The January blues might be here, but so is New Year’s Revolution at King Tut’s.

Every year the venue gives local bands a chance to shine, brightening a typically quiet couple of weeks in the city’s gigging scene.

Starting tonight and running through until January 21 (with the odd night off here and there to fit in other shows) Tut’s will host three or four bands every evening, with DJ sets and aftershow performances keeping the party going into the wee hours.

It’s a great chance to see some rising Scottish talent who could go on to big things.

Here’s a few acts appearing over the next few weeks that are worth looking out for…

Wuh Oh, tonight

Peter Ferguson has already supported the likes of DJ Shadow, and got started making his layered, sample-heavy pop when he was just 10 and his parents bought him a Yamaha keyboard. Having lived in Glasgow since going to university he has become skilled at making music that’s eclectic in tone but consistently encourages dancing.

EMILIE, Sunday January 8

The newest addition to Scotland’s increasingly lengthy list of electro-pop artists, Edinburgh native Emily Davidson released her debut EP I See You In The Darkness last autumn. The moody, effortlessly cool Eyes For You and the icy beauty of Lost suggest a singer-songwriter of real potential.

Quiche, January 9

Glasgow has a tendency to produce bands who make the sunnier side of music, and Quiche are the latest group to carry on that proud tradition. They’re coming to Tut’s fresh from recording some new material, and their psychedelic-flavoured pop should be warm enough to lighten any January gloom.

Artie Ziff, Wednesday January 11

Taking their name from a suitor of Marge Simpson, Artie Ziff are appearing on one of the heavier nights of the festival, with Megalomatic topping the bill. The three piece make sharp, twisting rock that’s on familiar terms with rock royalty like Biffy Clyro and the Foo Fighters, but with enough energy to stand out on its own. They released their second single, Family Tree, last summer.

Fenella, Thursday January 12

Glasgow girl Mairi Fenella Whittle is a new face on the Scottish scene, with a sound that displays a love for jazz and the blues. Over the past few months she’s performed at the Citizen’s Theatre at part of the special series of Citz Sessions gigs, opened for James Grant (of Love and Money fame) and also supported local 80s legends Hipsway when they reformed for a couple of shows at the O2 ABC. More is expected from her in 2017, including a music video and further recordings.

The Van T’s, Friday January 13

Of all the bands playing the New Year’s Revolution shows, and there’s about 80 of them, the Van T’s might be the furthest along the line. Formed by twin sisters Chloe and Hannah Van Thompson, the foursome have already got a couple of EP’s and a clutch of festival appearances to their name. The play fuzzy rock music that touches upon surf and grunge, calling to mind the likes of the Smashing Pumpkins and the B-52s.

Sergeant, Saturday January 21.

Sergeant are a bit different from many of the other bands playing Tut’s over the next few weeks. The Fife band have been here before – after forming in 2004, they gained attention around 2008 for their bounceable guitar pop sing-a-longs and had the likes of Alan McGee raving about them, while they earned support slots with Oasis. It never quite worked out, however, with a much delayed debut album stalling their momentum, and they eventually broke up. Now singer Nick Mercer has resurrected the group for another go.

New Year’s Revolution, tonight - January 21, King Tut’s, 8.30pm each night.
