Make Model headline Institute gig
Recent EMI signings, Make Model recently made a trip to the Institute to headline a secret & exclusive gig at the Luminaire.
Since the A&R furor surrounding their discovery, and the low key release of their debut single last July, Glasgow 6 piece Make Model have been quietly, but resolutely, setting themselves up as one of the most promising UK acts of 2008. Having spent the past six months hard at work in the studio getting to grip with their collective talents, crafting raw demos into an arsenal of pop thunderstorms, future greatness, nay success, seems eerily ripe for the picking.
Despite their ‘indie’ credentials, widespread appeal, and huge mainstream potential then, Make Model can most certainly NOT be crammed into the usual shoegaze-y, inward-looking, kitchen-sink-drame-esque brackets. Their music is instilled with a sense of belief, frustration and hope - in 6 short months, they’ve developed a vice-like grip on their inherent bent for crafting powerful, intelligent, emotional pop music. With their as yet untitled debut album due early Summer, a hardcore touring schedule ahead of them (including pivotal US showcase SXSW in March), and a snowballing fanbase, 2008 is a Make Model-shaped oyster that will be inevitably prized open. This is one Model you should definitely check.
Make Model headlined an Institute gig at the Luminaire with support from two bands featuring Institute students:
