Har Mar Superstar, The Kitchen and The Witnesses A sublime mix of the sleazy. greasy and electronically whee/y. Har Mar (pictured) does the bump'n'grind Prince thing. attempting to prove that chubby. sweaty. balding, moustachioed lads in tracksuits can give the laydees ‘what they need' if they'd only submit to their unsubtle advances. Go boy! The Kitchen are an altogether less cabaret proposmon Mr and Mrs Amanda 'Bis' McKinnon in scuzzy electro punk mode. King Tut's. Glasgow, Fri 72 Sep.

Willard Grant Conspiracy Not so much a band. more a loose grouping of American musicians who weave a dense blanket of country sounds tied up in strands of drama and black humour. See preview. Barf/y, Glasgow, Fri 5 Sep. Venue. Edinburgh, Sat 6 Sep.

Franz Ferdinand More youthful. black-clad men furthering the cliche that Glaswegians make the best Slightly weird. totally inspired guitar pop in all these fine islands. See preView. Optimo, Sub Club. G/asgow. Sun 7 Sep.

Spiritualized Jason Pierce is messing With our heads again. His new album. Amazrng Grace. is another blissful stagger through the Joys of rock‘n'roll hedonism. See feature. Ligurd Room, Edinburgh. Thu 17 Sep.

Kelly Rowland Her UbIQUlIOUS megalith bandmate Beyonce-zilla may be overshadowing her as she trounces the charts with her ferocious pop hooks but Kelly is the cuter. more senSitive one from Destiny's Child and can still do sugary R88 licks till the sweet shop closes. C/yde Auditorium, Glasgow, Sat 13 Sep,

Peaches After the onslaught of her kindred spirit Har Mar Superstar days earlier, will Glasgow be able to survive another evening of sexually- charged. electro rock? We can but wait and see. See preview. Arches. Glasgow, Tue 76 Sep.
