The Sounds of Sandy's series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free.

Latest revision as of 20:33, 13 April 2020

STAR has had many interactions with musicians since its creation, from brief interviews when passing by a festival, to gigs hosted in St Andrews.

Gigs

Sounds of Sandy's

The Sounds of Sandy's series began in September 2019. The concept was to invite a Scottish band to St Andrews to perform in Sandy's Bar, every Saturday night of the semester. To fund this, the Director of Events and Services allocated funds left over for the recently collapsed Music is Love subcommittee. This allowed STAR to spend an average of around £100 on each Saturday night. Entry was always free.

Whilst most of the events were very well-received by the student population, from the organisers' perspective, the event appeared to be cursed: bands would often drop out days before the event due to ill health, and more than one band had a falling out with Union security.

Date Band Notes
21st September 2019 The Kundalini Genie Most of the band was unfortunately banned from the Union soon after their set had finished. starTV produced a video of the event.
28th September 2019 Messed Up Youth Jazzworks had mistakenly double-booked their drum kit. Fortunately the other event finished around the same time that STAR's gig was due to start, so there was only a small delay, despite the high levels of stress.
5th October 2019 SLIX, Odd Tsar Slix were unfortunately removed from the Union by security before they could begin their set. Confusion ensued soon after Odd Tsar finished their opening set. Odd Tsar then saved the day by playing another set.
26th October 2019 Sofa Time, Marine Anthropology Sofa Time was a late addition after The Acid Club's singer was involved in a car crash a few days before the event.
2nd November 2019 Hip Priest Another band had to pull out a few days before the event.
9th November 2019 AKA Prince, John Kite
23rd November 2019 Middle Class Guilt, The Runaway Models, The Acid Club Middle Class Guilt's drummer broke his collarbone the night before the gig, but they managed to find someone to fill in.
8th February 2020 CRYSTAL, Gallus
15th February 2020 Messed Up Youth, Post Ironic State
