Beloved Scottish duo Arab Strap have been crafting raw, relatable and darkly comic indie rock for the best part of three decades. Most recently, their 2024 album I'm totally fine with it 👍 don't give a fuck anymore 👍 showcased an expanded, full band sound which remains as sharp and as vital as anything from their 'classic' period. They head to the North East as part of a handful of late summer UK shows, taking to Newcastle's Boiler Shop on Tues 12 Aug.
