Arab Strap return! Reconvened for a triptych of 20th Anniversary performances (now with an additional Glasgow show due to overwhelming demand) and with this stupendous Miaoux Miaoux-helmed re-working of their debut single, now entitled 'The First Big Weekend of 2016'.
Due to overwhelming demand, Arab Strap have added a fourth date to their 20th birthday celebrations this year; a second night at Glasgow's legendary Barrowland Ballroom. This final festivity, which will take place on October 16th 2016, was added after tickets for the first Barrowlands night sold out in 40 minutes.
"To be honest, I thought we'd do alright in Glasgow," says Aidan Moffat, "But we were all shocked at just how quickly the tickets went. And we've got nothing else planned, so we thought we'd better make sure everyone who wants to see us gets a chance."
Thanks to Blair, Beth and everyone at Forest of Black for editing this video from archive footage and film shot throughout the band's ten years of tears (1996 - 2006).
