THE madness of T In The Park might be over, but there’s still plenty of good gigs out there.

For the past several years King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut has offered a platform for emerging Scottish bands, with its Summer Nights series of gigs, and its winter counterpart, New Year’s Revolution.

Each night sees three or four Scottish acts take to the stage, with a variety of styles on show, from pop and rock to hip-hop and acoustic singer-songwriters, and bands who‘ve previously played the showcases include Vigo Thieves, Admiral Fallow and the LaFontaines .

Hoping to follow in their footsteps this summer will be more than 50 acts, who’ll be appearing on the Tut’s stage from tonight ( July 16) through until Thursday July 30 (there’s a couple of non Summer Nights show in-between, too), with Perth alt rockers We Came By Wolves kicking it all off this evening.

DJ sets and extra performances in the bar afterwards are promised as well, and here’s just a few of the other acts it’s worth trying to catch…

Colonel Mustard and the Dijon Five, Saturday July 18

The funk-fuelled Glasgow outfit have previously delivered a onstage exorcism of a bloke who looked like Harry Styles, trust games where their singer relies on someone catching him, and a whole host of daftness. They’ve also got some great good-time tunes that tap into the likes of the Happy Mondays and Alabama 3 while dropping in anything from reggae to country on top, and they’ll launch punningly titled EP These Are Not The Drugs (You Are Looking For) at this one.

Coastlines, Sunday July 19

Energetic quintet who rattle through poppy rock. Singer Ashley Watterson’s vocal calls to mind the likes of Paramore, and there’s a lyrical knack for sticking it to an unfortunate ex-boyfriend, too. They’re opening up on a varied night headlined by Satellite Tears.

Great Cop, Monday July 20

Gigantic sounding punk band from Glasgow. Last year’s Stay Human EP had plenty of bite and snarl, but with some cracking hooks in there as well. They’ve already supported many a touring act, and the turbo-charged tones of Vacancy and Quarantine deserve to earn them recognition in their own right. An album is currently being worked on.

Made As Mannequins, Thursday July 23

Based in Glasgow but with members from around Scotland, Made As Mannequins seem suited for summer sing-a-longs. Their jittery and jangly indie is dance floor-friendly to the core, and the likes of past singles Am I Alive and Hawaii have cheerful enthusiasm in spades. Plans are afoot for another EP later this year.

Charlotte Brimner, Friday July 24

Dundonian songstress who used to go under the name Be Charlotte and is fresh from appearing at the T Break stage at Strahallan Castle last weekend. She uses loops to beef up her sound, possesses a rapid-fire vocal delivery and has a keen ear for a melody, while her tune Face was recently remixed by rappers Hector Bizerk.

Ocean House, Sunday, July 26

Hard-hitting yet catchy metal from the Glasgow group, who play on one of the heaviest bills of the whole summer event. Last year saw the band bring out their Escape EP, while 2015 has seen the release of their Shadows single. All are suitably hefty, with thunderous riffs and striking vocals aplenty.

Subkoncious and A-Macc, Wednesday July 29

One of Glasgow’s most promising hip-hop acts headline the penultimate night of the festival, and one that shines a spotlight on Scottish rap, which has flourished in recent years. The duo’s recent single Crosses combined snappy, brutally emotive wordplay with a remix of Plan B’s Cast A Light , and the mainstream could beckon in years to come. Motherwell rap-rockers the LaFontaines will DJ afterwards.

Summer Nights, King Tuts, tonight until Thursday July 30. Tickets £7 each night, doors 8.30pm.
