A masterpiece in mood and momentum : youth for sale mesmerise at summer nights!
Last night at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Youth for Sale delivered a powerful, heartfelt set that proved why they’re quickly becoming one of Glasgow’s most compelling live acts. As part of the King Tut’s Summer Nights series, the venue was packed with energy from local supporters beaming with that unmistakable pride.
Cherry opened the night with a punchy, energetic set that instantly grabbed the crowd’s attention. Her raw sound and strong onstage chemistry set the perfect tone for the rest of the night. She had an easy going approach which was authentic on stage.
The Cowards welcomed new member Livi to the band, bringing a darker, more brooding energy to their set. Their confident, punk-inspired songs—layered with gritty vocals and intense build-ups—kept the audience completely drawn in from start to finish.
New Year’s Prayer delivered an emotional set full of dreamy textures and explosive highs. Their ability to shift moods so effortlessly made their performance feel cinematic and powerful.
From the first chords, Youth for Sale established their signature sound: a mix of indie with woozy synth textures, layered guitars, and airy vocals that felt both distant and deeply personal.
Throughout their set, they debuted a mix of new and old songs which marked a more mature, introspective direction and held the room in total stillness for a moment.
Lead vocals were punchy and confidently delivered, never lost in the mix. The band’s chemistry was tight, especially in the interplay between synth and guitar, and their crowd interaction felt relaxed and genuine. You could tell they were grateful to be there, but it never felt forced.
Youth for Sale offered more than just a gig—they created an atmosphere. If you missed it, you missed something quietly special. If you were there, you’ll know what I mean.
