Geese may be the most buzz-worthy band in the world these days, but even they cannot get away with teasing a Glasgow crowd too much. After something politely described by singer Cameron Winter as a “phallic object” was lobbed onstage, the frontman larked about with it, suggesting he might mimic a sexual act. As soon as he pulled it away from his lips, boos descended in force from the always lively throng squeezed together on a sweatbox of a dancefloor.
Pete Fij’s debut solo album, Up’s the New Down is a sharp set of songs that sees the former Adorable front man back in the ring for the first time in quite a while. Hip-swinging yet laidback, self-aware but still cool, it’s a disc that may be reflective but still has plenty of zing about it.
