BREAKING NEWS -- I'm actually just finishing my first record. It has only taken 5 years of scrapping my own songs constantly to finally be happy. And I hope the music makes someone (anyone) happy too. The tracks will be up here soon, and with option to buy - the record will sell for the exact price it cost to produce. It is not a profit-making venture at this stage. Thanks for looking/reading.

THE DOUGLAS FIRS IS NEIL ANDREW. THE DOUGLAS FIRS IS AN OPEN-MINDED PROJECT STARTED IN 2004, ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION FROM ANYONE WHO PLAYS ANYTHING. AND EVEN THOSE WHO DON'T.
I am the douglas firs.
mission statement: the douglas firs finds difficulty in finishing the music that I so long to produce, mainly due to his persistent fixation with the prerequisite that all of his songs must be overly meaningful yet unpretentious, romantic but also objective, beautiful but also hideous, profound but also humorous, plus every other set of opposites that could possibly be paired together to the point that no music can be finished whatsoever. I swear that one of these days I will finish a song that I will be content with.
Electropapknit are pleased to announce that we are back with a new club night featuring amazing bands from Wednesday 4 November 2009!!!
As a new night in the now long gig history of Electropapknit shows, we thought we had to come up with an apt name that put across what we are about: great bands, cheap prices and bloody good times.
Therefore the new clubnight will be called Panda Panda Panda!
Based at the Glasgow School of Art, door entry with be £3 with cheap drink deals on shots at £1, pints £1.50 and vodka mix £1.50. We are very excited about the first night in November as it features three of our favourite most excellent bands from Glasgow:
Vom - mind bending apocalypse space rock, with a nod to the lounge effect that might just melt you! This aggression won't stand, man!
The Ballad of Mable Wong - jangled up bloody alt fun, with progressive and decadent melodies released by sharp guitar crunch, Sexy!
Mr Peppermint - former Hyena megasexuals, with swooning noise vox and tub thumping rhythms. Killer riffs on one side, masks in the other!
this is the other fifty% of animal sound - namely the male half i love it too though i had to look up a meaning for mellifluous you are going to play with us live, at a festival in my flat. it is all planned and drawn up, i promise
how did you disable it?? i must do that pronto!! yeah the involuntary photos bit is fucking sick,as in bad sick. i've had to de-tag some pretty disgraceful snaps. i guess if one wasn't so vain it wouldn't matter as much, or...no, it's just wrong!
yes. a big moth sanctuary in copenhagen.. next week i will be in my old moth sanctuary in london for a few days. will you be there too? flap those dusty little wings towards the giant light.... have you found me on facebook? it's scary in there. i especially hate the chatbox.
i'm dusting up my wings already!! i was going through some boxes from london the other day and found the white horses head you stole for me in camden. amazing. i think it's the second time i find it and tell you and think it's time for a visit.xx
let's spy! moth album....i'm intrigued, will i be able to hear it anywhere? i'll turn out all the lights in my house and fly up and down the windows looking at the bulbs outside just to complete the atmosphere.
hows my favourite moth these days? inspected any new light bulbs? burnt your wings? nestling under floorboards? everyone has fled to facebook. are you there too?
