Yes folks quicker than you can say boo to a goose or even shake a
lambs tail Pin Up Nights is back again to liven up your last Friday of
the month antics. Thank you once again for coming along in numbers in
March, we’re working hard to keep Pin Ups ahead of the usual Glasgow
clubnight action and have got a couple of fantastic events coming up
over the next few months. I’m not giving too much away just yet but
safe to say The Pin Ups Festival will be back this year (bigger and
better than ever) and our May event might just be a bit special
too.... That said, we’ve not slacked off with the good ideas in the
meantime and this month you're in for a real treat as the ladies and
gents behind 5 of Scotland's very best music blogs take to the decks
at Pin Ups.
Y'know, blogs. Hugely popular and intriguing. It's to do with the
Internet and that.
The Pin Ups website has a blog but it mainly involves John D writing a
daft story every couple of weeks about what bands he has seen and
associated drunken scrapes. The bloggers we have recruited are all
Very Serious and even engage each other in impressive existential
chats about what music blogging should be all about, check it out -

Lloyd of Peenko's Blog ( http://peenko.blogspot.com ), Ed of 17
Seconds ( http://www.17seconds.co.uk ), Jason Pop Cop (
http://thepopcop.blogspot.com ), Nick ( http://www.radar.scotsman )
and Halina ( http://www.glasgowpodcart.com ) will all be playing you
some special selections! These characters know more about whats
happening locally and in the music world in general than most people
you’ll ever see assembled in a small kitchen like space again in your
life. Pick their brains, chat to them in what Pin Ups likes to call
"Terrifying Real Life" and more importantly enjoy what is likely to be
an incredible selection of tunes. (Willie from Rokbun has already DJ'd
at Pin UPs twice but we should mention his blog here too -
http://www.rokbun.com ).
Playing live will be Louise against the Elements, following up their
successful Pin Ups debut at Pin Up Frights in October (
http://www.myspace.com/louiseagainsttheelements ), the globe-trotting
Carmine, a new band by chaps who played Pin Ups way back in 2005 as
Kodiak ( http://www.carmineonline.co.uk ) and the tough-talking and
absolutely barking mad Kung Fu (
http://www.myspace.com/themightykungfu ).
And in amongst it all there will be us Pin Ups DJs keeping the action
unfolding throughout both rooms at the Flying Duck.
To whet your appetite for what is going to be jam-packed night of
action and brilliant music why not check out all the fantastic songs
we played at March's Pin Ups by looking here -

(fair warning, the playlist is more impressive than the
pictures..)....
Lastly, everyones favourite Pin Ups character The Butler celebrates 6
months of Pin Ups life this month! Please feel free to award him a
smooch and a well done on your way in. “The master is expecting
yoooooououuuuuuu”
See you on 30th!!
