Sorry Darling: from New York to Fife – and band has two gigs in same day
It’s not often that a band from New York City performs in Fife but they are pulling out the stops to play there twice in one day.
Sorry Darling headline Leslie Town Hall on Saturday, October 3, with support from local bands Toy Hospital and Got Got Need. Advance tickets £7 from leslietownhall.com or £10 on the door.
Earlier on Saturday in Glenrothes, Sorry Darling will be joined by Toy Hospital for an in-store performance at KCC Vinyl in the Kingdom Centre. The event is free entry, and takes place between noon and 2:00pm.
Sorry Darling are touring the UK in support of their new EP, Mirrors, led by the powerful single 'Like You'.
Musically, the band cites The Pretenders, Pat Benatar, Letters to Cleo, The Beths, and Deep Sea Diver as influences, landing somewhere between alt-rock and hooky power pop built on heavy guitars and lyrics that aim to say something real.
They are joined on their Scottish dates by Toy Hospital, who blend the heartfelt, world-weary songwriting of punk and emo music with the crushing sonic sensibilities that only the progeny of Jesus and the Mary Chain and other Scottish noise pop merchants could provide.
This show is especially poignant for Sorry Darling singer, Stephen Bailey as one of the biggest Stuart Adamson fans in America - Th Skids actually played Leslie Town Hall in the winter of 1977.
