Sergeant @ The Doghouse, 30 Apr

Yeah, there's a faux Mancunian twang in there, but if it's as fresh as a Scottish glen, then fuck it, who cares?

Shall we take a trip down memory lane'? If it's with Northside, whose baggy D-list anthem asked the question, then the answer's going to be no. But Glenrothes it seems is the perfect place for a re-brewing of the Manchester herb, as they take the bandwagon braze of The Mock Turtles et al, and make it sound, well, quite credible. Yeah, there's a faux Mancunian twang in there, but if it's as fresh as a Scottish glen, then fuck it, who cares? Current single K-Ok is in the process of wowing the mainstream music press, and it seems only a matter of time before Sergeant join Glasvegas with the big boys. With small-fish-big-pond aficionado Alan McGee flying the flag, this Scottish tour could well be the last chance to catch them in their Oasis-at-Tut's phase. Just don't forget your sunhat if you're thinking of swaggering down. [Paul Neeson]
