Who I'd like to meet: People who want to get involved with supporting the Gimme Shelter Festvial. Whether that be by volunteering, playing, sponsoring, or simply by spreading the word. It would be great to hear from you.
North Atlantic Oscillation's "Hollywood Has Ended", from the forthcoming album Grappling Hooks, is featured in this month's Police Box compilation from TenTracks. It's here:
In case you haven't heard, TenTracks is a new music delivery service where you can buy exclusive 10-track compilations for £1, i.e. a mere 10p per track.
This month NAO are in the illustrious company of the excellent Found, Orkestra Del Sol, Fence Collective luminaries James Yorkston and King Creosote and exactly 5 others. Once again, that's £1 for ALL TEN TRACKS. Not bad, really.
Check out tracks from our fantastic recording session which produced the EP - 'Problems - Solve Youselves' and see what i could do for you over on my myspace

Thanks x. Two great gigs in April at The Captains Rest:
FREE GIG this Wednesday (15th) with WAKE THE PRESIDENT and PETER PARKER Doors 8. 30pm
and on Friday the 24th - Silence...4! With new Fat Cat Records signing TOM BROSSEAU and support from current King Tut’s artist of the month THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY and DOUG MACGREGOR.
Forget that other rubbish you had planned for this weekend, diy, painting the cat etc, going out to some booooring club with booooring music and even more booooring people - this is where it's really at...
It's all happening at the new studio:
The Tollhouse 10 Possil Rd Glasgow G4 9SY
10 Mins walk from Charing Cross, straight up St Georges Road till you see the Tower Bar in front of you & we're right above it.
I am absolutely dismayed as to the reasons behind the shutting of Capitol...
Myself and Mandy love working there & we have worked really hard to make sure that every band that comes to OUR venue is treated well & has the best possible sound.
We really do care about Capitol, we look after our kit and the venue to keep it in the best shape we can, putting in LOADS of extra UNPAID hours just to try and make it a cut above the rest of the crap out there in Glasgow, and i think everyone, ourselves, you guys the musicians & all of the great promoters have succeeded in building something rare & special, a venue that actually gives a shit!
I seriously hope G1 will see that this is something worth saving, not just for the sake of a couple of jobs, myself's and Mandy's - but for the sake of the whole Glasgow music scene. If you've ever played at Capitol, had a good time and been treated well, don't be lethargic if you're sitting there reading this - all it will take is two minutes to leave a comment on the Capitol myspace supporting the cause & hopefully we can swing it!
