Imbolc
Feilire & Wyrd Collective presents Imbolc.
Féilire & Wyrd Collective are delighted to host our second gathering, coming together under the new moon of Imbolc (1st Feb), at The Flying Duck on the 31st of January.
Imbolc celebrates the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Spring is letting its first light in, and the land waking from its winter sleep. It’s a night intertwined with the deity Brigid, a night to leave offerings, weave wreaths and welcome her as she passes through the night. Imbolc comes from the Gaeilge phrase ‘i mbolg’ meaning in the belly we enter the time of renewal, softness, and making space for what we wish to grow.
On the night we will have installations, traditions, readings by Wyrd Collective, live performance by Ushmush & Féilire & Wyrd DJ set into the wee hours.
Ushmush (AKA Ennis Town Adi AKA Buachaillín Dembó AKA Ól Man) is a producer and vocalist who blends club influences with lyrics sung in a mixture of Gaeilge (Irish) and English. This hybrid style is self-described as Reggaeltón. A seasoned performer as an MC on the club scene in Ireland, with mainstream media airplay and appearances on RTÉ, TG4 and BBC Gaeilge. Ushmush most recently contributed vocals to Rory Sweeney’s acclaimed 2025 album Old Earth in collaboration with Roo Honeychild. He tours nationally and in the UK with Súil Amháin, and works collaboratively with pop sensation Lewis Doyle Singer. A member of underground Irish Hip-Hop supergroup Machine Gun Céilí and is one half of the rap trio D’Burglary.

CORY HANSON
Saturday 20th February
19:00 - 22:00
Like a sweet spring breeze after a long, cruel winter, Cory Hanson’s blowing through town again. And like the wind, I Love People comes from parts unknown. Need a ride? Long as you’re ready to find yourself wherever it dies down, jump on! Despite all the complications of life here in Central Casting 2025, Cory and the boys are happier than ever to be playing music at its most beautiful for ALL the people: eminent hipsters bellied up to the bar alongside the ropers, riders and all the other jokers for whom freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose or do. Followers of Cory’s twin arcs as solo singer and Wand member will be intrigued to learn that the lineup here is the same band that recorded last year’s Vertigo. Yep, Wand — their Masters of Unbounded Space robes traded in for Wrecking Crew trucker’s caps, as they reel out licks both tasty and smooth, like chopsmeisters of yore. That’s Robbie Cody co-producing behind the desk, Evan Backer playing bass and arranging strings and horns, Evan Burrows on drums and percussion and Cory on piano, guitars and voices and songs.

22:00 - 01:00

A proper mix of different styles of punk and hardcore.
Cardiff/Yorkshire's The Dogs (Mendeku Diskak / Under The Gun) are coming up to Glasgow for the first time ft. members of Total Con, Asid and Chain of Flowers, sounding like a Glenn Danzig tribute act fronting a Blitz tribute act.
Diall (aka the Makeshift Swahili in-house touring band (Crew Cuts / Hypnotic Regression)) are visiting from Newcastle for the fourth time with new tunes in tow - somehow even more apt for moving side-to-side.
New (ish) noise/hardcore/d-beat from Leeds' Mass Hallucination (Brainrotter) rounds off the out-of-towners - apparently their set last ten minutes so don't go out for a fag.
Local support comes from Knome and one more band TBC.

With an eclectic set of influences from the ‘70s and ‘80s dipping into post-punk, indie-rock and shoegaze alike, World News combines addictive atmospheric guitar riffs with seductive, nonchalant melodies. Moody, punchy, and nostalgic, they’ve drawn comparisons to iconic British bands from The Smiths and The Clash to Dire Straits, wearing the past on their sleeve while remaining perfectly original yet strangely familiar.
2024 saw a continued upward trajectory for the band with the release of two standout EPs, Escape and Mindsnap, their debut appearance in the US at The New Colossus Festival in New York City, and features in Stereogum’s 40 Best New Artists of 2024 and The Fader’s 13 Artists to Watch for 2025. Contributions to 2025 include the singles ‘Don’t Want to Know’ and ‘Everything Is Coming Up Roses’, which set the tone for their 2026 debut LP, alongside a string of summer festival dates and continued sell-out shows across the UK.

Kids United x Tight Red Afro pt.2 // Bnji
Make it stand out
Kids United returns for the first time in over three years and we could not think of a better way to bring it back. After a long break, we are reuniting on the dance floor with our friends Tight Red Afro and Bnji for a Christmas Party to round off the year in style.
As with every KU event, this night is all about giving something back. All profits will be split between Refuweegee, supporting displaced people who have made Glasgow their home, and MacMillan cancer charity, two charities close to our members hearts.

