3kyoti studio	"Although 3kyoti studio was originally conceived and created (in mid-2002) as a high-end, fully transportable recording system*, I jumped at the opportunity in June 2003 to take over a space in the West End of Glasgow just off Argyle Street that had been used until recently as a rehearsal and work room by The Blue Nile and, before that, Teenage Fanclub. It is still early days for the room-based project and the studio is constantly evolving, but I have been very encouraged by results on recent projects. "I prefer, wherever possible, to capture ensemble performances with little or no separation, applying appropriate mic technique while treating spill between instruments as a positive and integral part of the sound picture. And after many years operating studios around the world in traditional control room / recording room set-ups, I find it both refreshing and inspiring to have all the recording gear in the same room as the artist. The advantage of the engineer / producer being in direct communication with the musicians and so able to feel directly what is occurring in the recording room leads to a far more enjoyable, relaxed and productive recording experience. "I've chosen Nuendo, Cubase SX and Wavelab as main recording software as they both suit my operational style and are the most sonically rewarding to my ears. Of course it is perfectly possible to import audio from other programs and formats for remix and additional production roles. "If you would like to discuss any aspect of your project or have any queries about 3kyoti that are not covered on this site then please contact us directly via email.

Aberdeen Music	The largest online community dedicated to the music scene of Aberdeen, Scotland. http://www.aberdeen-music.com
Aberfeldy	Aberfeldy were formed in May 2002 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Riley Briggs (singer/songwriter) met Ian Stoddart (drums), Ken McIntosh (bass) and Sarah McFadyen (fiddle/vocals) in the famous Edinburgh folk music venue The Royal Oak where he served his musical apprenticeship playing three nights a week for the great Scottish public. Together they began working with producer and folk musician of ‘Easy Club’ fame Jim Sutherland to record some of Riley’s own material and were joined by Ruth Barrie (keyboard/vocals) after spotting her singing in the Bongo Club cafe. After a great degree of experimentation the group hit upon a back-to basics technique used by artists like Sinatra and Elvis in the 1950’s. Their use of only one microphone helped the band to achieve the fresh sound that perfectly sets off the five piece's beautiful boy-girl harmonies and gentle acoustic sensibilities. Aberfeldy spent the next year honing their sound, setting up a weekly residency in the Forest Arts Café and playing regularly in Edinburgh and touring the North of Scotland. In the midst of their busy schedules the band were working hard to develop and record their debut album with Jim. Demos of the songs began to attract considerable interest and the band received airplay on Radio One. In May 2003 the band were picked from over 500 bands to play the Tennents Lager T-Break showcase week in Edinburgh. By September Aberfeldy had completed work on their debut album and made plans to release it themselves. In January 2004 the band were picked to play at Scottish International showcase Celtic Connections at the Glasgow Barrowlands. There the band were spotted by a radio plugger who sent their fledgling album straight to Geoff Travis at Rough Trade Records. A few days later Geoff flew up to meet Aberfeldy and the band were signed to the great independent UK label. Aberfeldy released their first single, a limited edition 7 “ promo “Vegetarian Restaurant” in June 2004. This was followed by the release of their critically acclaimed album, “Young Forever” in August 2004. Amongst a batch of great press the album was given 9/10 in the NME, alongside a “Single of the Week” accolade for first proper single “Heliopolis by Night” released in September 2004, which reached number 66 in the UK charts. The album “Young Forever” was also released on the Rough Trade Records US label in August 2004 and simultaneously released in Europe, Asia and Australasia in September 2004. Aberfeldy have played all over Scotland and the UK since their signing to Rough Trade. They were selected to play the recent London Calling showcase at the Amsterdam Paradiso and will be making their way to Groningen to play the Eurosonic Festival in January 2005. The band will be headlining at the Celtic Connections Festival again this year before heading off on a UK tour with singer/songwriter David Kitt. Aberfeldy were also selected to play at the 2004 Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Festival – the World’s biggest street party – supporting New York’s finest – Blondie and the Scissor Sisters. The group have been invited to play at the annual SXSW festival in Austin Texas in March 2004. Look out for their next single Love Is An Arrow and accompanying music video featuring lovelorn Eskimos. Released on February 14th 2005, Valentine’s Day. http://www.aberfeldys.com

Alamos	A certain man had a donkey, which had carried the corn-sacks to the mill indefatigably for many a long year. But his strength was going, and he was growing more and more unfit for work. Then his master began to consider how he might best save his keep. But the donkey, seeing that no good wind was blowing, ran away and set out on the road to Glasgow. There, he thought, I can surely be a town-musician. When he had walked some distance, he found a hound lying on the road, gasping like one who had run till he was tired. What are you gasping so for, you big fellow, asked the donkey. "Ah," replied the hound, as I am old, and daily grow weaker, and no longer can hunt, my master wanted to kill me, so I took to flight, but now how am I to earn my bread." http://www.alamos.co.uk

AlbaRoss	AlbaRoss is the alias of Ross Adamson, a 28 year old fifer now residing in London. He has been making music for the last 9 or so years under various names most recently [and for the longest period] as abelsonofadam. He makes off kilter electronic music and delivers the words he writes mainly in the form of rap. Being one of those people who in general day to day life just won't stop talking [and has been told; 'loves the sound of his own voice'] the pure phonetics of the words pronounced and the sheer volume of them that can be packed into a song were appealing from the first listening of Black Sunday by Cypress Hill as a [very] impressionable 12 year old. Ross is working at present on various collaborative projects as well as rehearsing and booking shows for summer '08 with the view to gradually recording his debut LP over the summer and autumn months for the very wonderful Crystal Wish back home in Edinburgh. As much as he enjoys doing this he dislikes writing in the third person. http://www.myspace.com/crystalwishrecords http://www.myspace.com/albaross abelsonofadam@btinternet.com

Alex Smoke	Welcome to the wonderful world of Alex Smoke, the young producer from Glasgow whose potent album, ‘Incommunicado’ is about to be released on Soma Records. This is Alex Smoke’s eagerly awaited debut and what a masterpiece it is. Already a name to watch in the underground electronic circuit he is on the cusp of getting the recognition he deserves. Alex Smoke is part of a generation of producers who are blurring the boundaries between minimal, techno and electronica. This music still may live on the dancefloor but it occupies so much more. Drawing from a myriad of influences including dub, electro, grime, latin and experimental pop, Alex Smoke has concocted a deeply emotive artist album that is mysterious, melancholic and inspiring. Alex comments “I just want it to be musically fulfilling, irrespective of the what genre the listener is usually in to.” http://www,somarecords.com

Art Goes Pop	After Fab Gear rallied us with his stories of latent musical confusion, and impressed upon us the importance of zen and 8 track cassettes we went from making his tea (Earl Grey with 2 sugar LUMPS not spoons for anyone interested) to helping him get his label off the ground...Bands of relevance to NEMIS members are of course POPUP and The LOW MIFFS though we have many many other bands from around the world...Fab's tastes stretch far and wide hence we are not tied by genre or geography, if it's good it's good and if we like it we'll release it...Simple as that. We think NEMIS is a great thing since it's a definite tool to D.I.Y. (better than even the electric sander) plus it's aims are for the good of the scene NOT the industry...therefore we think that everyone should support and donate to NEMIS whenever possible...it's easy to fall into the slack and take for granted a tool like this...DON'T!!!

