GLASGOW INDIE OUTFIT TAKE A PUNT WITH DISCO ANTHEM, 100 TO 1 (SATURDAY NIGHT)
DECLAN WELSH & THE DECADENT RELEASE NEW SINGLE AHEAD OF ALBUM ‘2’
Declan Welsh & The Decadent West have this week released their latest new effort ‘100 to 1 (Saturday Night)’ from their imminent second album ‘2’. Set for release on October 27th via Frictionless Music, the latest offering proceeds ‘I Don’t Know Why’, ‘King Of My Head’, ‘Mercy’, ‘First To Know’ and ‘Doing Great’.
Having taken to the Scotlands biggest music festival TRNSMT main stage in July (we were there!), the dynamic four piece have sold out Glasgow’s legendary Barrowland Ballroom, played three back to back gigs at the iconic King Tuts Wah Wah Hut as well as a full tour support with Twin Atlantic and soon to be The Reytons too.
100 to 1 (Saturday Night)
The sixth release from their upcoming sophomore release ‘2’, 100 to 1 is a credit to the level of craft and musicianship on offer here. Declan has a unique way of captivating the character and energy of a generation. With his poetic lyricism and passionate realism, as a storyteller Declan is utterly captivating. Combined with the lullaby melody backdrop, this track instantaneously strikes a familiar nerve.
100 to 1 (Saturday Night)’ is a short story really. About a wee guy that’s not based on anyone in particular, but is more representative of this very common mindset – that idea that a weekend is where you try and forget how bad the week is. It’s meant to be funny, and exciting, and messy and under it all quite emotional. Like the experience of getting on it. It speaks quite a lot to the society we’ve created for ourselves that a great deal of the world population, especially in so called developed countries, spend every bit of free time they have numbing themselves to, or escaping from, reality.
Declan Welsh on 100 to 1 (Saturday Night)
Produced by award winning producer Gianluca Buccaletti (Arlo Parks, Big Piig, Easy Life), mastered by Heba Kadry (Beach House, Bjork, Big Thief, Slowdive), Declan Welsh & The Decadent West’s ‘100 to 1 (Saturday Night)’ is some of their finest work yet. The sharp comparison between the melancholic verses and anthemic chorus have the potential to hit euphoric highs when the band take the song on tour later this year.
Hey, alright, it’s time, Saturday night. This huge anthemic moment, the way it feels when it works, when the right tune is on, when you’re on cloud nine and it’s a Saturday.

World Tour (of Glasgow)
Safe to say that Declan Welsh & The Decadent West won’t be sleeping in their own beds very much this Autumn as they face a heavy tour schedule.
About to kick off round three of five intimate home town gigs next week, the band will bring their World Tour of Glasgow to the city’s Drygate on 22nd September. To be supported by top local bands Slix and Plasticine, this unique date will see the guys premier their new album live in full. October will take them to a sold out McChuills for a hot sweaty punk show (04/10) then finish in the city’s west end Partick Thistle Alan Rough Lounge for an Almost Halloween Disco (15/10).
November/December will take the band across the rest of the UK and into Europe. Then if that wasn’t enough to keep them busy, between dates the Glasgow four piece will also be hitting the road alongside The K’s supporting Sheffield’s The Reytons.
