Diskant is ten!

Glasgow based music and pop culture website Diskant is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a fabulous all singing, all dancing party at the CCA. Live music comes from much fancied bliss-popstrels Findo Gask and existential electronic punks Sunnyvale Noise Sub-Element, while I'll be manning the decks for one of my mildly shambolic, but hopefully funky and righteous, DJ sets. And what's more, there's an indie tombola, where you can get the chance to win some top prizes. See you there!

W'Owfi Fest

Beard fully supports Wo'Owfi, a fantastic day of underground music and DIY fun in aid of Organisation For Women's Freedom In Iraq.
There's live music from Kylie Minoise, Skeleton Bob, Gummy Stumps, Jer and Shane, Mills & Boon, Mike & Solveig, James William Hindle and Calvin Halliday, Johnny & The Entries and some Taiko Drummers. Plus DJ sets from Katrina of the Pastels, Dep from Monorail, Simon from Lucky Luke, What's more, there's a zine stall, a food and book swap and a raffle, featuring prizes donated by Alisdair Roberts, The Pastels, Euros Childs and many more good people.

It all kicks off today at 3pm. Sorry we didn't post this sooner, we're useless disorganised mooks. Should be a great day. Photos and stories to follow.
