Event information

ARAB STRAP will be performing an intimate concert as a duo at FRETS on Thursday 8th Sept in the Strathaven Hotel. FRETS is a seated event, it'll be an amazing atmosphere having Aidan and Malcolm performing in Strathaven.

Arab Strap started out as an intimate project with home-recorded tapes shared between friends, but after the unexpected success of their inimitable debut single ‘The First Big Weekend’ they quickly found themselves, along with pals Mogwai, as some of the most exciting and cherished music coming out of Scotland. The band’s first gig was recorded live for John Peel, who became an early devotee. The band went from indie record label Chemikal Underground onto the major label Go! Beat and then back again to Chemikal, touring the world and funnelling life’s experiences into a unique concoction of music that explored beauty, sadness, intoxicants, sex, love, and death all rolled into one.
