THURSDAY ONLY - LuckyMe are curating an exhibition of new work by the Glasgow School of Art Visual Communication Department responding to the title of Hinterland and Glasgow. Animation and print works will be projected at the Sub Club whilst loud live music and the smell of real soul food ring out.

BOTH DAYS - Recoat Gallery - REKOR and SYRKUS will be creating one-off, large-scale pieces of spray-painted artwork for each of the evening venues.

BOTH DAYS - Jenny Soep - Hinterland’s featured documentary drawer specialises in drawing original alternative musicians during their performance and has drawn from the likes of Bjork, Sigur Ros, Bonnie Prince Billy, Jeffrey Lewis, Arab Strap, Mogwai, Union of Knives, De Rosa, and a whole load of others.

CHANGES TO SCHEDULE:

Bad News: Unfortunately due to their drummer having a "broken ankle" DEROSA have cancelled all their forthcoming shows including their opening slot at Hinterland on Thursday.

Bad News: COLORAMA have unfortunately cancelled their show at The Flying Duck on Friday due to their drummer having recurring back problems. They said "We have been really looking forward for months to playing Glasgow for the first time. But this is an unavoidable situation for us and we regret any inconvenience this has caused"

What does this tell you about drumming as an occupation kiddies?

More Bad News: EUROPEAN UNION have cancelled their Hinterland show at Stereo for "personal reasons"

However it's not all bad. It just means we are giving you two chances to catch some of the bands who are playing on Friday as well, first up:

Good News: THESE MONSTERS have risen to the challenge and will now be opening The Arches on Thursday

More Good News: Main support to The Fall on Thursday night will be FOXFACE
