Glasgow tastemakers Optimo are decamping from their usual stomping ground at the Sub Club for a special all day event. ‘The East End Social, whose mandate is to bring music to the east end of Glasgow, approached us to see if we would be interested in doing a Barrowlands event,’ explains resident Twitch. ‘The idea was to put on a daytime event with a lineup of our choosing featuring artists who tickle our fancy.’
As you would expect, it’s a typically diverse bill reflecting Twitch and Wilkes’ own musical sensibilities. What’s important is quality, not sticking rigidly within specific genres. Headlining is Norwegian nu disco remixer Todd Terje who, despite 15 years as a professional DJ/producer, has recently released his debut album, the aptly titled It’s Album Time. The Barrowland Revue will also mark the first Scottish outing for his full live band playing out his Italo tropicalia meets future beats.
Golden Teacher will also be playing live and, in a departure from the usual Optimo formula, there’ll be several guests behind the turntables. ‘It is ultra-rare that we ever book DJs, as while there are oodles of great DJs out there, there are only a tiny handful who tick all our boxes and we would actually want to listen to,’ explains Twitch of booking Hessle Audio mainman Ben UFO for a dose of house, grime, bass, garage and dubstep. He'll be joined on the decks by Optimo themselves and Tim Sweeney (DFA/Beats in Space). ‘Tim is an old friend and, again, one of a small number of DJs we have booked before and has the Optimo seal of approval. We know he loves Glasgow and thought he'd get a kick out of playing the Barrowlands.’
Twitch and Wilkes take over the Barras for an early doors electronica showcase featuring live sets from Norwegian re-edit master Todd Terje (promoting his debut album) and Glasgow's Golden Teacher, plus Ben UFO, Tim Sweeney and the Optimo DJs.
Trio has been a recurring format in the work of guitarist Pat Metheny, and has invariably induced a creative response to the open textures and responsive interplay of his collaborators. Despite digressions into spikier and more controversial projects with Derek Bailey and Ornette Coleman, the guitarist has built his huge following on a highly sophisticated but readily accessible approach to melodic improvisation, and that is precisely what he serves up here with bassist Christian McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez.
All ten compositions are by the guitarist, including a revisit to ‘The Red One’ (previously recorded in a duo with John Scofield) and a memorial to the New Orleans disaster, ‘Is This America? (Katrina 2005)’. He breaks no new ground in terms of style or approach, but the music is delivered with all of the anticipated technical expertise and improvisational flair.
