Gerard Love, singer, songwriter and bassist with Teenage Fanclub – which is another way of saying "indie rock god" – has gone and made a record under the alias Lightships. For it, he has enlisted a bunch of friends, all based in Glasgow, namely Dave McGowan (guitar, Teenage Fanclub), Brendan O'Hare (drums, from the first incarnation of Teenage Fanclub), Tom Crossley (flute, International Airport and the Pastels) and Bob Kildea (bass, Belle & Sebastian).
