After their well-received performance and sell-out show in 2024, Pretty As PINK return to The Bungalow. Don’t be disappointed, grab your tickets quick on Eventbrite or there may be some on the door from 7.00pm. This is a rescheduled show.
The Longshots are a 7-piece SKA Band, and they play roots SKA. This is their first gig at The Bungalow so get down and give them a big Paisley welcome. It is a free gig and doors open at 1pm, with the band starting at 2pm.
NNE Events have brought back STIPE to The Bungalow. They are the definitive tribute to one of the biggest bands in rock music – R.E.M.
R.E.M. are one of the world’s most enigmatic bands. With a string of peerless albums; one eye on the underground and one eye on the soaring chorus; we will never see their like again. From “The One I Love” through to “The End of the World” and more besides.
Stipe brings you all the top songs from these icons including “Losing My Religion”, and “Man on the Moon” and with all the atmosphere, attitude, emotion, and energy you’d expect. Stipe will provide the same cagey mix of attitude, poetry and idiosyncratic sound built around jangling guitars and hazy vocals of frontman Michael Stipe.
This from the man himself: “These guys are awesome!!” – MICHAEL STIPE – R.E.M. Tickets on the door Saturday night from 7.00pm.
The P90s return with a free entry Sunday show from 1.00pm.
The Tuesday Bungalow Open Stage starts at 7.00pm. If you want to get on stage and jam or play some songs this is for you. The house band will be there to help and full backline available. Free entry. The Bungalow Wednesday Club starts at 2pm with an afternoon of fun from singer John Griffith and the famous quiz that only the best can win a Tunnock’s tea cake.
The monthly Pais/Slay is on Wednesday 8 October. Join October Fist and Klitsune along with two stunning guests: Reese Wetherspoon and Scout Robertson at The Bungalow for a night of performances and outrageous comedy.
