Gichard

Introducing Gichard for FREAKENDER 2026, fresh out the oven post punk duo from members of other Glasgow faves Dragged Up. They support Black Doldrums earlier in the year and we were immediately hooked - Sunday 20th September @ The Old Hairdresser's

Gichard are Chas Lalli and Lisa Jones, a Glaswegian duo writing surrealistic, post-punk-inflected vignettes laden with hooks and with a foot in the underground. Previously collaborating in the band Dragged Up Gichard's debut recording Chins For Lefty is the band's first musical statement. Recorded mostly at home in 2025, the recording was picked up by Night School Records before the group had even played live.

The band presents a skewed universe populated by lyricist Lisa Jones' outsider characters and moral dilemmas, shot through with an achingly funny and absurdist deadpan delivery redolent of the west of Scotland. Musically, Chas Lalli's music direction channels the vision into lo fi, catchy chunks of cosmic, post-punk. "Gichard" summarises the group's ethos - a made up name that sounds familiar but isn't.

Chins For Lefty is released May 29th on Night School Records.
