Critic's choice - June 19

Goose

Thu, 7pm, Classic Grand, 18 Jamaica St, Glasgow, £6 (£7 on the door), 0141 847 0504

While retaining their usual low profile, the Belgians are becoming increasingly adept at delivering finely honed synth-rock acts to the grateful wider world - bands with the ability to fuse dance-inspired electronic beats and distorted instrumentation together, with surprising success. Slowly building up a fanbase since the release of debut album Bring It On through scintillating live shows, the quartet delve into the same sort of slick genre side-stepping as fellow countrymen Soulwax. As a pre-festival warm-up performance, tonight should be good both for Goose and for a gander.
