avalanche records

Ooh la la, The French Wives will be playing a last minute gig in Avalanche Records on Sunday at 5pm, they will also play at sneaky petes the same day... but why pay when you can come to avalanche, buy their single then get back home and watch the Antiques Roadshow or the X-factor results if you mental.

this is what those pesky kids at the list have to say about them... Coming from the same mould of sunshine boy/girl pop of Belle and Sebastian and Camera Obscura that the usually dreich and dour Glasgow seems to embrace. Perfect for woolly jumpers your nan made, leaf tea and walking barefoot in Kelvingrove Park

So that is Sunday 1st November at 5pm

Rachael Sage will play at avalanche on Thursday the 15th of October at about 5pm
