Temples

Temples play King Tut's Wah Wah Hut on Saturday 14 November, with the show starting at 7:30pm. It's a Glasgow date presented by DF Concerts.

If you've followed them since the start, you'll know them as a psychedelic rock quartet from Kettering, England. They first made a name for themselves with their 2014 debut Sun Structures, a record that put them at the front of the British neo-psychedelia revival. Over the last decade, the band has moved on from the vintage 1960s aesthetics of those early days, evolving into a more expansive, experimental outfit.

Their most recent work shows where they're heading. Their fourth album, Exotico (2023), was produced by Sean Ono Lennon and earned critical acclaim. This June, they released their fifth studio album, BLISS, which ventures into electronic territory while staying true to the band's core DNA. It blends the euphoric, melancholic melodies of late-90s dance music with psych-tinged riffs and loops, so the set should pull from both their guitar-led roots and this newer, more dance-inflected sound.

On stage, the line-up is James Bagshaw on vocals and guitar, Thomas Walmsley on bass, Adam Smith on keyboards and guitar, and Rens Ottink on drums. The show is at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, 272a St Vincent Street, Glasgow G2 5RL, on Saturday 14 November, starting at 7:30pm.
