Scotland's 'T-Break' lineup announced
shadyadie by [redacted] May 8th, 2003
T-Break is an annual 'showcase' (some would say battle-of-the-bands) for new bands in Scotland, giving them the chance to win a place at T In The Park festival in the T-Break tent. Biffy Clyro first made their mark there in 1999, and the lineup for the T-Break gigs this year has been announced tonight.

Bands fighting out for a place at T In The Park's 10th anniversary this year, are as follows:

11 May - Glasgow, King Tut's (doors open at 7.30pm. £4 adv, £5 on door - ditto all Glasgow T-Break gigs)
Hoboken
Alyssa's Wish
The Storm Petrels
The Wow Kafe
Ally Kerr
Kirby

12 May - Glasgow, King Tut's
Amateur Guitar Anti-Heroes
My Legendary Girlfriend
Dead Or American
The Free Radicals
The Cams
The Gems

13 May - Glasgow, King Tut's
The Cherrykicks
Small Enclosed Area
Katy Bar The Door
Julia Thirteen
The Electroluvs

15 May - Glasgow, King Tut's

16 May - Edinburgh, Liquid Rooms (doors open 6.30pm. £4 adv, £5 on door - ditto all Edinburgh T-Break gigs)
Cayto

Turning 13
Sam's Hot Car Lot

17 May - Edinburgh, Liquid Rooms

The Bone Machine
FB Collective

19 May - Edinburgh, Liquid Rooms

Apparently the above is "subject to change".

Out of all those bands, only 12 will get picked to play T in the Park. The rest over the weekend will be hand-picked by DF Concerts.

One of those band, Alyssa's Wish, will be supporting Jarcrew at the DiS gig at the Windmill, London, on June 25th. *plug plug*

DiScuss: Have you played T-Break before? Good experience? Bad? Is it just a glorified battle-of-the-bands? Is it worth it? Do people take it too seriously?