Autonomous	Originally a five piece band, Autonomous were forced to play only what the rhythm guitarist wanted to. Now after the sacking of said guitarist, the band have wiped the slate clean and produced a style of music which takes the influences of funk, jazz, classic rock and smooth metal and merges them together. Currently still getting a strong enough setlist together, Autonomous are hoping to get noticed by the public by the end of the year. http://www.myspace.com/autonomous main@autonomous-music.com

Babygod	We are, Gerry Campbell, (lead vocals, guitar), Brian Campbell, (Bass, vocals) Ruth Mills, (synths, guitar, vocals) and Neil Grant (Drums, Percussion) Brothers, Gerry and Brian met Ruth at school in Bellshill. “There weren't many people who sang Gershwin for kicks where we’re from” says Gerry, “so I knew I had to find out what she was about. We all started exchanging tapes of whatever was firing us up, Prince, old Two Tone records, My Bloody Valentine…” Ruth adds. “Gerry and Brian are both impressive musicians with a sensitive and expressive approach that appealed to me greatly. We all share a flat in the east end of Glasgow now. After a long spell of recording in our kitchen, our labours bore fruit with the release of our debut single ‘perfection’ late 2003. Our second release ‘Lists of Three’ is due out late summer 2005.” Armed with a drum machine and a lot of guts, Gerry recalls “We played loads of gigs as a three piece last year. Choosing strange venues that don’t normally host bands, a lap dancing club, a hairdressers, friends flats… then, on New Years Eve 2004, after a roof raising gig at The End Of The Month Club, Glasgow, a cheeky tyke from the Highlands came up and told us we really needed a drummer.” Enter Neil Grant to take over the percussive reigns with machine like accuracy. http://www.geocities.com/babygodtheband irregularverb@hotmail.com

Bannermans	Bannermans is located in the catacombs of Edinburgh's Old Town, a part of town that was once blighted by plague. Given a complete lack of quality medical care ("take these leeches and call me in the morning if you're alive.") the whole area was given up as lost and basically buried. Many years later the myriad tunnels and chambers were once more exposed, as people started moving back in to them. Bannermans is located at the heart of this, which turned out to be a very good thing indeed. You see, stone doesn't burn. Just two years ago a large chunk of the Old Town was decimated by a massive fire which took out most of a city block. Bannermans escaped due to some very brave firemen in big red trucks, and by virtue of being tunnelled back into centuries old walls. And yes, we have a ghost.... http://www.bannermansgigs.co.uk phone: (0131) 556 3254

Barry Price	Barry(19) was born and raised in Scotland. He is currently sitting an Honours Degree in Music Technology and Commercial Music. It is only just recently that his music has stepped up from a hobby into a more semi-professional level. His ascent was fast and with just an acoustic guitar, an ear for music and a strong hope to take it to the top; no-one has doubted him yet. Over the last year, he has been touring making his name more and more popular throughout his local area and has rapidly picked up lots of performing, recording and producing experience. Over a short period of time after this, his name kept on coming up in the main cities and towns of Scotland such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and Falkirk. His Mailing List is accumulating fast from people signing up at every gig he plays, with more and more new faces turning up to watch him play again and again. He is currently working with a musician from the band, Runrig, a very successful Scottish band who have sold albums all over Europe (Germany, Denmark, Belgium etc...). He has taught Barry the main necessities of the music industry, performing and recording. He has definitely brought out the best in Barry’s music ability. "Live performances are one of the best ways to promote a band, so I always make sure I am on top form before I walk on stage. Treat each gig professionally” - Barry Price He recently had his demo ‘Living in my shoes’ and ‘ If I Lost Myself’ played on Scottish National radio (Beat 106) and became what’s known as a Beat Breaker (one of the best emerging talents in Scotland). He has also been in touch with Radio 1’s Vic Galloway and who only had great things to say about Barry’s Music. He has had interviews with Central FM and they liked his music so much at the station they wanted him as part of the Central FM road show which tours all around Scotland. Barry came very close to winning the ‘Miller music Competition’ hosted by Beat 106 to show the best of Scotland’s Un-Signed talent. Barry was runner up 2nd Place out of the 10 bands chosen to represent the best un-signed talent. His music career is slowly building and it is only a matter of time before he is spotted by the right person to make an impact on this era’s music industry. http://www.barrypricemusic.co.uk Barrypricemusic@aol.com

Biffy Clyro	Simon Neil - guitar / vocals Ben Johnston - drums / vocals James Johnston - bass / vocals "The people that have heard us seem to love us. And that's the important thing: there's still so many more out there who'll potentially feel the same way. But our only real ambition is to be our own favourite band and I think we're succeeding." - Simon Neil In a time when the term punk rock is bandied about for easy access to credibility, Biffy Clyro are true exponents of a punk rock sound and ideal for 2003 - one which ensures everything centres around a constant musical (r)evolution They're signed to an independent label, still rehearse in the same YMCA room for £10 a week - and happily boast about the fact - and patently don't give a flying fig for notching up the obligatory Top 20 hits that are demanded of their contemporaries. Think back to all the great bands who have done it their way, who turned down or tuned up for no-one, regardless of commercial consequences. It's this attitude on which careers are built and respect earned. And so far for Biffy Clyro its working like a dream. The trio's recent thirty-date UK tour saw sold out shows the length and breadth of the country, with six hundred rapturous converts cramming into London Underworld to sing every single word to in what will turn out to be one of the capital's most over-subscribed gigs of 2003. A beautiful, beautiful sight. These recent rapturous shows are testament to Biffy Clyro's expanding fanbase, one which transcends the usual demographic, and draws in both young kids falling in and out of love for the first time and those who've been waiting patiently for a band who exude that same heart-stopping dynamic and raw, bloodied purity last heard with Nirvana in '91. Plus the high female quota shows is tribute to the refreshing feminine streak running through Simon Neil's lyrics - a real rarity in rock 'n' roll these days. "We're in for the long haul... this isn't about having 'hits' or having money" Formed by singer/guitarist Neil and drummer Ben Johnston in the mid-1990's while in their mid-teens, Biffy Clyro's formative years were a trial-by-fire apprenticeship that saw them quickly move on from their Nirvana + Guns N' Roses fixation and a brief period as Screwfish. Ben's twin brother came in on bass and Biffy Clyro debuted at a local youth centre supporting cult favourites Pink Kross. In 1997 the trio relocated to Glasgow to study audio engineering and electronics in music, but primarily to turn Biffy Clyro into a full-time proposition. As is the way for young men stepping out into the world the next couple of years saw the trio hardening their sound and broadening their musical horizons to take in the intelligent post-hardcore of Fugazi and the DC sound, influential emo originators such as Far and Mineral, the broken-hearted laments of Red House Painters and all manner of other such heroes of the alt-rock hinterlands. Five minutes in their company reveals Biffy Clyro to be true aficionados of music. Today they're namedropping Dillinger Escape Plan, Rush, Cave In, Stevie Wonder, tomorrow will bring a new discovery. So far, so what?, then. But then at some point Biffy Clyro got good. good. Debut single 'Iname' was unleashed in May 1999 by manager Dee Bahl, with the charmingly-titled 'thekidswhopoptodaytwillrocktomorrow' EP following soon after on Electric Honey (the label that released Belle & Sebastian's 'Tiger Milk' album). More importantly they played show after show, refining their taut, emotionally charged sound alongside fellow Scots Eska and Lapsus Linguae. Spotted playing the unsigned stage at 2000's T In The Park festival, they promptly signed to Beggars Banquet and released debut single - and Kerrang! Single Of The Week - '27' in October 2000. And that's when things really started happening. With all three members sharing vocal duties and Simon's heart-achingly powerful lyrics painting pictures of both despair and elation, betrayal and celebration, their fanbase swelled inconsiderably.Ê Off the back of blitzkrieg tours that saw the band hitting every town that would have them, Biffy Clyro recorded tracks with Paul Corkett (Placebo, Six By Seven) and Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Idlewild). 'Justboy' preceded debut album 'Blackened Sky', released in early 2001. A slow-burner complimented by seemingly endless shows alongside the cream of the Britrock crop and a European tour with The Cooper Temple Clause, ÔBlackened SkyÕ was one of the most critically-acclaimed underground albums of 2002. And its from the underground that Biffy Clyro shall rise to dizzier heights. There's only a year between the two albums, and that's a deliberate move. What's the point in being in a band otherwise? Get this: Biffy Clyro's new album 'The Vertigo Of Bliss' was recorded in one day. One day. Guns n' Roses they aren't. Thank God. Ensconced in Great Linford Manor studio with Chris Sheldon they ripped through a set of fifteen songs and spent the rest of the week on Playstation. The result is a rich, diverse album of angular post-hardcore / alt-rock. Call it what you want. Taking it's title from a phrase in contemporary novel 'I Lucifer', 'The Vertigo Of Bliss' is an inspired rush of emotion, contemplation and twisting melodies. Those in the know have had Biffy Clyro pegged as leading lights in a grass-roots scene for some time now. With their sophomore album, the likeable trio are set to soundtrack the lives of those whose path they cross. As Simon Neil says: "Guitar, bass, drums... it's been done before and it'll be done again. But if the song is amazing it doesn't matter. You can't polish a turd." And the name? Best not ask. Just listen with open ears. http://www.biffyclyro.com

Boyfriend/Girlfriend	Boyfriend/Girlfriend are a melodic guitar, bass and drum three-piece that throw in synths, beats and boy/girl shouts to keep themselves entertained. Originally hailing from a small town with no scene or contemporaries and now spread throughout Stirling/Glasgow/Edinburgh, they attempt to make their own music that eschews typical topics, sounds and song formats. Inspired by Pretty Girls Make Graves, The Pixies and Idlewild and singing in their own central Scotland accents, they create an intriguing and different brand of alternative guitar rock. / “Boyfriend/Girlfriend argue their choruses assertively over insistent, agitated guitars, all exciting drum skitter-batter and flailing mazurka/prog endings, very like Scarce and Talking Heads when they were three having a water fight while adults argue war by the barbecue. [In their] rattle about disjointed pop guitar unit, everyone sings and this is as it should be.” - / 13th Note write up, August ’06 / http://www.myspace.com/boyfriendgirlfriend

Chem19 Studios	Recording Studio The last year has seen the recording studio take massive leaps forward in both the analogue and digital domain.We finally took the plunge into the world of digital recording by adding Digidesigns world famous Pro Tools to the studio, This was no easy feat for a studio with a passion for all things that use valves and tape but the recent improvements in audio quality of digital recording and the flexibility can't be denied. Any fears you might have about seeing Andy in an empty control room except for a keyboard and a computer screen will be immediately allayed when you see our new Amek desk. It takes at least six people to lift and we had to remove the control room window to get it in because there was no way it was coming through the door. I know this souns a bit like "check out the size of our desk" but we at Chem19 truly believe, without any scientific proof, that the bigger the piece of equipment, the better. Trust us. - 66 Channel Amek Einstein desk with Supertrue automation - 24 track 2" Otari MX-80 tape machine - Mac G4 dual 1.25 GHz processor running Digidesign Pro Tools - Wide range of compressors, gates, outboard effects from the likes of Drawer, TLA, Lexicon and Yamaha etc. - Comprehensive collection of high quality microphones - Dat Mastering Rate: £25 per hour for unsigned bands / £30 per hour for signed bands Chem 19 has 2 rehearsal rooms.

