Amazing

Teenage Fanclub still sound as good as they ever have - great tunes, great songs and vocals spot on

Teenage Fanclub, Birmingham Town Hall, Birmingham - 14th November 2023

A glorious career retrospective

With a back catalogue this good the devoted were always going to be delighted. At times the band seemed a little under rehearsed and ramshackle but with lashings of wit and charm the entire room soon succumbed to the infectious mood. Miraculously, this was wonderfully maintained over the three day stretch, providing a worthy swan song for the departing Gerry Love.

Ain't That Enough

Teenage Fanclub are the authentic sound of indie. Their jangly guitar sound would pre-empt the birth of Britpop and served as a template for the sound of the 90's and beyond.

The Glaswegian band was formed in 1989 by songwriter Norman Blake, and the original line up included band members Raymond McGinley (vocals, lead guitar) and Gerard Love (vocals, bass). Together, they quickly rose to prominence as part of the C86 scene, and released seminal debut record A Catholic Education. They then signed to iconic indie label Creation Records before moving into their golden period, which saw the release of albums The King, Bandwagonesque, Thirteen, Grand Prix and Songs from Northern Britain - their highest charting record to date which include hit single "Ain't That Enough".

Their enduring appeal has continued to grow since the turn of the millennium, seeing the release of a further five Top-40 albums including Endless Arcade which dropped in 2021.

Artist Bio

Teenage Fanclub are the embodiment of indie cool. Their songs range from laid out mellow to scuzzed out distorted chaos. Having emerged from the Glaswegian C86 scene at the end of the Eighties, the band have gone from cult heroes to best sellers without ever losing what makes them unique and were regarded by Kurt Cobain as “the best band in the world”.

Their debut album A Catholic Education was released in 1990 by Paperhouse Records. It introduced the world to their laidback vocal harmonies and lofi guitar style.

They were promptly snapped up by Creation Records. Ran by Alan Mcgee, it was the ultimate indie label at the time having played host to similar noise rock such as shoegaze heroes My Bloody Valentine, Jesus And The Mary Chain and the tripped out Primal Scream.

1991 saw the band release two albums under Creation. The King was produced by Don Fleming. He purposefully pushed the band to improvise greatly resulting in a spontaneous and gloriously shambolic album. Ironically, it was recorded in the studio time left over that had allocated for the another album but was released first. It was originally meant to be a release of 1000 at a cut price to fans, Creation went ahead and pressed 20,000 and sold them for full price.

Bandwagonesque was released later in the year, despite being recorded first, and thrilled fans and critics alike. It shot the band to Number 22 in the Charts and famously was voted 1991 Album Of The Year in Spin magazine, beating Nirvana’s Nevermind.

Despite being absolute icons of true indie music, the band have continued to enjoy continued mainstream success with seven of their ten studio albums having entered the Top Forty UK album charts, including their latest release Shadows (2010), including Thirteen (1993) charting at Number 14, Grand Prix (1995) charting at Number 7 and the ironically titled Songs From Northern Britain (1997) which peaked at Number 3.
