In Tarot, the number 13 represents Death. After a long and arduous journey to mental health, McCulloch’s recent diagnosis of complex ADHD has brought enlightenment and change 13SCRƐAM is his way of marking his own, metaphorical death, and a subsequent cathartic, reimagining of self, now he finally knows who he really is. It’s an honour to bring this vision to life, this feels exciting, because it feels right. Bringing a ton of charisma, talent, and prowess to 13SCRƐAM, Adam Bam Bam McNaughton also brings with him a touch, of the Avant Garde. Having spent many years looking for a band that allows him the freedom to create, explore and express himself as a drummer, musician and performer.

ELVANA: ELVIS FRONTED NIRVANA - EDINBURGH - CORN EXCHANGE

Nov 7ELVANA - THE WORLD'S FINEST ELVIS FRONTED TRIBUTE TO NIRVANA! From somewhere deep in the bowels of Disgraceland, the King of Rock & Roll steps out of the afterlife, plugs in, and takes the mic for the band that changed the ’90s forever. Elvis fronts Nirvana. No compromise. Just pure, electrified chaos. Blending the swagger of rockabilly with the raw punch of grunge, Elvana rips through Nirvana’s catalogue while smashing it together with the finest moments of Elvis Presley’s legacy. Expect overdriven riffs, hip-shaking grooves, loud guitars, louder screams, and the kind of mash-ups that feel wrong until they feel absolutely perfect. It smells like cheeseburgers and teen spirit, daddy-o. Described as “Bafflingly Brilliant” by The Guardian, “Absolutely f**king epic” by NME, and “The only band worth getting excited about this year” by Vice, Elvana have built a reputation as one of the wildest live experiences on the planet. Even Billy Idol joked that if Elvis were still around, he’d probably be covering Nirvana anyway. Two icons. One stage. Zero rules. If you haven’t seen Elvana yet, you’re missing out.If you have, you already know… and you’re probably checking tour dates right now. Stupid and contagious. In the absolute best way. 🎸🔥👑 Age Restrictions: 8+ Only, Under 14s accompanied by an adult = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 🎸 ELVANA VIP MEET & GREET – START TIME 5PM 🎤 Elvana and The King are beyond thrilled to announce that, for the first time EVER, we’ll be offering exclusive VIP Meet & Greet experiences at selected dates.
