Hinterland Night 2 – Glasgow, Various

Posted on May 7, 2009 by extremelisteningmode

After doing a passable impression of Bunk and McNulty the night before, a tender ELM team have spent the day interviewing bands and now just want to hear some live music. We’ve heard good things about Y’all is Fantasy Island who open up at the Arches. Again, a strong post-rock theme emerges, with dandruff-displacing riffs [...]

Hinterland Night 1 – Glasgow, Various

Posted on May 5, 2009 by extremelisteningmode

Hinterland kicked off for the ELM team with Trailer Trash Tracys at the Classic Grand, a venue which seemed too big for them even before the sparse attendance. It’s a deep and unmistakable truth about gig going that the smaller the crowd, the further back they will stand. It’s a learned behavior from school, I [...]

Hinterland – Interview with Geordi La Force

Posted on April 20, 2009 by extremelisteningmode

Two of the Wookie’s first loves entwine in this latest interview; metal and Star Trek. Glaswegian rock experimentalist Geordi La Force is much admired round here for his magnificently titled song ‘The Baguette of Phil Collins’. He’s playing Hinterland and has a lot of interesting things to say, especially on the relationship between the internet [...]

Hinterland – Interview with Elks

Posted on April 16, 2009 by extremelisteningmode

We really hope you are enjoying this series of interviews as much as we are. It’s also heartening to know there are so many committed, talented new acts coming through.

Hinterland – Interview with De Rosa

Posted on April 14, 2009 by extremelisteningmode

We  first checked out De Rosa at Malcolm Middleton’s Burst Noel in December (see reviews) and were rather impressed with them. With Hinterland coming up, we were keen to chat with them and Chris from the band rather kindly took the time to answer our questions. The result is, in our humble opinion, very interesting [...]
