  Here at Pin Up Nights we are really quite anti-revival, and we made the point forcefully in the interview with The List prior to Game Over.  We have always said that if we ever do another party it would be in a venue other than Pin Ups final resting place, The Flying Duck, and under another …

MY BLOODY VALENTINE GIG REVIEW (by Jacob Rees-Mogg) I was most delighted to be approached by my good friends at Pin Up Nights to investigate the environmental and social effects of the My Bloody Valentine “gig” at Glasgow’s grisly Barrowlands. It sems that My Bloody Valentine were infamous in their early 90s heyday for performing …

It’s time for another trip into the Pin Ups vaults, with a fun fanzine article from 2006!             Make your party go with a swing by experimenting with the favourite drinks of Coronation Street stars Mike Baldwin & Ken Barlow! Keen wine buffs, the lads like nothing better than discussing …

This was one of the very best nights of our monthly tenure at the Woodside Social Club, which lasted from August 2005 to August 2007.  Yours truly didn’t actually get to the Woody until about midnight (as our Super Furry Guest DJs Guto and Bunf wanted to “chill out”) which meant I dodged Furrymania on …

This post is partly borne out of the interview we did with Glasgow Podcart in March and just before Game Over, in which we discussed our approach to gig promoting.  You maybe missed it in the blizzard of Game Over hype, so click here if you wish to read tales of arguments with managers of Stereo, Canadian …

(To celebrate the launch of the new James Bond movie, here’s a wee story we wrote back in 2007.  It was originally published in the Pin Ups Fanzine which we handed out on the door at our parties.) Hi it’s Gary Stringer here, formerly lead singer of 90s band Reef. Longterm readers of the Pin …
