Spaceships Over Glasgow Mogwai Mayhem And Misspent Youth

Binding: Paperback
Description: Born the son of Scotland's last telescope - maker Stuart Braithwaite was perhaps always destined for a life of psychedelic adventuring on the furthest frontiers of noise in Mogwai one of the best loved and most ground - breaking post - rock bands of the past three decades. Modestly delinquent at school Stuart developed an early appetite for 'alternative music in what might arguably be described as its halcyon days the late '80s. Discovering bands like Sonic Youth My Bloody Valentine and Jesus and Mary Chain and attending seminal gigs (often incongruously incognito as a young girl with long hair to compensate for his babyface features) by The Cure and Nirvana Stuart compensated for his indifference to school work with a dedication to rock and roll and of course the fledgling hedonism that comes with it. Spaceships Over Glasgow is a love song to live rock and roll; to the passionate abandon we've all felt in the crowd (and some of us if lucky enough from the stage) at a truly incendiary gig. It is also the story of a life lived on the edge; of the high - times and hazardous pit - stops of international touring with a band of misfits and miscreants.
