CLOSE LOBSTERS:

Gig Guide


A very cool fan, Jim Barr sent me a list of gigs and inspired me to make a Gig Guide..
So, if you have any info about Close Lobsters gigs and/or a list of their gigs, send them to me!!!
Thanks Jim Barr!


    Todd,
    ... I have two sets of photos, one from a gig they did at Fury Murrays in Glasgow supporting the Shamen, sometime in 1987 I think, the other also in the January of the same year, supporting the Brilliant Corners at Night Moves in Glasgow. They played down in my home town of Greenock a number of times, and I also seen them elsewhere, I've enclosed a list of the gigs I've seen them at, in the excel file below, it would be interesting to have a definitive gig guide on the site if possible. Since they were local, you often seen members of the band at other gigs in Glasgow and even at the football matches as well, so they were fairly recogniseable certainly in
Scotland in the early days. There was a definite scene which was evolving in Glasgow with the Jesus & Mary Chain, Primal Scream, The Soup Dragons and a host of other bands signed to Creation records in the early days, which meant that there were always great gigs every week..
Cheers,
Jim Barr
