Rudebeard + The Three'n'Eights 

Rudebeard present their second annual 'Dry January Ends Here' party at McChuills, unleashing three weeks of pent up energy in one big sweaty night of punky ska and foul-mouthed lyricism.

Along for the craic this year are The Three'n'Eights, the 'Beards ska-punk-a-billy brothers and sisters from an Ayrshire mother. It'll be as good as a night at the gym - but with a bar. Dae it.

DF Concerts Presents: Voka Gentle

Since their acclaimed second album ‘WRITHING!’, the trio (William J Stokes, Ellie Mason and Imogen Mason) have been busy honing their collective craft, now emerging with an evolved confidence and creative curiosity that explains why they are held in such high esteem by both their musical peers and legends of their genre (Wayne Coyne, Bombay Bicycle Club’s Jack Steadman, Animal Collective’s Panda Bear, Spacemen 3’s Sonic Boom, to name just a few).

DF Concerts Presents: JOOLS

“These violent delights have violent ends,” sings co-vocalist Kate Price on both the album opener ‘The Pleasures’ and its climactic, curtain-dropping title track. “And violently you’ll see, nobody decides it’s over for me, but me.” It’s an echo that bookends Violent Delights by deliberate, poignant design.

DF Concerts Presents: Slag

SLAG formed in Brighton, late 2023. SLAG's guitar riffs are actually kind of crazy when you think about it.

SLAG wear some really cool outfits on stage sometimes. SLAGs singer could be a man if you closed your eyes and listened closely, but she isn't. SLAG released the song Ripped in September and everyone seems to really like it.

Richard Sen | Plus Marie Avril & Gordon

Every time he’s been up here, it’s been absolutely off the scale, so getting him back in the Acid Arch was always going to happen. If you were at any of them, you know what we’re talking about and if you weren’t, trust us, you really, really don’t want to miss him again.

DF Concerts Presents: The Sophs

When Ramon sent a demo reel out to his favorite indies, he wasn’t expecting any replies.

But Travis and Lee were in his inbox the next day, asking if he’d hop on a call. Rough Trade heard the sort of creativity and variety — and “don’t expect me to act pretty” sentiment — that could get The Sophs — including Ramon, Sam Yuh (keyboards), Austin Parker Jones (electric guitar), Seth Smades (acoustic guitar), Devin Russ (drums), and Cole Bobbitt (bass) — a slot on nearly any stage.

DF Concerts Presents: Kasador
Apr
23

DF Concerts Presents: Kasador

This is dressed-down, cheeky, pirate-radio indie-rock. It’s tender and carefully considered, but also raw and wild and burnt around the edges, a sonic and compositional thumbprint that nods to classic and alternative rock history while pushing into something new, something exciting.

If you want more dirty, raw, celebratory rock and roll in your life, stay tuned. Help is on the way.

Vinny

The hirsute hitmeister only started DJing when he came into work here, but he’s quickly became one of our safest pair of hands on the McChuills decks, whether it’s hosting pre-parties for gigs at the Barras, mental aftershows like Brogeal, or kicking off the weekend with one of his trademark four-hour Friday night sets.

Ciaran Devlin

Over the past decade he’s spent a lot of his DJ life selling his soul and doing it purely for cash, playing to crowds where people want to hear specific things, and giving them it in order to get paid. Funnily enough that led him to getting utterly scunnered with playing out, so his New Year’s resolution this year was to go all in on playing whatever the fvck he wants. It’s a lot more fun that way.