12th Isle x MAL Recordings
Make it stand out
Lesser labels would have their copy about an event this close to Christmas lean lazily on that proximity to the festivities. They would garishly wrap cliched tinsel around all of the essential information regarding the event, likely suggest that attendees were akin to elves or reindeer at a push and make bold claims about looming, sauced-up familial disagreements being remedied by bassweight. Well, we aren’t those kinds of record labels. We’re Mal Recordings and 12th Isle, god dammit, and we believe that the little baby Jesus and contemporary club culture shouldn’t be anywhere near each other.
These are the cold, hard brass tacks: on the 19th of December, year of our little baby lord 2025, we will be combining forces in The Flying Duck to bring from Japan the most recent Mal signee, Element, to you, the perfectly normal, not remotely elvish club goer. Joining him to help celebrate the release (and only the release) of ‘Motion Exchange’ are Elle Andrews, Jon K, Fergus Clark and Lewis Lowe. They will play music, you will dance. You will leave, filled with a sense of mirth and high spirits completely unrelated to the season. Capiche? We don’t want to hear anything about sleigh bells, Michael Caine Muppets movies or whatever figgy pudding happens to be, okay? Great. See you there.
Element - Motion Exchange now available on Bandcamp and any record shop worth their salt. Wild, propulsive dancefloor workouts rooted in the classic UK dub sound taking in techno and industrial influences along the way. 'Seriously next level dub mutations for the head and the feet'
A Very 'Bodies In Motion' Xmas
A free party to celebrate the end of the year. We'll be taking donations for Glasgow NW Foodbank!

gullygully closes out the year with an offering of late-night experimental R&B, ambient and deconstructed club music, bringing a wide terrain of sounds together for a final party with some of our favourite current artists.
This time round it’s our privilege to invite one of the country’s most distinctive experimental voices, London-based producer, singer and DJ, Lauren Duffus.
Returning to Glasgow with a hybrid-live set and fresh off the back of one of the year’s hardest releases - her self-produced EP “Can’s Gone Warm” - Lauren’s sound fuses together a collage of heavy club textures with hazy vocals and ethereal instrumentals, all unfolding into complex and hypnotic emotional atmospheres.
With live support from much loved Glasgow-based experimentalists Chizu Nnamdi and Raivo Sloan, alongside resident makaya opening with a hybrid ambient set, this night we’re leading with the heart ♡
Subcity: A Halcyon Night
Night is drawing in and the air is becoming sharper, a clean edge makes everything feel a bit more spacious. Listen to the bird call in the distance, as Subcity invites you to A Halcyon Night, a winter sanctuary of glowing lamps, coats piled high, and a soft hush settling over the room.
Step in from the cold, untangle your scarf, and find refuge from wrath with calming waves and soundscapes at the Apollo Bar. Across the evening a handpicked crew will guide you through slow atmospheres and shimmering textures, each shaping a little pocket of peace in the cold.
We also have £10 ‘Donation to the Station’ ticket tier for anyone that’s in a giving mood and wants to help us raise money for some new decks :)

SANAM
SANAM
Monday 1st December
19:00 - 22:00
SANAM is a Beirut-based sextet that merges psych/kraut, improv/skronk, electronics, goth, and jazz elements with traditional Egyptian song and modern Arabic poetry in a compelling brew of widescreen hybrid avant-rock. Emerging from Beirut’s fiercely creative independent scene, the group features Sandy Chamoun (vocals), Antonio Hajj (bass), Farah Kaddour (buzuq), Anthony Sahyoun (guitar, synth), Pascal Semerdjian (drums), and Marwan Tohme (guitars)—each an accomplished musician in their own right, with ties to influential Lebanese acts like Kinematik, Postcards, Al Rahel al Kabir, and Oviid. Formed following an invitation to collaborate with Hans Joachim Irmler (of German krautrock legends Faust) at the Irtijal Festival in 2021, the band solidified its identity during a recording residency in rural Lebanon amid national turmoil.
SANAM captured its debut album Aykathani Malakon entirely live, forgoing overdubs, embracing improvisation and musical friction to create an immersive and otherworldly sonic landscape. With haunting vocals, deeply textured instrumental layers, and texts by Egyptian composer Sayyid Darwish and contemporary Lebanese poets Bassem Hajjar and Paul Shaoul, the album channels the urgency, mysticism, and emotional upheaval of contemporary life in Lebanon and the region. Mixed by Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem in My Heart) and mastered by Heba Kadry, the debut album was released in June 2023 by UK label Mais Um Discos, garnering notable critical acclaim from The Guardian, The Wire, BBC Radio 6 (from both Gilles Peterson and Tom Ravenscroft) and Bandcamp Daily.
SANAM brought its live show to Europe for select engagements in 2023-2024, including festival appearances at Le Guess Who?, Feeërieën, and End of the Road and recorded a live album at London’s Café Oto, released on limited edition cassette by Mais Um Discos, capturing the raw and transcendent energy of the band’s performances.
SANAM made its first trip to North America in June 2025 with a string of festival appearances in Canada, including Sled Island, Everyseeker, and Suoni Per Il Popolo, followed by European festival dates in July, including Roskilde. The band will release their sophomore album with renowned Canadian experimental label Constellation in September 2025, promising a deeper dive into their boundary-defying synthesis of folklore, feedback, and freeform fervor.

