HALF MY HEART BEATS
Saturday 11th July

Half My Heart Beats is an indiepop club night in Glasgow that started in September 2008. We (Lynsey and Colin) created the club because we wanted somewhere to go to hear the music we love, and to share it with people who feel the same way. We play current and classic indiepop, but you'll also hear '60s girl groups and anything else we think is a good fit. The list of bands at www.myspace.com/halfmyheartbeats should give you an idea of the kind of bands we're into.
