  2. After an eventful and exciting year, in which they have added performances to a growing list of gigs such as T In The Park, Rockness, and Belladrum festivals, a highlight for them most recently was supporting Calvin Harris at the Coronet Theatre in London last month.

    With things set to continue and a UK tour booking up for 2012, they are having a final gig of 2011 in Aberdeen at the Lemon Tree on Dec 28th.

    If you are looking for an insight into what the band actually sound like, they are described as,

    “a mash up of Calvin Harris and Deadmau5 with elements of Example and Faithless”.

    "a bit of Calvin Harris and Hot Chip in there except with a bit more swagger"

    “Scotland’s answer to Pendulum”

    BBC Radio 1.

  3. Hey,

    Just found a link on this site asking about other music forums in Edinburgh / Gaslgow, but that dates back to 2006... not quite sure If there is anything decent out there now but I know that Glasgow Music, link.... Glasgowmusic.co.uk - For all the best new music in Glasgow has a forum but hasn't quite kicked off yet. I have put a link to Aberdeen Music Forum on it anyway saying how usuful it is, try encourage some networking, If any bands want support gigs in Glasgow, or Aberdeen etc, mention it.

    :up:
