KASSIDY return to Fibbers tonight, 11 months after the Glaswegian four-piece played a gig there that “wasn’t terribly busy”, as band member Lewis Andrew recollects.

Nevertheless, Lewis remembers that night in York fondly.

“The people who came along, we know them by name now and we’re in touch with a bunch of them on Facebook,” he says.

Kassidy conclude a six-date tour in York tonight, promoting taster track I Can’t Fly and previewing their second album, One Man Army, set for release on April 30 on Vertigo as their speedy follow-up to last February’s Hope St debut.

“I think the songwriting has matured and progressed a great deal because we’ve grown up,” says Lewis. “We wrote our first single when I was 19, and I’m 22 now.”

The recording sessions for One Man Army were memorable too. “We did the record at Rockfield Studios, where Queen’s A Night At The Opera and Led Zeppelin’s albums were made and it was unbelievable seeing the most famous piano I’d ever seen; the one played by Freddie Mercury.” The album was recorded in a week. “Being in that studio gives the record a complete sound, whereas we recorded the first one over maybe six months,” says Lewis.

“We had about 20 songs that we went into the studio with this time, and the first point was to see what the studio was like, get five or six tracks down over three days, but then we thought, ‘you know what, we’re on a roll, we might as well finish it’.”

And finish it they did, with extras left over. “We’ve kept plenty of songs back, and already there are some bonus tracks on iTunes – Anybody Else and The Four Walls – if you order the album on download. In fact, the hardest decision was choosing which extra tracks we could put out as there were so many. I’d love to release an EP as well, if possible.”

Although the album is electric, the tour finds Lewis, front-man Barrie James O’Neill, Chris Potter and Hamish Fingland reverting to their trademark format of four men in a line with acoustic guitars, albeit with forays into electric guitar and piano contributions from Barrie on One Man Army and Driven By Fools.

Meanwhile, the band members all continue to live under one Glasgow roof.

“It’s good because we know where everyone is!” says Lewis.

Not that they agree on what the album title means. “Everyone can relate to that thing of feeling the whole world is against you,” says Lewis, offering his interpretation.

“Barrie wrote it, and all of four of us have taken a different view on it, but I see it as relating to Greek mythology and the fantastic story of Achilles, which features strongly on the record.”

Tonight’s 7.30pm gig lets you form your own opinion.
