Scottish rock band Patersani reckon they’ll be able to enjoy headlining King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut tomorrow night – after being hit by nerves the first time they topped the bill there.

The group – brothers Craig and Dave Paterson, bassist Colin Orr and drummer Scott Kemp – will play Tut’s to support recent single Something I Can Change.

Although they were happy enough with how Tut’s went last time, the venue’s legendary status hit them just before they took the stage.

“The very first time we headlined Tut’s, and we’d done about 80 or 90 shows that year, but we were so nervous,” laughs Dave, the band’s lead guitarist.

“I think it was purely because it was King Tut’s, and we were standing in the stairwell to go on and borderline shaking. This time around I think we’re more just looking forward to it… It’s always been an iconic venue to us because we all grew up together, so we’d all go to gigs there together.

“It’s very strange to be playing there ourselves.”

The group are hoping there will be plenty of Yuletide spirit at the show, which caps off a good year for the band. As well as the release of Something I Can Change, they’ve also enjoyed tours with the likes of fast-rising surf pop-rockers Sunset Sons, which saw the Strathaven lads get to play the O2 ABC.

The two brothers had played in other acts over the years before starting Patersani. It has brought Dave right back to when he first started making music as a teenager.

“It’s a strange situation, because Craig and Colin were in the first band I was ever in, doing Nirvana covers aged about 12,” he recalls.

“Colin was on lead guitar back then, I was the singer and my brother was the bassist, so we’ve all chopped and changed what we’re doing now, but we grew up playing in bands, I didn’t grow up playing solo stuff.

“It was only when I went to uni that it was convenient to play on my own, because I could just go to the union or bars and play on my own. It was never the intention to just do that though, because I love having people to bounce off, and in this case it’s great as I’ve played with Craig and Colin for so long.”

Of course, having your brother in the band can have its up and downs, but there’s no wild Gallagher esque feuding within Patersani.

“Don’t get me wrong, we do have our moments where we disagree, but it’s never anything big,” laughs Dave.

“We’ve been best pals since we were young, and since we started this we’ve had the chance to work on other projects, but we’ve turned them down because it might distract from what we’re doing here.

“Now that we’ve got so far as it is, it would feel strange to do it without the other person there to work with, so it’s good that we’re on the same wavelength.”

After Tut’s, the group intend to knuckle down and focus on some more writing at the start of the New Year, then continue to tour and record as 2017 goes on, building up to an album release sometime in 2018. They’ve already got a few heavyweight backers in their corner, with their latest release produced by Bruce Rintoul, who has worked with the likes of Twin Atlantic and Fatherson.

“It’s about a failed relationship towards the end of 2015,” says Dave.

“We played it at the Garage supporting Eliza and the Bear and it got a really good response. We thought we had something there so we took it to Bruce over the summer and he really liked it – it changed a bit in the studio where we added a few more harmonies and developed it a bit but we were really happy with the finished product.”
