done) Shop Assistants, Jesse Garon... a few others. Weren't The Thanes from Edinburgh?
Still, as you so rightly infer, Glasgow's Miles Better.
It wasn't always like that, there were many other bands around at the time of the Fire Engines et all, The Delmotes, Flowers, Scars, Boot For Dancing etc. I dunno why Edinburgh died after the Shop Assistants and the associated bands. Still GIlded Lil and Dominic Waxing Lyrical are from Edinburgh. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
