just got this message from mick, so here it is forwarded to sinister... -=- I have yet more gig news (and release dates this time) for The Karelia and the Amphetameanies. Please bear with me, or humour me, or something... The Karelia: The Karelia and El Hombre Trajeado play: Nice'n'Sleazy, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow (Tel 0141 333 9637); Saturday 13th June; 9pm onwards Tickets £3 on the door Described by The List magazine as: "Two of the best alternative bands in Glasgow (that's alternative as in 'actually quite different to most other things you'll hear')." This is a launch night for a split 7" single between El Hombre- very good, kind of Fugazi-ish, John Peel favourites-(their song is called 'Like Quicksand') and the Karelia ('Vision in a World Without Spectacles') on F&J Records. Nationwide UK release on 22nd June (all good independents), 15th June for Glasgow shops (Fopp, Missing etc.). The cover for the single is a bright yellow spiral pattern, with red writing.