Cinephile	Cinephile's sound is derived from and inspired by the atmosphere created on the silver screen. Their music has been described as "the soundtrack to a film which doesn't exist", the eerie sonic reflection of a visual medium. Yet, what makes Cinephile different from their peers is not only the dramatic, tragic, seductive, haunting vocals or the unique production dynamic of the music and compositions, but the level of interaction that the overall output creates in the audience's collective psyche. Cinephile see their compositions as a means of getting away from just writing music. They are inspired by the thought that their work generates an atmosphere and depth of feeling that instills something beyond visual interpretation, appearing differently to each individual listener. Music, melody, vocals, samples, incidental parts, all merge together and evolve unplanned. Cinephile construct, deconstruct, reconstruct, feeling out the interaction between the sounds, creating a fluid mix, building it in layers until the final composition couldn't be further from it's origin. Film would be nothing without music; music is everything without film. Cinephile's sound is an audio storyboard with faceless actors - it's music for the ears, the eyes, and the mind. http://www.cinephileonline.com

Colette McKendrick	Colette McKendrick is a singer/songwriter from Glasgow who began her quest to be a successful musician at the age of eight, when she began learning to play the piano. Much of her work is still piano-based, although she often writes for guitar, and recently, for orchestra. For those unfamiliar with Colette's work, begin with Philip Glass or Michael Nyman, throw in some Kate Bush or Tori Amos and add the theatrics of The Cure or Cyndi Lauper and you may have an idea. Her powerful voice has broken a few microphones, as has, Laura Healy's, who has been performing backing vocals with Colette since they met in the school playground at the age of four. Colette's music attracts a diverse crowd, from young teen tearaways who enjoy the occasional swear word, to a more mature audience who relate to Colette's lyrics. Having suffered the loss of her boyfriend to cancer two years ago, Colette's songs take the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. Her range of styles from rock, to pop, to funk, are proving to be irresistible and so she is now pursuing the right publishing deal. http://www.colettemckendrick.co.uk

You'll walk away wondering who the hell James Kelman is.... Supporting indie hero Neil Leyton and Valis (ex-Screaming Trees) have been highlights, and low lights are not worth the time it takes to type them. - for more info, releases, mp3s, photos, upcoming gigs, and the suprisingly good video for Storyteller, please visit: www.myspace.com/deadenstereo http://www.deadenstereo.com deadenstereo@hotmail.com

Deathpodal has supported the likes of Circulus, Paul Research (The Scars), Uncle John & Whitelock, Pete McConville, Amber and The Jinx. ------------------------------------------------- "Deathpodal - man, mystery or soon-to-be living legend? There are many theories, but either way its clear that he is a sublimely talented artist whose music has a fragile beauty perfectly suited for a live setting.

Degrassi	The band are: Michael Branagh - Drums/Vocals Bob Fairfoull - Bass Tommy "The Dime" Nicol - Guitar/Lead Vocals Scott "Cannibal" Smith - Guitar/Vocals www.degrassi.co.uk/degrassidisco.htm Based in Edinburgh Degrassi have received critical acclaim from such luminaries as: NME (bring it on band of the month), Radio 1, XFM, Drowned in Sound, Rocksound, Kerrang, Logo, Q and much of Scotland's music press. Degrassi have been a formidable force both on stage and in the studio. Building up a fierce reputation for vibrant and intense live performances, it was a only a matter of months before their biting sound of versatile complexities met the approving ears of BBC Radio One legend John Peel. On hearing their first studio recording (an unreleased 4 song session) he promptly offered the band their first Peel Session which was recorded and broadcast the following month to enthusiastic praise on air from the respected host. With time, increasingly enthusiastic reviews from publications as varied as The Scotsman, The List, The Sun, News of the World, The Evening News and NME.com, expressing their eager approval, were received, in addition to countless fanzine, webzine and underground publication endorsements. A 2nd invitation to the John Peel Show followed and a live session was recorded and broadcast, shortly followed by sessions for the BBC Session in Scotland's evening performance and BBC Radio Scotland's 'AIR' programme (hosted by Vic Galloway, another one of the early converts to the Degrassi cause). The Debut EP 'Terminal Ocean' produced by Michael Brennan (Super Furry Animals, Mogwai, The Beta Band, Elastica, Snow Patrol, And you will know us by the trail of dead) was later released on underground independent Scottish label SL Records. It reaped much critical acclaim and went some considerable way to breaking down the pigeon hole that many reviewers had struggled to place the band in. The next e.p. 'The Form' was also released, recorded again with Michael Brennan and Dub Panda, released on SL Records. Degrassi have played with bands such as: Snow Patrol, Faust, Wayne Kramer (MC5),Terra Diablo, Franz Ferdinand, Ballboy and to name but a few. Three T in the Park appearances have upped the ante in boosting the band's live profile that had already attained the eager attention and anticipation of many audiences and critics alike. This years T in the Park performance (2004) saw them close the tent and reap acclaim from many journalists including Dominic Diamond. After numerous tours with Cinerama (EX-Wedding Present Frontman David Gedge's current outfit) and the 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster, the band had a swift line up re-shuffle and drafted-in ex-Idlewild Bassist Bob Fairfoull on additional guitar/bass duties. A recent tour of England has just been completed with the band playing alongside Ambulance Ltd and Bellx1 at Alan McGee's Death Disco (a recent campaigner for the band, writing favourable reviews and playing on his Radio One show along with Edith Bowman, Jo Whiley, Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe. The band headlined a prestigious gig at last years music industry conference MusicWorks in Glasgow as well as well as a highly successful slot on the MTV EMA showcase bill and also recent finalists of the Diesel awards alongside the Blueskins. 2004 has seen the band go from strength to strength touring with Sluts of Trust, Colour of Fire, Seafood and Aereogramme building a strong fan base across the UK and Europe. Degrassi were also nominated in the XFM awards for best live act of 2004. BBC Radio 1 Session in Scotland - Vic Galloway 'After a significant line-up change and directional move, Edinburgh's Degrassi are now better than ever & have completed a new recording with Michael Brennan (Mogwai, Super Furry Animals etc), Think of Idlewild's hooks, Mogwai's post-rock soundscapes and New Order's timing and synchronisation and you're approaching where the band are now coming from. Tremendous stuff.' Playlouder The Printworks, Manchester. (15/04/04) 'Down at the Printworks there is a storm brewing with Degrassi.The Edinburgh-based crew have been around a couple of years and have honed down their punk pop-fused, Art school rush of perfection... great hooks rise out of the intense riff action, all driven along with a high energy rush. Degrassi are definitely one of those bands that leaves you wondering why they are not much bigger'. John Robb. http://www.degrassi.co.uk

The instrumentation is entirely electronic and the albums feature a mix of dark ambient aggressive tracks to lighter more classical influenced tracks. digitalTRAFFIC albums range in styles, but feel very cohesive overall. The albums don't fall easily into any preconceived category, but should appeal to fans of heavy electronic / electronica, ambient / space music, orchestral electronica and experimental industrial soundscapes. digitalTRAFFICs sound takes the listener on a journey through heavy electronic inspired soundtracks to dark ambient soundscapes. There is a distinct live feel to the albums - clouds of sounds over heavy rhythms - unusual in construction and production but with a natural flow. Classic digitalTRAFFIC sound throughout creating a sound palate of discordant layers and rhythms with a sci-fi edge. Perfect for all MP3 players. http://www.digitaltraffic.biz

