 | Welcome to the Sub Club's website. After twenty plus years of partying in a dear green place called Glasgow, the Sub Club still resides deep below number 22 Jamaica Street. Weekend in, weekend out, you can find the best of the city's music makers playing to the best people the city can muster in this small, intimate basement. And joining them are artists from all corners of the planet, enthused by the reputation that the club, hand in hand with it's hedonists, has built over years. | So what happens here? Amongst other things the club provides a platform for young, up-and-coming music makers, from laptop troubadors to the Glasgow School of Guitar Bands, while longer serving residents get a free reign to push their music forward. Saturday night's Subculture, lorded over by Harri and Domenic and Sundays, the bastion of Twitch and Wilkes' Optimo, are both known locally, nationally and internationally for redrawing musical boundries on a regular basis. Sound good? Then have a look around and if you like what you see, please come join us some weekend soon... |

BUY IT HERE! | 08.07.08 Chrome Hoof @ Optimo Sunday 13th July "Chrome Hoof formed at the turn of the millenium to celebrate their shared love of mid-seventies funk and disco. Like sequined pied pipers, they recruited everywhere they played, building an army of multi-instrumentalists, including a full horn and string section, generating a devoted cult following with their legendary live shows. A veritable orchestra of musicians perform, decked out in futuristic monks' robes, kicking it like some unholy hybrid of Sun Ra, ESG, Goblin, Parliament-Funkadelic and Black Sabbath, complete with choreographed dancers, actors taking vaudeville interludes, and a twelve-foot tall metallic ram dominating the dancefloor." |
