An alternative Edinburgh Festival?

Well folks... Ive gone and fallen in with a shady crowd and no mistake! The plucky souls at Edinburghs rather fabby looking EdRush multi arts festival now count one D. McMysteron among their numbers! Punk rock is now officially highbrow!

The idea is to cram the Reekie with as much indigenous talent as possible for a week in late may. Great idea if you ask me! Check em out at

So now Im putting on a few (2) gigs for it, including the return to the stage of me own humble sci-punk buckaneers Voice Of The Mysterons after 10 (!?) months in the lab. As the sagely and erudite Barry Penguin doth exlaim: "GIT DOON THAR!". Heres the gos...

One for one, according to the universal lore of the playground...

The one in Edinburgh is really gid, cos it was baught by a bunch of mates who seem to run it almost like a hobby.

They're really chilled out and never charge door money for the bands, choosing instead to share 10% of the bars taking for the night equally between whoevers been playing.