A pioneer of electronic music, Phil has been at the forefront of the underground for over two decades.

Alongside his solo work, Kieran also explores a more melodic dimension with his acclaimed Le Carousel project, showcasing the full depth of his artistry.
His versatility has seen him collaborate with and draw inspiration from kindred spirits like Andrew Weatherall, Roman Flügel, David Holmes, and Green Velvet. He’s also the mind behind Leatherette, his celebrated Belfast party, known for its eclectic and adventurous spirit, with special guests such as The Hacker, Sean Johnston, and Optimo to name a few.
Launch control will be in the hands of Luna Roja resident Ángel Negrín and special guest Lovell, who will set the course, raising energy and spirit as the journey unfolds.
A night for musical explorers and cosmic dancers. Join us for this third and unique edition.

KLING KLANG
KLING KLANG / LUCID SINS / AILBHE NIC OIREACHTAIGH
Wednesday 26th November
19:00 - 23:00
Kling Klang are an experimental kraut-punk band from Liverpool consisting of noisy synths and drums. Starting as a trio in 1999, Kling Klang began making music using only cheap keyboards and manually operated drum machines fed through distorted amps. Initially setting out to be a guitar-based rock group, the use of the above instruments was intended only for the first gig to counteract the lack of a full line-up/drummer/etc. But instead, excited with the sonic impact of this accidental setup - they decided to embrace & start writing songs with this new sound.
This line-up went on to release a few 7" singles capturing these askew drone-fuelled yet melodic arrangements, which at the time were enthusiastically received, by John Peel and the underground press.
In 2001 the band became a 5-piece, ditching the drum machines altogether in favour of adding live drums, vintage synths & minimal use of guitar. Releasing the Nexus/Apex single with this new heavier line-up, the band moved further into previously uncharted space-punk terroritory. Following the excitement of this release and their increasingly confident live performances, they were invited by bands such as Mogwai, Stereolab, Clinic and Trans Am to tour with them, regularly sending their partisan crowds away talking as much about the support as the headline act.
In June 2002 the band in collaboration with respected German performance artist/mineralogist Mister B presented the ambitious live performance - "Esthetik Of Destruction". A stunning sound and visual performance situated in a Liverpool warehouse involving 14 televisions converted to transform sound into incredible optical effects.
Their album "ESTHETIK OF DESTRUCTION" was released on Mogwai's Rock Action Records in 2006. It features all of the bands recordings to date, as well as some brand new, previously unreleased material.

Lucid Sins are Andreas Jönsson & Ruaraidh Sanachan.
"You stumble through the forest. Alone and far from home. Lost in a world of green. Hidden in the dark. As the light fades you glimpse flickering flame and catch the scent of smoke...
Shadows cast by a low fire take human-esque forms. Leaning in for warmth, they share *TEN TALES OF HOPE AND BETRAYAL, MAGIC AND MADNESS, LOVE AND LOSS*
One-by-one the figures begin to dance and spin as the sound of *OCCULT PSYCHEDELIA* drifts through the trees. With swirling perception you release your grip on space and time...
Around a glowing fire, deep in the woods, LUCID SINS ARE DANCING IN THE DARK...WILL YOU DANCE WITH THEM??"
-
Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh is a viola player exploring the tonal possibilities of gut strings and wood in both amplified and acoustic contexts.
Amalgamations of influences from improvised, traditional and early music styles can be heard on solo recordings Oreing (Fort Evil Fruit 2017), The Rounds (KRUT 2021) and most recently Live At Sonic Acts (Scatter Archive 2023). She lives in Glasgow where she plays in free-improv quartet Dome Riders with Fritz Welch, ArminSturm and Mike Parr-Burman.

JAMES K
JAMES K
Wednesday 12th November
19:00 - 22:00
James K is a boundary-pushing artist, producer, and vocalist whose work defies easy categorisation. Blending experimental electronics with dream pop, trip-hop, and fractured club textures, her sound is intimate, strange, and emotionally resonant. Since emerging from New York’s underground scene, James K has carved out a distinctive space with releases on labels like PAN, Incienso, and her own label She Rocks!—each offering a glimpse into her otherworldly sonic universe.
Her forthcoming album Friend (out 5th September 2025) marks a bold evolution in her artistry. Lyrically raw and sonically expansive, the album explores the complexities of connection, disassociation, and vulnerability with haunting beauty and sharp clarity. It’s her most accessible and affecting work to date, while still rooted in the experimentalism that defines her voice.
Known for deeply immersive live performances, James K brings her songs to life with hypnotic visuals, textured vocals, and layered electronics. She has collaborated with the likes of Yves Tumor, Drew McDowall, and Aaron Dilloway, and earned praise from outlets like The Quietus, Pitchfork, and Resident Advisor.
For fans of Tirzah, Eartheater, and Dean Blunt, James K is an essential and singular voice in the landscape of forward-thinking music.
