Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine (Carter USM) played their first gig for a decade at Glasgow Barrowlands on Saturday (October 20).

The indie band formed in 1987 by singer Jim “Jim Bob” Morrison and guitarist Les “Fruitbat” Carter split up in 1998, after releasing seven albums.

The pair briefly reunited under the name Who’s The Daddy Now? for some shows in 2001 and 2002, where Jim Bob and Fruitbat played a set each with their respective new bands before reuniting at the end of the night to perform some Carter USM songs – before disappearing to work on their own musical projects again.

The sold-out show in Glasgow this weekend saw the band play for nearly two hours, and even included covers of the Pet Shop Boys‘ ‘Rent’ and Inspiral Carpets‘ ‘This Is How It Feels’.

The reunited Carter USM are due to play just one more show this year, at London’s Brixton Academy on November 2.
