Golden Teacher – No Luscious Life

Golden Teacher came tumbling back into our ears in a familiar yet chaotic fashion: they say themselves, “accept no substitute” – it really is quite difficult to think of anyone capable of swapping places with the Glasgow band. Rocking out of the Green Door Studios, Golden Teacher chuck out a barely-tamed mix of housey beats,

Tracks of 2017 (20-11)

20. Golden Teacher – ’Spiritron’ ‘Spiritron’ was the standout in an unexpected joyous surprise of a Golden Teacher full-length, No Luscious Life. The track captures the band’s effervescent live sound with an addictive mess of punk energy, otherworldly synths and Detroit funk, dancefloor hitting beats. 19. Shredd – ‘Flight of Stairs’ [Fuzzkill] ‘Flight Of Stairs’ begins with

Bdy_Prts – Fly Invisible Hero [Aggrocat] We would say that Fly Invisible Hero is a record that’s seldom seem in this day and age, but we’ve place another album slightly further up the list that BDY_PRTS will no doubt have taken influence from, what we can say

Golden Teacher – Sauchiehall Enthrall

Glasgow six piece Golden Teacher opted to self-release this dubiously named EP after previously being very much associated with the Optimo behemoth: dubious perhaps because the one thing Sauchiehall Street rarely is is enthralling… though the night time delights of stilletos used as weaponry and as many Irn Bru jelly shots as you can down

Electric Fields, 29/8/15

The journey down to Electric Fields begins post 9am and a ‘Happy Bus’ from Buchanan Bus Station; how anyone can muster up the energy to be “happy” at this time in the morning is beyond me and the atmosphere on the bus is as you’d expect from bed missing music lovers with not to many

Doune The Rabbit Hole, 21/8/15

Work commitments cause us to miss the start of this year at Doune, with things kicking off at around 4pm on the Friday and us unable to get up and set up until around three hours later; this means unfortunately we miss the ever entertaining Stanley Odd, who no doubt set proceedings off with a

The East End Social Presents The Last Big Weekend

Golden Teacher – Party People [Optimo Music]

Golden Teacher’s third EP for Optimo Music offers up some incredibly diverse dancefloor gems. On title track ‘Party People’ driving, afrobeat rhythms meet swaggering, howling vocals and space-age synth flares; the perfect intro to a 12” of eclectic, genre-hopping dance music. This is the first time the two Golden Teachervocalists have been introduced and the
