Championing guitar music all over the UK, This Feeling brings The Roques, th13ves, Luna the Professor and headliners, The Good Arms, to Dundee's The Beat Generator on Friday 10th May. With a line up as strong as this it’s easy to see why the likes of Noel Gallagher and Sergio Pizzorno are full of praise for this promotor who claims to provide the ‘UK’s most rock and roll night out’. Check out my introduction to the line up below and buy your tickets whilst you can!
The Roques
The Roques are a popular dark indie band based in Dundee who have branched out into venues throughout the country gaining popularity as they go. Driving bass lines and solid drum beats sit below the sometimes soaring, sometimes growling guitar riffs. This is a perfect combination for a huge live performance in their hometown. Latest single ‘Fear Me’ will be a highlight; it seems to encapsulate everything that the band are going for in 2019, drawing from the likes of The Last Shadow Puppets and The Blinders to provide catchy melodic vocal lines and anthemic choruses. Expect a big show from these lads. Listen here.
th13ves
Next on the line-up is another group of Dundonians who, even if you haven’t heard them before, will have you singing along with their catchy choruses and with a tight live performance. I’d get some homework in anyway and have a listen to debut single ‘Dreamers’ and latest offering ‘Angel’. Once should do it; they are hook-ridden, hymnal indie pop beasts. Quite rightly citing Embrace and Noel Gallagher as song writing influences, the band are an exciting prospect looking to really take off and no doubt will see this gig as a showcase for their talent.

Luna The Professor
This four piece from Wishaw are making a name for being the future stars of Scottish guitar music as their stock continues to rise fast. Having sold out gigs in the famous King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and a very recent performance in St Luke’s with Ignite Scotland, they are a band with big things on their horizon. Another set of anthemic indie rock songs on the menu here with tunes like their latest single ‘You’ sure to leave gig goers satisfied. Expect tight harmonies, snarling bass lines and thumping rhythmic beats in the vain of the likes of Catfish and the Bottlemen and Vistas. Watch the video for 'You' here.
The Good Arms
When I first heard of this band their name made my mind wander to the Frightened Rabbit tune ‘Good Arms vs. Bad Arms’ and I half expected a genre in a similar vain to that song. That was my mistake however, and my complacency almost had me blown through the back wall of King Tuts when The Good Arms blasted out their first song. They are an audacious and infectious band, with the front man Joseph Sheridan channelling Mick Jagger and providing a vessel for the spirit of rock and roll. Dramatic, but so are they. Massive riffs and belting urgency, The Good Arms are a band with ambition and swagger not to be missed. Check out latest single ‘Crib Tonight’.
