5 OF THE BEST

PERFORMANCES BY RICHARD YOUNGS

For Glasgow’s Open House Festival, underground legend Richard Youngs will undertake a three-night residency at a secret venue, concluding with a DJ set of his new electronic material. A mercurial talent who has dabbled in avant- folk, industrial noise, prog- rock and synth-pop, Youngs is a gloriously unpredictable live performer. Here are five of our favourite Youngs happenings:

The Old Angel, Nottingham, 1990

One of Young’s earliest solo gigs (supporting underground crucible the A-Band); he read out 171 used train tickets. ‘It felt like a cool idea’, he reflected in the sleevenotes of the limited edition live album, ‘they seemed to enjoy it’. Instal, The Arches, Glasgow, 2005

A soaring a cappella expansion of ‘Life On A Beam’, the visionary psychedelic hymn which opens his 2006 classic The Naïve Shaman. Sublime. Subcurrents, CCA, Glasgow, 2010

While performing his glorious collection of DIY electro-pop pastorals, Return to the Valley of the Ultrahits, Youngs led a crowd of underground music fans in an unlikely singalong.

The Old Hairdressers, Glasgow, 2012

Three short sets: a vocal and shakuhachi incantation, the playback of some early record- ings, and, most memorably, the live debut of Rotten Masters, his weirdo-punk duo with long-time co-conspirator Andrew Paine. While Youngs barked over an electronic d-beat, Paine coaxed Van Halen wails from an iPhone app, throwing appropriate guitar hero shapes. The Glad Cafe, Glasgow, 2013

As a Christmas gift to Glasgow, Youngs performed his 1988 solo debut Advent on a stage festooned with fairy lights. (Stewart Smith) Youngs plays a secret location (revealed only to ticket holders), Glasgow, Tue 15–Thu 17 Apr. See p16 for Open House info.
