It's quite a long title but I'm really enjoying the new @thejustjoans.bsky.social album
We'll be marking its release with gigs in Glasgow, London and Edinburgh, starting with an official album launch at Mono Cafe Bar on January 23rd.
Tickets are selling at a medium pace so grab yours to ensure disappointment: wegottickets.com/event/683436/
Thanks to The Skinny and Vanguard Online for these early - and positive - reviews; 'librarian louche with muscle' and 'The Smiths with a smile' indeed!
Our new album Romantic Visions of Scotland hits record shops a week today!
Give Limpet a listen!

The second single from our upcoming album Romantic Visions of Scotland was released earlier this week.
We didn’t post about it at the time because all of our attention and energy was being monopolised by our demanding, young children.
On a completely unrelated note, this is Limpet.

Pre-order Romantic Visions of Scotland from @fikarecordings.com:
fikarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/romant...
“They promised us Mars Bars and glory, but neglected to mention communal showering or being humiliated in front of our fathers. I went along for a few months and this song is based on my memories of those cold Sunday mornings..."

Singer, songwriter and one-time scrum-half, David Pope, takes up the story.
"When I was nine or ten, a couple of guys came to my primary school in Paisley to introduce us to mini rugby...”

We're thrilled to announce the first single from our upcoming album Romantic Visions of Scotland.
This is 'Here Come The Rugby Boys’: li.sten.to/the-just-joa...
Anyway, come and see us relive our glory days at the significantly smaller GUU Drawing Room on Saturday, November 22nd.

Call us arrogant, but even as we travelled down to London together to play at the legendary Twee As Fuck club night, both bands knew that they were destined for significantly bigger things in significantly bigger venues in front of significantly bigger crowds for significantly bigger fees.
Wow!! Doesn’t time fly?!
It’s soon to be the 18-year anniversary of the first time that we ever played with our pals, the Felt Tips.
The year was 2007 and indiepop was all the rage.
Doors: 7pm
Just Joans: 7.30pm
Allo Darlin': 8.30pm
Fresh from having new band photographs taken by the wonderfully-talented Stephanie Gibson last weekend, we’ll be back onstage this evening at Stereo to support our old friends Allo Darlin'.
Expect to hear tracks from our upcoming album, and then see us dancing among the crowd.
And then a week later on Saturday, November 22nd, we're back home to open for indiepop icons The Felt Tips as they celebrate the reissue of their Living and Growing LP at Glasgow University Union. 🎓

In November - Saturday 15th, to be exact - David, Katie and Fraser are heading south to play a stripped back set at the Cambridge Indiepop All-Dayer. 🚆

The following Friday - October 10th - we will be supporting our old friends @allodarlin.bsky.social at Stereo in Glasgow as they return to the UK for their Bright Nights tour. 🌟

On Saturday, October 4th, we will be opening up Edinburgh Indiepop Collective's inaugural - and sold out - All-Dayer at the Mash House. 🙌
Our upcoming album Romantic Visions of Scotland is now in the hands of the music manufacturers… 🏴💿
…so it's time to bring you up to speed with some live shows that we have on the horizon. 👇
We're returning to Pop At The Lock!
Our first show for 2025 is in the diary and it's a belter. There will be more to follow this year, and perhaps even a new record too.
Tickets on sale from March 1st.
David and Katie’s sister-in-law put her Christmas tree up over the weekend so we’ll allow this…
Hello friends! 👋 We’re not so much late to the Bluesky party, it’s more we were never invited in the first place; it’s like our teenage years all over again.
David wanted to stay in the other place for the pornbots, but finally saw sense when he saw how many of you were already here.
