Only Scottish date of the 2025 tour from Pigeon Pit and Walter Mitty And His Makeshift Orchestra Tour. Support from Nasty Fishmonger and Pictureskew.
PIGEON PIT
Pigeon Pit is a collection of stories wrapped in sunburned skin and a brave heart from a small beach town. They evoke a honky-tonk held in a punk house living room the Olympia band finds sparks of communal joy while sorting through the stress and grief of daily life offering bittersweet snapshots that stick with you long afterwards. Centred in the now under a backdrop of rising global fascism and AI battling it out with reality the band is focusing on how to keep sane and still love and have fun in these dark days. The band went into recording their fifth album “Crazy Arms” after the busiest year since their founding. They toured for the first time as a full six-piece played high-profile gigs like their first Tiny Desk show played with Laura Jane Grace and toured Australia and New Zealand. Despite obvious signs of the band’s growing popularity they still tapped into their DIY roots in recording this one using a friend’s basement as their studio.
WALTER MITTY AND HIS MAKESHIFT ORCHESTRA
Of all the ways for a cult band to rise out of a decade of silence Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra chose to send their fans on a real life treasure hunt for their new album “Yikes Almighty”. The album a calming existential crisis set to children’s toy instruments was dubbed to a single cassette and buried in a cave in the California desert. The band released a cryptic video that serves as the treasure map with the message “if you find it we will release it.”
Though the bedroom folk punk outfit has not released music in 11 years in actuality they have been consistently releasing and touring under their genre-defying umbrella name Walter Etc. When asked why the band is split into two identities singer / songwriter Walter himself Dustin Cole Hayes responded “my life is already such a mess I decided I’d keep adding to the chaos.” It is Hayes’s cut-your-own-ear-off artistic sincerity that has made the Walter-verse fertile grounds for such strong lore and cultural myth.
NASTY FISHMONGER
Nasty Fishmonger was formed with the grand ambition of getting into festivals for free. With that dream now realised their debut album 'Band of Common Folk' is seeing the chaotic folk-punk collective ascend to ever greater heights. Foot-stomping folk anthems with earworm choruses and a riotous live show ensure that audiences everywhere are left with an insatiable hunger for the 'Fishmonger!
