A rock band has announced a Glasgow gig at Saint Luke’s.
The Murder Capital are launching a UK tour after releasing new music ‘Can’t Pretend To Know’ this week.
The Irish group will take to the stage in the East End next year on Saturday, April 19.
The band will also be supporting Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds across Europe in October to warm up for their headline UK tour.

Speaking about their new music frontman James McGovern said: “‘Can’t Pretend To Know’ is a whip of a tune that we made to feel like a hurricane of colour and breathlessness.
“A surreal look at childhood innocence and all its replacers, those delicate bridges we burn as we move through the strangeways of our youth.
“Moulded by everything we come into contact with. Learning lessons from toys.
“Playing the parts that are asked of us.”
The track was recorded in Los Angeles earlier this year with producer John Congelton (St Vincent, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten) in an intense and fast paced session that prioritized urgency, energy and freshness.

It’s a track that points to the new era of The Murder Capital, carrying a new focus and clarity.
It comes after 2023 was a breakthrough year for The Murder Capital.
The release of their second album ‘Gigi’s Recovery’ saw widespread acclaim, and went to Number one in Ireland and broke the Top 20 in the UK album charts.
The band embarked on their biggest tour of the US, and performed at many festivals around the world including defining sets at Coachella, Glastonbury and Rock En Seine.
Their ‘Clown’s Reflection Tour’ in the autumn was a huge success and culminated in a sold-out headline show at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre.
More recently the group supported Pearl Jam in the UK and Europe as they played some of the biggest stages of their career to date.
