Johnny and the Giros: Music Blog Updates
We are pleased to announce that further blogging about music in Glasgow has caught our attention.
With over 30,000 views of their MySpace page, their web presence is by no means newly formed. Presently an unsigned band in central Scotland, with their music being described as “Alternative / Electro / Indie”, they are releasing a debut single on Friday 4 February in Stereo in Glasgow. Their latest blog post gives further details. In terms of tips for expanding web presence, I would suggest use of relevant tags via the blogging platform, which does currently look nice and professional – tags will expand the site’s size and make it more accessible via search engines. For an example, see what I’ve done at the foot of this blog post, which I shoud add is replicated in the meta data for this post via a WordPress SEO plugin.
Having listened to their sample music, I’d say that Elle Diablo is my favourite piece so far:-
If you can make it to Stereo for the launch of their debut single, please do so.
Music still sounds good in Stereo!
As we approach our debut single launch which will be held in @StereoGlasgow this Friday, 4th Feb it’s apparent that we have been ready for this for some time. There is an eagerness surrounding all 6 of us, if not the lucky bunch of patient fans who are choking to hear the single SY:NC because as some of you already know, we had to postpone the launch due to adverse weather conditions in November, which resulted in a change of venue and more importantly, a change of city.Using a well known Kevin Bridges term, some of you “Edinburgers” out there who were keen to check us out at the original launch venue, Voodoo Rooms, should fear not as we will be heading to our lovely capital during the subsequent tour – we love playing Edinburgh.
So Glasgow it is then – that old chestnut, and you would be nuts to miss out on what will be a truly amazing night with plenty of booze, tunes and merch to buy and potentially a few well known Scottish faces dotted around the room as well.
The night begins at 7 with our special guest playing a special set exclusively for you guys before being followed by Wishaw boys – Vigo Thieves. These lads are sharp and they look pretty sharp too – let’s hope they don’t show us up on the night! And then, when your livers begin to fail and vocal chords begin to crumble and the thought of tomorrow morning’s hangover kicks in and begins the biggest fear-sesh ever . . . We will take to the stage and all that will be forgotten for 45 minutes as we play an extended set with new tracks and new tricks and hopefully enough synth to make you cry and enough strobe to make you die!!. . No. Really. Half the crowd will think Lazer Quest had re-opened and the other half will think they are in an Ultrabeat video! Member them???
The night will be rounded off (or begun) by our aftershow party at Firewater Glasgow where you can meet the band (and their maw’s) fill yer bladders with thick, chunky alcohol and watch as JK slowly slips into his Jagerbomb bubble chopping off another year of his dwindling life-expectancy!
Can’t wait to see you all there

All the best guys,