Dresden	Keepin' the rock 'n' roll fires burnin' is thirsty work, so in these times of great drought where even a drop of musical sewerage is fought over and lapped up as if it is the very nectar of life itself, it is from the heavens that we have been sent a life giving monsoon. And that, brothers and sisters is Dresden. Raining down on us like carpet-bombs, blowing away the stagnant present with a six string razored attack and panzer division drums, they wash the tuneless mud from our feet down the gutter of banality. Breast fed by the Stooges, nurtured by Sonic Youth and finally educated in the ways of this wicked but beautiful world by their fathers the MC5, Dresden don't look for answers, they look for questions. Can we forget the past? NO. Can we put up with the present? NO. Can we change the future? DEFINITELY! These four bad seeds do bear sweet fruits, so feast on some Dresden delights. Some may say tasteless, others say they leave a bad taste, but either way they can't stop popping another one in their mouth and having one opinion or another as they bite down hard. Me...... I say Dresden forever brothers 'n' sisters. And they always taste like rock 'n' roll to me. http://www.dresdenmusic.co.uk

Elephantine	Elephantine are a stoner metal band from Edinburgh comprising of Ally Leitch on vocals, Kieran Gallagher on guitar, Ross Martin on bass and Rikki Smith on drums. The band's juggernaught sound is like a mix between early Kyuss, The Stooges (and various miscellaneous punk groups) and Metallica. Songs vary from sludgy, low tuned beasts to up tempo stoner riffs. Loud as fuck drums, cheesy bass lines, crushing riffs and filthy, disgusting lyrics is what Elephantine are all about. Review Of Elephantine's Self released single "The Super Bad Ass Sweet Daddy Jones Experience" By Steve Belling From Virgin.net Only 2 tracks here, but there's plenty of earth moving de-tuned metal on display. It's hard-edged but accessible, and they deliver with a confidence that will do them no harm at all. Some of the riffs evoke classic era proto-HM given the way guitar, bass and drums evolve between shades of dark, and it would be interesting to hear these themes developed further. Ally supplies the vocal broadside with enough gritty character on tap to deliver at times, expletive-laden lyrics. Profane by nature, they might not be to everyone's taste, but there free to express their art, and it does stick a 'V' sign up the arse of the fake culture oozing from most music channel orifices. An enema for the music industry? Just stand well back. http://www.myspace.com/elephantine pearl_elx_rik@hotmail.com phone: 077749893941

Eoghan Colgan	Eoghan is a 27 year old doctor from Northern Ireland and one of the best kept secrets in British and Irish music. A guitarist since 15 he began songwriting and performing whilst at university in Belfast. His songs have strong, beautiful melodies with lyrics about love, life and friendship in a variety of musical styles. This musical mixture together with a powerful voice and natural stage presence is what has made him so appealing in many countries around the world. There is even a band in Fiji that cover two of his songs. Eoghan has been combining his medical career with his music for the past few years slowly building a large repertoire of original songs and honing his live performance. After two years working in Australia he moved to Glasgow in September ‘04 to concentrate on finally achieving his musical potential. In just a year he has found himself an exciting band and gone from open mic and coffee shop to showcases on BBC radio Scotland and headline performances at some of the biggest and best venues in Scotland including a sell out showcase at the recent Music Works festival. And the press is catching on too: “Perceptive and talented songwriter and performer in the best Irish tradition, who deserves to be heard by a much wider audience” (Jim McGhee, Daily Record). “At an exciting period for solo artists in Britain, Eoghan Colgan is emerging at the right time and with talent in abundance. A haunting voice with impressive songwriting skill, his acoustic melodies in songs such as Breathe and Believe Me send a shiver up your spine” (Breea McGuinness, Evening Times). It seems the secret might very soon be out! http://www.myspace.com/eoghancolgan

In order to promote the cultural diversity of the European music sector, the national and European public authorities are being asked to support this sector and to implement a specific support programme for music, as they do with other cultural industries, namely the film industry. The main objective of such a programme is the development of the music activities and thereby a higher level of competitiveness on the international market for the music sector. EMO supports the idea that there is a need to gather together all music industry actors so that they jointly propose sets of actions in line with the EU policy and fruitful to the whole chain of the music industry. This is the concept of the European Music Platform gathering the national promotion organisations in the EU Members States http://www.musicineurope.net

FIVEPARKDRIVE	FiveParkDrive are an emergence of pure talent from the central belt of Scotland. The band kicked off when Liam Davies (Vox, Rhythm Guitar), who was originally studying music at Guildford Academy of Contemporary Music travelled north to continue his studies at Forth Valley College. It was here that he met Billy Kay (Bass Guitar, Backing Vox) and Steven Black (Lead Guitar, Backing Vox). The band was born! They found a drummer in Daniel Adam, one of Billy’s friends, who also went on to study Music at Forth Valley College. As the band progressed they felt that their sound would benefit from the introduction of keys and they were soon to be joined by the final member, Steven Honeyman, in June 2004. Since then, FiveParkDrive have played a vast selection of venues locally and extending to Glasgow, Edinburgh and even London and Southampton, obtaining a loyal army of fans. The band were recently finalists in the East meets West Battle of the Bands sponsored by Carling. Although pipped to the post for first place, the band were the real winners, managing to secure a gig supporting the Bluetones at the Liquidroom, Edinburgh on 8 March 2006. They also have upcoming gigs at Whistlebinkies, Edinburgh, and Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh. The band’s influences include the Beatles, the Doors, FUNKADE, Sly and the Family Stone, the Jam, and Bob Dylan. Although their music sounds like no other! http://www.myspace.com/fiveparkdrive

