Divine Schism: Sacred Paws + Widget + Junk Whale

Divine Schism welcome Sacred Paws to town to celebrate their new album ‘Jump Into Life’, out on 28th March after a five year hiatus! We're delighetd that Widget and Junk Whales are playing too - what a riotious bill!

When Sacred Paws broke through with their debut record they did so with firm intent and rousing success. The duo of Ray Aggs (Trash Kit, Shopping) and Eilidh Rodgers (Golden Grrrls) took their roots in the punk world and wound it together with myriad influences, from Afrobeat, through pop and post-punk, to create a glorious and unique hybrid. ‘Strike A Match’, the band’s urgent and infectious first offering, was released on Mogwai’s Rock Action label in 2017 and won the prestigious Scottish Album of the Year Award that same year. That success was quickly capitalised on with another full-length effort, the band’s second LP ‘Run Around The Sun’, which was released in 2019. More than five years have now passed since that release, and while Sacred Paws’ absence wasn’t necessarily deliberate it was certainly intentional - Ray and Eilidh deciding that rather than force the work, they would take as long as they felt they needed to produce the album they knew they were capable of!

All ages (u14s with an adult) and wheelchair accessible show at the Little Bully!
