It’s easy to forget that less than 10 years ago King Tut’s was one of very few options for small gigs in Glasgow. Back then, its only rivals were Nice ‘N’ Sleazy, Cathouse, 13th Note Cafe and the now-defunct 13th Note Club/Barfly. (There was also Strawberry Fields, but nobody in their right mind would step in there more than once.)

Fast-forward to the present day and a heap of alternatives have sprung up in Glasgow: Stereo, Mono, The Captain’s Rest, Bloc, Flat 0/1, Stairway as well as slightly larger venues in Classic Grand, Oran Mor and ABC2.

King Tut’s still reigns supreme, though. When it comes to how good a gig sounds - to the audience at least – this little outpost on an otherwise nondescript corner of St Vincent Street is untouchable. There’s nothing quite like the clammy anticipation of being at a sell-out show at Tut’s, especially when you realise it’ll be the last time you’ll have the privilege of watching the headliners play to a crowd this small.

If you’re on the lookout for new favourite Scottish bands, you could do much worse than park yourself at King Tut’s New Year’s Revolution, which runs until January 19. Individual bills are grouped into similar genres so if you’re partial to electro, metal, twee, hip hop, experimental, math-rock, acoustic singer-songwriters, avant-garde, emo or just straightforward indie then there’s something to cater for your tastes.

A bit of advice – look out for online ticket bundles being sold by individual acts (search Facebook) as you can bag gems such as Michael Cassidy’s debut EP or Reverieme’s debut album for free. If you’re lazy, just click on the date links below to buy tickets via Ticketmaster.
