Winning Sperm Party

Wilson Tan are a slightly deranged alt-country-folk band from Glasgow. Bizarre, yet charming, their single Big Dog is a quirky lament over what may be a lost love, or a love never had at all, probably sung after having drunk liver-shattering measures of Whisky. The B-Side, ‘Harry’s Theme’ confidently demonstrates the Tan’s musical capabilities, with a laid back-country-jam-feel, that sounds as though it took place on some front porch in a quiet town in dying sunlight. This could well be the stronger of the two tracks if they laid down some hushed vocals, hinting at greater things to come.

‘Big Dog’ is currently available from El Rancho Records here, where you can buy it on Itunes. Knock back a whisky with it today.

Next week Action Beat (the noise band from Bletchley) are recording their new album at Southern Studios in London. The record will be out on Southern Records imprint, ‘Truth Cult’, in October. It’s going to be killer. Catch them on the 23rd September at the 13th Note with Bob Corn and Jer Reid & Shane Connolly.

Tomorrow Diskant.net will have been writing about music stuff they like for 10 years. I didn’t realise the internet had even been around for ten years already. Also, ten years ago I only listened to Aerosmith and had no idea people made music in Scotland. Therefore, I’m pretty amazed/impressed. This feat is well worth celebrating and they’re doing so at the CCA tomorrow night. As well as live music from Findo Gask and Sunnyvale Noise Sub-Element, they have special guests, DJs, and lots of wild prizes from Gringo, Rock Action, Fatcat and more!
