The Primal Scream frontman s book covers his Glasgow childhood and the events up to the release of 1991 s Screamadelica
Bobby Gillespie has announced his first memoir,
Tenement Kid.
The autobiography is billed as the story of a decade lost to Thatcherism and saved by acid house, and will cover the Primal Scream lead member s childhood in Glasgow as well as his time in the Jesus And Mary Chain, going all the way up to the release of Primal Scream 1991 third album,
Screamadelica, and its subsequent tour. It s structured in four parts. At the beginning of 2020 I wanted to challenge myself creatively and do something I had never done before, Gillespie says of the memoir. I didn t want to write another rock record, I d done plenty of those, so, I decided to write a memoir of my early life and worked on it all through the summer, autumn and winter of 2020 and here it is.

Ka Wow: Koxedo s take on chips and cheese is the next best thing to a night out
Koxedo review Last Friday I was standing in a queue beside a plastic marker on the pavement, waiting at a distance for an order of fried chicken from Ox and Finch’s new pop-up Koxedo. It was quiet in this popular part of the West End. A little too quiet, as my predecessor Diner Tec used to say. The sun was just starting to dip behind the tall tenements on nearby Argyle Street. It was that golden hour where the light seems to bring an extra vibrancy to street scenes. The part of the day when you’d once find an atmosphere of anticipation for shenanigans ahead as folk emerged from offices to meet their friends in familiar corners of bars or restaurants.
