Falkirk purveyors of punk and sonic warriors against the establishment and its money grabbing minions are celebrating their 15th birthday as a band this month with a right knees up in the town centre’s oasis for live music.

In June The Media Whores – who combine catchy tunes and an actual social conscience – rocked The Depot for their first home town gig in almost two years and now on Saturday, August 19 they return to Falkirk to celebrate their 15th birthday with a special show at Behind the Wall.

Star guest for the BTW dust up is performing punk poet Attila the Stockbroker – who is performing his first ever Falkirk gig in his 40-year career.

Currently on his Left Wing Economic Establishment Tour he will be joined by fellow support acts Those Thieving Men from Bo’ness and Falkirk’s own troubadour Calum Baird – who will also be sitting in on a few numbers with Attila.

A Media Whores spokesbloke said: “No presents for our 15th birthday please – just buy a ticket for the gig and come along.”

Music lovers can buy themselves a present, however, and secure a copy – digital or touchable – of the band’s latest album A Light In A Dark Place.

Following the BTW barnburner, The Media Whores will be heading north to Inverness to play the Tooth and Claw on Saturday, August 26 with fellow Bairns Trumpton Riot.

Keep your eye on the bands Facebook page for all news and information and orders.

Doors for the BTW gig open at 7pm.
