June gigs celebrate two decades since they gathered in Stuart Braithwaite’s parents’ house for first time

Mogwai have confirmed four shows to mark the 20th anniversary of their foundation in June.

They’ll play two shows in Glasgow and two in London almost two decades to the day since they first gathered in mainman Stuart Braithwaite’s parents’ house to rehearse for the first time.

The band launched their eighth album, Rave Tapes, to positive reviews last year. They were followed by an EP of unreleased tracks from the session entitled Music Industry 3 Fitness Industry 1 last month.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on January 30 (Friday).

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
