Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Demented, frantic and ecstatically delivered power-pop-synth-rave. An ungodly combination of Soft Cell, Xiu Xiu, Meat Loaf, AFX and Perfume Genius from the brains behind Glasgow’s peerless Night School records (Molly Nilsson, Ela Orleans, Space Lady etc etc)"

Heidi Contagious presents:
Apostille + Marina Zispin at Exchange basement
+ support TBA
7.30pm
£10 adv
Apostille is a man who's torn through enough soundsystems to know the difference between gesture and meaning. Alongside running his own DIY record label Night School Records, Glasgow native Michael Kasparis has previously made forays into the realm of hardcore punk with his groups Anxiety and The Lowest Form. Throughout all this, his solo electronic venture Apostille has continued to evolve with each twist and turn of the world. What started off as a quest to whip up a mood and force that into a song has steadily become more of a mission in communication.
The third Apostille album, Prisoners Of Love And Hate, is released on Night School on September 22nd.
Synth pop apparitions Bianca Scout and Martyn Reid have been haunting the shores of Newcastle/London since forming Marina Zispin in the summer of 2018.
Together they occupy the infinite twilight space that exists between fantasy and reality. Juxtaposing the sacred and mundane; they transform the selected minutia of their everyday existence into the totems and litanies that comprise their stream of conscious anthems of interdimensional melancholia.
Marina Zispin release their debut 12” on Night School in September 2023.
Unlike many other labels, tied to a more rigorously uniform sound, Night School have been distinct in their concord of variance. Helmed by Glaswegian Michael Kasparis, the records released in their three year existence reflect the singularity of the artists more than any fixed sonic trademark. Yet such an open platform has still assured a sense of character, of something diverse, unpredictable and far from ordinary.
