MUSIC: SPACE

The band behind the toe-tappingly infectious 1996 single Female of the Species play live tonight at Edinburgh’s intimate Electric Circus. After a six-year break Space reformed in 2011 and put out their latest full-length release, Attack of the Mutant 50ft Kebab, last year. Their next album, Strange World, is due out in March 2016.

Electric Circus, Market Street, Edinburgh, £14

FILM: CONCERNING VIOLENCE

Trendy arts venue The Glad Cafe is putting on a special film screening as part of brand new eight-day festival The Only Way is Ethics. Concerning Violence takes a stark look at the struggle for freedom in the developing world with the help of archive footage. Göran Olsson’s 2014 documentary is based on Frantz Fanon’s essay of the same name and has received universal acclaim since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last year.

The Glad Cafe, Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, £7
