Part 2 of our Sick Kids Sunday series (watch Part 1) sees 2 bands from Glasgow playing songs for us in the near dark of the upstairs bar in the GRV. Both Sparrow and the Workshop and WOODENBOX with a Fistful of Fivers have an upbeat raucous Americana feel which lends itself to the stripped down acoustic sessions as well as it does to their much louder on stage performances.
Sparrow and the Workshop are Jill, Gregor and Nick, a multicultural group of musicians who’ve been together for a little over two years. They’re currently on a long tour supporting Idlewild. And they’re awesome. First track “You’ve Got It All” is the lilting opener from their mini album ‘Into The Wild’. “Medal Around Your Neck” is a track from their forthcoming album ‘Crystal Falls’, due out 12th April 2010.
The incredibly-monikered WOODENBOX with a Fistful of Fivers have a more of a bar room, deep South Americana feel with plenty of brass. The two tracks here are “Draw A Line” from their forthcoming album “Home and the Wildhunt”and self-released first single “Twisted Mile”.
