Hi all,
Bubblegum has quite a lot going on at the moment: Glasgow Popfest, 2 ep releases and live shows and the development of For Singles Only. I’ll attempt to provide an outline of each and hopefully that will intrigue you enough to search out more details, come along to some of our shows or buy our lovely, shiny cds.
As you are on our mailing list (or a member of Anorak Forum) you get a sneaky peek at the Popfest line up 48 hours before we put the remaining 3 day passes on sale. AND access to the 3 day passes (£20), NOW! Shhhhhh!

The Hardy Boys – Under the Piccadilly Clock ep
This magnificent return to the studio by The Hardy Boys makes it quite clear what all the fuss has been about regarding their back catalogue. These 3 new, glorious songs of knowing, loss and yearning cement their reputation as indie pop inspiration. The ep will be launched on the 3rd of September at Pivo Pivo, Glasgow. With guests Johnny Reb and The Recovery Club.
Tickets can be purchased from

Maple Leaves – ep release 23rd OctoberTheir summery, three-minute, folk-tinged pop songs at T in the Park – described by one newspaper as ‘a massive aural hug’ - went down a storm, provoking a tent invasion by flag-waving Canadians and a subsequent appearance on BBC One.
The ep will be launched on the 23rd of October at Pivo Pivo, Glasgow. Guests (tbc)
