Many thanks for this! Being from Glasgow i made the trip to Edinburgh in march to see them since i was surprised the east kilbride boys hadn't announced a show at the barras and i was scared i'd never get another chance...they're now playing the barras in December! Anyone go to the St Luke's show? Tiny venue for a loud band. Usher Hall Edinbugh was brilliant, they met every expectation i had, many many great songs. 👏 Glasgow Eyes will be the soundtrack to my summer, that's if climate change ever gives us a summer.
First and foremost, thank you, Vic Galloway for this wonderful interview with the Reid Brothers, kudos indeed! I'm going to try to keep my comment as short as possible, anyway, here we go. Some years back Iggy Pop gave a talk on BBC, and during the talk he mentioned listening to the radio and how that one special song would pop up among the usual fare. And Iggy teared up when mentioning it ( and hey, so did I ), and Jim talked about listening to Radio Luxembourg under the sheets. It was the connection - that was the magic. And lastly, this : On UA-cam you can find Jim's response ( as he mentions here ) to that interviewer when asked about Joy Division and Jim replying " Oh dear God, no, not Joy Division"... Lol.
The Chain and Division, this old man of 72 , still dig ma!h record collection, and still them both are always near the front. Glasgie eyes, front up noo. .
I'd like to know if they were influenced by early Sisters of Mercy. The leather trousers, obviously, but also the drum machine rhythms, the single-string riffs, the too-cool stage attitude, and the sheer volume of the live shows.
Around 16;30 when Jim(?) is impersonating his dad's outrage about spending money on a "studio" he sounds like Robyn Williams describing Scotts inventing golf! ua-cam.com/video/14NQIq4SrmY/v-deo.html
That was fun to listen to. Thanks for the upload!

Yeah the St Luke's show was class. Was glad to get tickets for that.

Great to see Miriam Margolyes as always.
One of Townshend!s best lines, all artists have one common share, insecurity.

One of my favourite comedy sketches of all. Also JAMC is the GOAT
I`d be too shy to talk to Jim or William tbf.
I mean, what could you even say?
