Yes. Who. We. Tremendous once again from Paul Higgins in becoming Ross Ramond and taking us with him back to Airdrie. Tuned into The Slits docu now. Music Saves. Arts and culture matters #endthetories

This Is Memorial Device at the Traverse tonight, time travel back to 80s Airdrie and the greatest band no one’s ever heard of, with a sensational performance by Paul Higgins.

All hail David Keenan Paul Higgins Neil Murray Graham Eatough

A very exciting development in the world of Mono Glasgow which is impacting the world of monorail music and the world of the pastels too. Mono is now carrying Yogi Tea's lime mint flavour - the connoisseurs choice.

My day job is working at Monorail Music in Glasgow.

Our account has been locked, I think if I even @ it here the reach will be limited so just putting it here so anyone looking for the shop account knows.

Hopefully back online in the next couple of days.

It’s the final day of This Is Memorial Device in Glasgow, two shows today, and what a run it has been, blown away by the whole team’s vision, met so many true believers old and new, and Paul Higgins’s performance has been completely off the chain. See you all at the aftershow x

This is Memorial Device was joyful. An experience for all the true believers that takes David Keenan's dreams and makes them real. Mind warping, head shifting, soul ascending stuff. #whoweyes

The fictional history of 1980s Airdrie’s mysterious, post-punk legends is a gloriously hallucinatory journey, back to the hopes and dreams of early adulthood. 🤟

THIS IS MEMORIAL DEVICE is showing from next Wednesday! 👇
