LA FETICHE are delighted to present Part 1 of our new Super 8 film documenting our PreSpring 26 Artist Series. The film was shot across Glasgow’s most iconic venues and features some of our favourite creatives integral to the city’s vast and eclectic music scene.
Shot by Glasgow based photographer Laura Meek and set to Lungleg single ‘Girls’, this film aims to capture the vibrancy of Glasgow’s music scene, further highlighted by LA FETICHE’s signature, colourful collection.

This week I’m joined by author and documentary filmmaker @grantmcpheefilm , who directed three amazing films about the Scottish underground music scenes (Big Gold Dream, The Glasgow School, Teenage Superstars).
We discuss the differences between writing his book Postcards From Scotland and making these films, the UK press and their relationships with Scottish bands, the turmoil at the early Jesus & Mary Chain shows, both Postcard & Fast Product Records influencing Factory & Rough Trade records, how The Bay City Rollers were a massive influence on the early indie music scene, the genesis and integrity of Teenage Fanclub, early Scottish post-punk bands Josef K and Scars, choosing Kim Deal of The Breeders & Robert Foster of The Go-Betweens to narrate the films, the stress of making documentaries, the supportiveness of the Scottish music scenes, The Vaselines & Captain America being massive influences on (and friends) of Nirvana, BMX Bandits, Orange Juice and Soup Dragons changing their sounds, Stephen Pastel’s ears getting sunburned after a haircut and more!
So let’s start a musical riot in under 12 minutes on this week’s revolutions per movie!
The Vaselines' "Dying For It" (1988) is pure cheeky Scottish indie-pop that earned the adoration of Kurt Cobain. Check out the jangly, charming, and mischievous "Molly's Lips." Super-rare Mayking test pressing LP with fold-over printer's proof sleeve. A must for deep collectors. Find it at our Shoreditch shop.
🚨 NEW MEMBER ALERT 🚨
We are beyond thrilled to welcome Frances McKee, co-founder of The Vaselines, Suckle, and one of Scotland’s most iconic voices, into the Hen Hoose collective.
A fearless songwriter and performer, Frances brings decades of creativity and influence into the collective.
Her music has influenced generations (Kurt Cobain once called The Vaselines his “favourite songwriters in the whole world”), and now she’s bringing her creativity to Hen Hoose.
We can’t wait to make some noise together 💪💜
HENergy level = LEGEND.
Please join us in giving the warmest Hen Hoose welcome to Frances McKee.
The Vaselines play PJ Molloys, Dunfermline on Saturday 30 August.
Formed in 1986, Glasgow's The Vaselines were one of a core group of artists who founded the Scottish post-rock sound in the late eighties and early nineties. Described by Kurt Cobain as his 'most favourite songwriters in the whole world', The Vaselines gained cult-status for their Nirvana-covered tracks Son Of A Gun, Molly's Lips and Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam.
Support from the excellent Alice Faye.