Flying Pixie Promotions & Music Managment	Welcome to Flying Pixie Promotions & Music Management. I was thrust into the music industry quite by accident while assisting some friends of mine to gain a gig North of the Border! Further gigs ensued, along with positive feedback and my enthusiasm for taking things further grew. I started working with the IVAN DREVER BAND early in 2009 and had a stint at managing the band through 2009/10 The content of my work involves booking and promoting gigs, press and media (radio etc) involvement, working with agencies and all the nitty gritty work which leaves the band free to do what they do best - write and perform their music to the world. I am the administration behind the talent I guess... I have also been involved with the national competition Live & Unsigned / Open Mic (see links page) since early 2009. I will endeavour to help where I can with bands/artistes not on my roster and if I am not in a position to fulfill a job, I will be honest and let you know, but I will always reply to enquiries. http://www.flyingpixiepromotions.co.uk fionapixie@hotmail.com phone: 01668 219849 / 07766 409208

goEvents	Running from the Shetland Islands in the north to the Mull of Kintyre in the south, the Highlands and Islands of Scotland includes some of the most remote and beautiful parts of Scotland. Successive generations of creative talent have ensured that the area's impact on the world stage has been remarkable. Today a new wave of artists and innovators is carrying on their legacy. The modern Highlands and islands have been shaped by a unique blend of cultures over the last 2,000 years. In the Northern Isles (Shetland and Orkney), the influence of Norse ancestors is still to be found in the arts and dialect, while the Gaelic culture is evident throughout much of the mainland and Western Isles. The eastern part of the region has many local traditions that have grown from the Scots language. To this cultural mix add everything from MTV to digital downloads, and you have a wealth of music that ranges from the most traditional to the most contemporary, and which above all, is distinctive, exciting and alive. goEVENTS was set up to support the work of Highlands and Islands Labels (HAIL) as it continues to develop the music industry of the Highlands and Islands, and to find ways of showcasing the most exciting talent coming out of the area, regardless of genre. Our annual flagship event is goNORTH, which over the last three years has featured over 180 acts in more than 200 performances. 157 acts from 14 nations have played, but with the majority coming from Scotland. These showcases have created an opportunity to develop new partnerships both nationally and internationally. Of the 157 showcased acts, to the best of our knowledge15 have gone on from goNORTH to sign some kind of record deal. Interest is also being shown in a number of others. The region has great talent and an excellent track record, and is looking for project partners and networking opportunities both at home and internationally. If you would like to know more about goEVENTS or HAIL and their work, or just to find out a bit more about the music in the Highlands and Islands, please get in touch. http://www.goevents.info

Green Peppers	Green Peppers is the first solo project by Glaswegian guitar legend Jim McCulloch. Born in deepest Lanarkshire, he has been involved in the Glasgow music scene for over fifteen years. Playing lead guitar in the Soup Dragons, in the original line-up of the BMX Bandits and latterly joining old school chum Joe McAlinden in the much under-rated Superstar, Jim has had a varied and hugely enjoyable time playing music with people he respects as friends and musicians. "Green Peppers is really a vehicle for me to record and perform with friends...songs that I've kind of had swirling around in my head for a couple of years", says Jim. "There's no fixed line-up for the band, but hopefully I'll always find someone who enjoys playing beautiful music to join in with me", he adds with a smile. The first album, Joni's Garden, is released on the 15th November 2004 on Neon Tetra Records. Musicians involved this time around were Alan Hutchison, Jim Gash, Joe McAlinden, David Scott and Isobel Campbell. Welcome to Green Pepperland! http://www.greenpeppers.info

Gum	Based around the songwriting of Raymond Weir and the vocals of Leigh Myles, Gum released their debut album to favourable reviews in 2003. Featuring a clutch of great tunes and some spooky atmospherics, 'Low-flying Kites' brought Leigh’s mellifluous vocals and sultry looks to a wider audience. One reviewer described the band as sounding “like Hope Sandoval fronting OK Computer-era Radiohead”. Now signed to Serali Records, their next release, the mini-album 'Seven Feeble Alibis', sees the band move into more muscular territory. Featuring beefier epics like ‘Cross your heart, hope to die’ 'Beyond the Horizon’ and the incendiary ‘Falling through cracks’, the new album takes Gum to another level, with Leigh’s multi-layered backing vocals lifting the killer choruses to truly dizzying heights. 'Seven Feeble Alibis' is out now on Serali Records. http://www.choosegum.com

Highlands & Islands Labels (HAIL)	Running from the Shetland Islands in the north to the Mull of Kintyre in the south, the Highlands and Islands of Scotland includes some of the most remote and beautiful parts of Scotland. Successive generations of creative talent have ensured that the area’s impact on the world stage has been remarkable. Today a new wave of artists and innovators is carrying on their legacy. The modern Highlands and islands have been shaped by a unique blend of cultures over the last 2,000 years. In the Northern Isles (Shetland and Orkney), the influence of Norse ancestors is still to be found in the arts and dialect, while the Gaelic culture is evident throughout much of the mainland and Western Isles. The eastern part of the region has many local traditions that have grown from the Scots language. To this cultural mix add everything from MTV to digital downloads, and you have a wealth of music that ranges from the most traditional to the most contemporary, and which above all, is distinctive, exciting and alive. HAIL (Highlands and Islands Labels) began life in 2000 as a trade group representing the record labels in the area, but has now grown to work with the breadth and depth of the local music industry: from working artists, record labels, promoters and distributors to those involved in training and developing new talent. Our aim is to see the growth of the industry in the Highlands and Islands, and help develop its international reputation. The region has great talent and an excellent track record, and is looking for project partners and networking opportunities both at home and internationally. If you would like to know more about HAIL, its work, or just to find out a bit more about the music in the Highlands and Islands, please get in touch. http://www.hailmusic.com

Jim Sutherland	Producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer. His twenty-year career has ranged across a vast spectrum of musical genres, as well as a string of major commissions for film, TV and theatre. In March 2006 Jim received the Creative Scotland award 2006 for artists of distinction and originality. The reward honours and celebrates leading artists in Scotland and it is amongst the richest arts awards in Europe. In the past two years alone he has, composed scores for several film and TV projects including the multi award winning feature film ‘Festival’( Best film at the British Comedy awards), produced the debut album by hotly-tipped roots/pop combo Aberfeldy, Young Forever, out on Rough Trade, directed a pioneering Scottish/Hungarian live collaboration featuring the renowned Marta Sebestyen and her group Muszikas, and premiered a brand-new multi-media song suite, Cold Weather Dancing, featuring a nine-piece band and live video mixing, commissioned by Glasgow's world-renowned Celtic Connections festival. In 2005 He was keynote speaker at the Musicworks, the UK's New Music Convention and Festival, where he was interviewed by professor Simon Frith Chairman of the Mercury Music Awards As a founder member of pop trio The Lanterns, Jim was signed to Sony as a songwriter in 1997, with the group's debut single "Highrise Town", from their wisely-praised album, Illuminate Yer Heid, earning a UK Top 40 place and a number two in the dance charts. He has performed and recorded with such luminaries as The Chieftains, Plant and Page (Led Zepelin), The Buhndu Boys, Billy Bragg, Emmylou Harris, Maddy Prior and June Tabor and the Shotts and Dyke head pipe band! He has produced more that 60 albums including, Salsa Celtica, Shooglenifty, Savourna Stevenson, The Whistlebinkies and Alyth McCormack . His influential folk tune compositions have been recorded on more than one hundred CDs by artists all over the world. Jim is currently creating and writing music for a European Parading orchestra with 120 musicians that will perform at festivals and large scale celebrations around Europe over a two to three year period. The parading orchestra will include a pipe band from Scotland, a Semana Santa band from Spain, a Bombard section from Brittany and a section from one of the Eastern European countries. The idea will provide a unique opportunity to compose a truly original musical score that explores the creative possibilities that occur when different cultures collide. http://www.jimsutherland.uk.com

John B McKenna	A tad existential, but mostly universal/comprehensible. Folk, bigger than Lo-Fi. Currently radio friendly, although depending on how life treats me, it's subject to change. Written around the world, mostly in Scotland. Recorded in one bedroom/rarely in garage, but always on the same 8 track. 40GB of hard drive space never seemed so small, until recently when "DISKFULL" keeps popping up on lcd screen. Inspired by people who make themselves like King Creosote, by people who get signed up big and remain cool too. Musically influenced by Neil Young, Elliott Smith, King Creosote, Neutral Milk Hotel, Tom Waits, The Elected, and anyone who uses drum machines and synthesisers with organic instrumentation. I also believe Nemis is good, and I don't see a problem with the mailing list. http://www.myspace.com/johnbmckenna

Juno	Enigmatic Glasgow/Fife/Tokyo six piece Juno! have been causing quite a stir on the Scottish scene since a national newspaper review at the turn of the year saw them being compared favourably to Primal Scream and current media darlings Kasabian. Certainly their use of live drums and bass, combined with drum machines, guitars, keyboards and percussion does come together to create a mighty cacophony, but one that’s held together by the blinding rhythmic grooves that underpin it all. Cracking debut EP ‘Wonderful’ was a well-received release that went some way to cementing a reputation the band hope to build on. They’re due to release follow-up EP ‘Higher’ this Spring. Recently Juno appeared on both Vic Galloway's Radio Scotland Air show and had a whole live set played on Radio Magnetic. Juno have also appeared on The Pin Up Clubs ‘best of ‘compilation and are due to appear on a local charity CD. Most recent claim to fame is supporting Data Panik at their Christmas gig at King Tut's. http://www.junovision.co.uk juno@junovision.co.uk

Kat Flint	Young and lost, witty and wise, beauty with bite and a hangover - Kat Flint is one of the most engaging acoustic artists around, with a rapidly growing following, a distinctive way with words and a reputation for intimate live shows radiating her peculiar blend of energy, sarcasm and indie-folk charm. Her eloquent tales of junkyard prostitutes, the end of the world and life in the fearsome crowd have won many admirers, and debut release 'The Secret Boy's Club' is a love letter to the children we were, the adults we become and the places we make for ourselves in the world. Recorded in a living room on a shoestring, with an ear for a good tune, a mischievous sense of fun and an ever-expanding arsenal of playschool instruments (and cardboard boxes), it's a slice of the good, old-fashioned lyrical wrapped in the home-made whimsical. Kat is the winner of the inaugral New Lyric Award, presented by Ray Davies and Channel 4, and spent March touring with Rough Trade's folk darling Cara Dillon, playing 16 dates across the UK as chief tour support, having been hand-picked by Cara and Rough Trade despite being unsigned and unheard-of. Born in Barbados, raised in Aberdeen and coming of age in Edinburgh, she now splits her time between London and Glasgow. She quite likes trains, which is a good thing really... http://www.myspace.com/katflint katflint@hotmail.co.uk

Keser	Band Bio - Keser is a Scottish post rock electronica duo comprising of David Reid (bass) and Kevan Whitley (guitar). Their sound has its roots in the Glasgow underground guitar music scene of the late 90's where they studied for 4 years and witnessed transcendental bands such as 'Aereogramme', 'Mogwai' and 'Arab Strap' first hand. Fusing the guitar style of that lauded era with synthesised beats has resulted in a new progressive form of guitar-based seraphic electronica. Ambient and ethereal sounds elevate subtly, building up into crushing waves and returning back again. The vaporous instrumentals and melodic chimings are only anchored by the electro beats and unconditional ambience throughout. This musical and life metaphorical mentality is evident on every track. Their debut album 'Esoteric Escape' has captured both their live feel and refined recordings into 12 tracks and diverges into the realms of post rock melodic electonica, sounds which seem to aptly soundtrack a person's journey.. Be it through life or simply on a bus trip.. 6 billion people can't be wrong. -Keser are releasing their first studio album entitled 'Esoteric Escape', out on Alex Tronic Records on August 28th, 2006. www.alextronicrecords.co.uk http://www.keser.co.uk

They sound like a young REM having tea with the Pixies, with Bono locked outside and shouting to get in. They are "destined for beyond the indie disco and pub scene". Which is nice. Kid Canaveral are David MacGregor (Vox & Guitar), Kate Lazda (Vox & Guitar), Rose McConnachie (Bass & Vox), Dan Sheehy (Drums). They are now based in and around St Andrews and Edinburgh.

