Slowdive Debut Songs From New Album At Glasgow Tour Opener
By Peter Helman
Slowdive just kicked off their 2017 tour at the Art School in Glasgow. The shoegaze legends released “Star Roving,” their first new song in 22 years, back in January, and they performed it live for the very first time tonight. They also debuted two other songs from the album they’ve been working on, “Sugar For The Pill” and “No Longer Making Time,” and they teased an upcoming release on Facebook earlier today. Watch footage of the band performing “Star Roving” below.
