Prolapse

Prolapse is an English band from Leicester, formed in 1992, whose music combines shoegazing and krautrock. This Glasgow date takes place at The Rum Shack, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city.

Prolapse came together in Leicester in the early 1990s, and its members are now based across the UK and Scandinavia. The band draws on post-punk, krautrock and folk, building its songs on repetitive figures and twisted melodies. Two vocalists, Mick Derrick and Linda Steelyard, sing intense, overlapping parts over a triple guitar attack and heavy rhythms.

The group's debut album, Pointless Walks to Dismal Places, appeared on Cherry Red in 1994. Across its career Prolapse has released numerous singles and four albums on different labels, including Cherry Red and Radar. Its most recent album, issued on Tapete Records in 2025, was the first new studio material since Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes in 1999. The lead single, "On The Quarter Days", reached number one in the Festive 50, a chart first decided by votes from John Peel listeners.

The Rum Shack is a Glasgow venue for concerts and shows, and this booking adds a live appearance by the band to its programme.
