Bobby Gillespie moved to Mount Florida in southeastern Glasgow, where he attended King’s Park Secondary School , where he first met Robert Young. Another schoolfriend was Alan McGee , who took Gillespie to see his first concert, Thin Lizzy . McGee and Gillespie were heavily influenced by punk rock , and they joined a local punk band, the Drains, in 1978. The Drains’ guitarist was a 15-year-old Andrew Innes. The band was short-lived, as Innes and McGee moved to London while Gillespie chose to remain in Glasgow.
