Hello and welcome to the August edition of the Pennyblackmusic magazine. It has been a year since the restrictions were lifted after lockdown, and during that time our writers, like many music fans, have got into the gradual habit of going back to gigs again. We are running with this edition more live reviews than we have sone since before lockdown, and our writers and photographers have been out at shows across the UK, Europe and America. We are also doing two of our own Bands Nights in September and October. The first of these is at the Water Rats in London and -booked originally in January 2020 and postponed four times because of the pandemic – will take place on September 10th. It will be co- headlined by cinematic pop act Heist, who, after an absence of eighteen years, are making their return to the London stage at our gig, and Idiot Son, who having played our Bands Nights five times before, have announced that this most likely to be their farewell show. Also on the bill are rising indie/alt. rock outfit The Volunteered and Bromide frontman Simon Bromide who will be showing off his new three-piece band. The second gig will take place at The Wee Red Bar in Edinburgh on October 8th and will feature an evening of solo performances. It will be headlined by Stuart Moxham, who was the guitarist and main songwriter in the influential post-punk Young Marble Giants. Since they broke up in the early 1980s, Stuart has carved out an impressive career for himself both with his next project The Gist which has had a revolving line-up and as a solo musician. Also on the bill are local musicians Jeremy Thoms (The Cathode Ray, New Leaf) and Roy Moller. Tickets are available in advance for both gigs are available from www.wegottickets.com. They are £8 in advance and £!0 on the door for the London show and £10 in advance and £12 for the Edinburgh gig.
