Arab Strap will perform at The Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow on October 17th next year. The band started out as an intimate project and gained success with their unique style. The price is to be checked on the website.
Arab Strap started out as an intimate project with home-recorded tapes shared between friends, but after the unexpected success of their inimitable debut single ‘The First Big Weekend’ they quickly found themselves, along with pals Mogwai, as some of the most exciting and cherished music coming out of Scotland. The band’s first gig was recorded live for John Peel, who became an early devotee. Arab Strap are thirty years old this year, so they've decided to celebrate by doing what they enjoy most: by making new music. The new album, Half-Told Tales, will be released on Rock Action Records on September 4th – almost thirty years to the day since their first single – and is available to pre-order now.
