All the latest news from Avalanche Records Edinburgh
Sad to see Pure Groove closing down their website today after the shop closed last year. Sure their only stocking 100 items in their shop a couple of years ago was a bit crazy but they did great in-stores and Simon who I met a few times as he is originally from Glasgow always came […]
I’ve been asked by customers about this and to be honest I’m not sure what the best thing to do is. You will understand I’m not too keen on albums being downloaded at the expense of shop sales. If you buy a CD from Avalanche there is a very good chance it will be from PIAS […]
We now have tickets for the gig which are very reasonably priced at £10 with a 60p+VAT booking fee. Support comes from Eagleowl, Woodpigeon and Neil from Meursault. Also two different designs of t-shirt, tote bags and badges will be available. Unconfirmed rumours of mugs. The white and black versions of the album on vinyl should […]
After being in on Sunday for the in-stores from Rachel Sermanni and Withered Hand I’ve been working at home today and in between various dull tasks have been checking out a backlog of bands recommended to me/mentioned on the radio/read about.

Scotland’s leading music social club, Born To Be Wide, is to host a special celebration of Edinburgh’s music scene with live previews by local bands […]
Funnily enough this was not the headline in the media as ERA (Entertainment Retailers Association) announced their analysis of the Official Chart Company’s figures for the first six months of the year. With Radiohead at number one with 20,771 sales and Elbow (only available directly from the record company) at 5 it’s not good news […]
Sorry but we don’t have any tickets. We have always supported Oxjam selling their CDs at no profit to ourselves and selling tickets without a booking fee but it seems this year they have decided to use WeGotTickets who are donating 50% of their fee after tax. So please don’t ask any more for tickets […]
