There are bands...and there are bands...and then there are the Viragoes.
From the badlands of Clydebank where nothing moves as far as the eye can see, except maybe a solitary wino searching for an off licence that takes milk tokens.
They tell stories about the Viragoes...afterhours, in the call centre hells
and the high street chain gang stores. Stories of outlaw violins and gypsy
guitars. Stories of hard men and harder women, and eerie harmonies echoing down the trail of broken hearts and empty Buckie bottles they leave behind them.
Somewhere in the distance a lonely drug dealer howls for his mate...
...it's wild country...
...Viragoes country.
The Viragoes debut album, "Cheap Shoes & Lies"

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.
This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!
It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm
As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
