There is a gig at The Lot, Grassmarket this Saturday evening, and I happen to *cough* know someone *cough* who is playing in the support band.
The support band is called The Vain Songs. The evilmyspace web page has an example of a vain song on it.
The headlining band is called Quench. The tunes on their own web site and also on their evilmyspace appear to be quite tight and played in the style of emotional hardcore and contemporary punk sounds.
£5 on the door because they are pros. 7:30pm kick off.
Apparently this "turn off your lights" demonstration / experiment / protest is for real (from Climatecrisicoalition.org):
The UN's paramount scientific authority on climate change meets in Paris from January 29 to February 1 to hammer out the first volume of a long-awaited report on the state of global warming today.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is widely expected to declare that climate change is already on the march, many years sooner than expected, and the consequences for humans and biodiversity could be dire.
"By turning off lights and also electrical gadgets that are in stand-by mode, citizens, the media and decision-makers will get the message about energy waste and the urgent need for action" the Alliance For The Planet said.
