Where does the time go? Playing our first show in nearly six years tonight at the Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh. Excellent support from L.T. Leif and The Cords. Can't wait... www.432presents.com/events/2025-...

27 years ago today but both bands playing either @glasgoespop.bsky.social or Preston Pop this summer. @tufflifeboogie.bsky.social 🎵 National Park - La Solara

A plea to companies still using Spotify to create playlists: please stop. Use alternatives.

Spotify is a horrible platform in so many ways. People should consider if they're ok using it. We use Tidal in the shop for streaming and are really happy with it. Some of the staff use Qobuz at home. Spotify sounds terrible and their ethics are disgusting.

Really looking forward to playing this! Tickets on sale Friday

Gig announcement! We're coming back to Glasgow on 11th Oct!

Come To The Dance (while you still can). There are a few tickets left for The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh on July 6th. This is our first show in way too long but we've been slowly getting back into the zone. Practicing hard. 432presents.seetickets.com/event/the-pa...

It’s over for y’all when we get one of these for @tylerwilcox.bsky.social

Autocamper are playing Preston Pop Fest this August along with Pastels guitarist @johnhogarty.bsky.social 's great band National Park. Any chance of a share with your followers?

Very happy to announce three summer shows. We won't be touring this year - maybe the odd other one, who knows. Tix go on sale on Friday morning at 10am BST for Edinburgh and Newcastle. Glas-Goes Pop is already sold out. 432presents.seetickets.com/event/the-pa... www.seetickets.com/event/the-pa...

Dinosaur Jr. at the Barrowlands last night, always brilliant

We are utterly dismayed by this news. The loss of ancient woodland to a development anywhere is shameful. To see it destroyed in a National Park beggars belief. This proposal contravenes multiple regulations and sparked vast opposition locally and nationally. 🧵 1/2 👉 buff.ly/OIP5tbf

Playing with National Park on the Sunday 10th August at Preston Pop Fest. Short clip from our gigs last year with Gerard Love:

Happy to say we're playing live again in 2025. Maybe not too many shows this time round but looking forward to it. Thanks @glasgoespop.bsky.social for forcing us to take a look at ourselves. Tickets here... wegottickets.com/f/13606

Voila! The news you have been waiting for - single day splits! Can you believe all of this absolute goodness? 🤩 For those who sadly cannot make the whole weekend, single day tickets will go on sale Friday at 10am! ➡️ Weekend tickets are also running low. We sell out every year. Do not miss out!!

Streaming is broken cause Spotify was designed not to pay artists dadadrummer.substack.com/p/spotify-is...

Ancient clip of National Park playing Manchester in 1999. Band lineup: Simon Shaw, Ali Roberts, Me, Michael McGaughrin

First @thepastels.bsky.social gig in a few years at the lovely Glas-Goes Pop festival

It's true, we're playing. No big deal about no filming other than we want it to be in the moment rather than through a phone. Looking forward to it.

Was my window view for the ‘90s.

Simon Joyner, The Only Living Boy In Omaha, in Glasgow, Monday night.

This record totally blew my mind when I bought it back in 2000 and it's still pretty much the best thing I've ever heard. #weekendsingles

It’s 10 years this year since I resurrected Glass Records, firstly as Glass Redux and then Glass Modern. I was 60 years old, just a kid with a crazy dream to relive the glory days, revisit some old music, and make some new. So far it’s been alright @glassmodernr.bsky.social @thepastels.bsky.social

I also like @thepastels.bsky.social’s version of “Hold Yr Terror Close”: youtu.be/y0_Vv2MAcfc?...

Another seasonal song for you from the Xmas album. Available in @monorail_music https://buff.ly/4fdSf3a #Christmasmusic

Can totally recommend @mjohnhenry.bsky.social for guitar tech/setup etc. Just had a nice night playing this guitar he upgraded pickups/adjusted setup.

Some things are still thrilling after all these years. The Jesus and Mary Chain at Barrowlands last night

We miss a lot of occasions but we do have a November song. From our Slow Summits, this is Kicking Leaves. Arrangement by Craig Armstrong, video by Blair Young, music by us. Our aim was try to make something that feels somehow permanent. Before us, after us, with us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv0K...

Picture from the end of an era. Playing guitar at the second to last Clouds gig, LSE, London, 1988.

Psyched to announce my next book, Volcanic Tongue: A Time Travelling Evangelist’s Guide To Late-Twentieth-Century Underground Music, coming March 2025 from @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social Pre-order: geni.us/VolcanicTongue
