Sweaty Palms are an energetic four-piece post-punk band from the Southside of Glasgow who admit their music is inspired by drug-fuelled anxiety.

It's the kind of gig unsigned acts are desperate to play, given the esteem in which its organisers are held. The type of event where most groups are on their best behaviour. “It was an honour to be asked to play and we were really up for it – but it turned into a bit of a disaster,” reflects guitar player Ronan Fay with an air of nonchalance. “I spilt booze on my amp and it stopped working about mid-way through...” “You had a bitch fit,” grins vocalist and fellow guitar player Robbie Houston (Boab). “I took Robbie's guitar and we carried on – but we got told it was our last song,” continues Ronan. “So we wanted to go out with a bang. Robbie was stood singing on the drumkit, and I might have encouraged him to come off it. But it couldn't have happened in a more uncouth way; the symbols toppled over, the kick drum went on its head, Robbie landed on our drummer... and the sound engineer battered through the crowd and tried to square up to Robbie. I cowered behind my broken amp and got off scot-free.” “A lot of people came up and shook our hands afterwards. I think they just wanted to see a bit of drama,” adds Robbie.