King Tuts Wah Wah Hut	King Tut's Wah Wah Hut is one of Glasgow's leading concert venues, renowned in Scotland as an exciting showcase for new and emerging bands and as the venue that supported some of the UK music industry's biggest names at the start of their careers. Owned and managed by Scotland's foremost music promoters DF Concerts, King Tut's has throughout its twelve-year history played host to bands including Radiohead, Blur, Travis, Pulp and The Verve before they reached the heights of music superstardom. It also hosted the first Scottish gigs for Beck, Crowded House and The Strokes, and created a piece of rock and roll history as the venue where Oasis were first spotted and signed in 1993. King Tut's was founded in 1990 by DF Concerts' former boss Stuart Clumpas. Keen to promote bands at club level and to present them seven days a week at a reasonable hour of the day in Glasgow, Clumpas was unable to find any suitable venues in the city centre so decided that the best solution was to start one himself. Borrowing the name from a venue in New York, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut opened in February of that year in basement premises in Glasgow's St Vincent Street, aiming from the outset to offer Scotland's best line up of new and established bands, as well as being a relaxing place to enjoy good food and drink. Within months King Tut's was established as the place to hang out for Glasgow's music lovers and for bands and music fans visiting the city, with a host of part time musicians and artists signing up for jobs behind the bar. Each month the promoters presented an eclectic mix of music acts to a loyal audience, who were appreciative of the promoters' talent for being one step ahead in spotting the music industry's Œnext big thing'. This is evident from King Tut's programmes throughout the decade, no more so than in May 1993 when The Verve, Radiohead and Oasis all played within a two week period, and when ŒGlass Onion' were a regular attraction in the days before they changed their name to Travis. Pulp, Suede, Gomez, Barenaked Ladies, Catatonia, Beck, Ash, Supergrass, the Charlatans, Deacon Blue, Rae & Christian and Mercury Rev have all taken to the stage throughout the years to play for the King Tut's crowd. And regardless of a band's stature, the philosophy behind King Tut's has remained constant - an extension of DF Concerts' commitment to professionalism and support for artists at all levels. This ethos has not gone unnoticed by the bands, and the venue received the ultimate accolade at T in the Park 1999 when the Manic Street Preachers dedicated a song to "King Tut's, the first venue to treat us properly and give us hot food on tour". Having reached legendary status in the music business, King Tut's decided to branch out in 1999 with the launch of a monthly comedy night where the likes of Phil Kay, Lynn Ferguson and Fred MacAuley have taken to the stage, alongside some of Scotland's rising young comics. In February 2000 King Tut's celebrated its decade at the forefront of music with ten days of special one-off concerts, parties and surprise guests, and a renewed commitment to providing a platform for bands and to bringing the best new acts to Glasgow in the future. November 2001 saw King Tut's being named as the ŒLicensed Music Pub of the Year' by the Scottish Licensed Trade News and in 2002 the venue is enjoying a new look with a £25,000 refurbishment of the upstairs bar. The venue has also recently been successful in its application for a 1am license, giving even more bands the chance to play to the King Tut's crowd. In recognition of the fact that a gig at the three hundred capacity venue has become the seminal point in the career of an impressive array of artists, Radio One pronounced King Tut's as the ŒBest Launch Pad Venue 2000' and the ŒUK's Best Live Venue' in 2002. We're building an archive of all things King Tuts so if you have any fond memories of nights at King Tut's or if you have any memorabilia from back in the day, please drop us an email at Info@kingtuts.co.uk or post an entry on our Forum. http://www.kingtuts.co.uk

The 'Stepping Stone' showcases were set up between 'Kingsonic Promotions' and 'Mandragora Productions' primarily as a showcase event for Scottish Central-belt unsigned acts to perform to A&R personnel but to also introduce themselves to new and wider audiences in a welcoming, professional and hassle-free environment. 'Kingsonic Promotions' also provide help in designing press packs, promote bands who embark on U.K. tours and give free advice to all in need. All this and the fact that 'Kingsonic Promotions' also provide a full quality backline for the 'Stepping Stone' showcases at 'The Cathouse' in Glasgow reaffirms that 'Kingsonic Promotions' provide an unrivalled level of professional service for un-signed acts in Central Scotland. The 'Stepping Stone' showcases also allow unsigned acts, who provide larger audiences, the opportunity to be considered for supports for touring bands and has been responsible for gaining several major support slots with touring acts since 1999.

Kobai	Kobai are a six-piece Electro-Rock band from Glasgow who formed in early 2004. Striving for a contemporary, riff orientated sound, Kobai mix, fat elctronic synth riffs with heavy, angular guitar layers. Driving behind the band, the powerful rhythm section create the perfect hybrid of rock and dance. All members age between 19-22 and have a wealth of live experience between them and a passion for the music they create. The band are currently gigging around the Glasgow area and beyond.

Kodiak	Kodiak is not an island, or a bear. Kodiak is a four-piece band, Gianni Lawson, Steve Fionda, David Quinn and Rick Smith, hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. The band formed mid-2004, via ways and means which are far too complicated to go into here. Let's just say it was more of a collision than a merge. Kodiak have managed to incorporate a refreshingly diverse range of influences into their own unique brand of rock-a-pop-a-funk-a-soul. Crossing genres like freeways, you may just find a jazz beat or a reggae riff behind that soaring chorus. Hooky melodies blend into bombastic guitars over funky basslines and driving beats, to create a gloriously hummable and memorable noise. It will make sense. Sense like nothing else you have heard. Gianni Lawson writes, sings, and grooves, keeping his stage presence under lock and key until the gig for fear of reprisals. Steve Fionda writes, plays guitar, sings backing vocals, and rocks, usually enough to wake your neighbours. That's right - your neighbours. David Quinn writes, plays bass, sings backing, and has an arse like a metronome no man could manufacture. Rick Smith writes, drums, and can be found in that funky little pocket between tight and solid. There's a real spark to Kodiak that you have to hear for yourself - a fusion of influences from each band member create a sound that is as unique as it is accessible. There is no point in listing influences, unless you can imagine Tool, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder and Bono starting up a band in your garage. So we won't. Kodiak is not an island, or a bear. Don't take our word for it - visit our forum to hear what's being said, download our latest e.p. and live tracks, and read what the music press are already saying about Kodiak. http://www.kodiakweb.co.uk info@kodiakweb.co.uk phone: 07017 005 439
Komodo	http://www.myspace.com/komodorock
Kordoba	Kordoba is an alternative indie rock band from Aberdeen, Scotland. We were formed in November of 2004, from a mutual desire to simultaneously exercise and harness the cathartic power of rock music. We preach anger, not angst, combining railing lyrics and rattling guitars with a rich sense of the supernatural and the mysteries of our world. Our work is in many ways a reflection of the ethos of bitter cynicism which is our modern Scottish heritage. The cynicism comes in many flavours as our style is varied and in places complex. We also believe there is more to life than this. We believe in bringing down the false positivism and legalistic morality which misrepresents the alternative to our modern day nihilism. We believe in an objective, foundational real love, freedom, purpose, God, from which all that is beautiful flows. But Kordoba is about the human condition. We observe and construe humanity. We hope you identify with our work. whatever the state of mind, whatever the song. The self-loathing and the selfishness, the grey-tinged euphoria and the loneliness, the sin... and the longing for fulfilment. Kordoba. Because your emptiness needs to be defined. And re-defined. http://www.kordoba.co.uk
KT Tunstall	KT Tunstall is a sparkling new songwriter with Chinese blood, a Scottish heart, great legwarmers and a cool name - "well, it's got a bit more attitude than Kate which just says farmer's daughter to me," she laughs. KT celebrates classic singer-songwriting in the tradition of Rikki Lee Jones, Carol King and Fleetwood Mac with an articulate, accessible, immediate brew of rootsy sass, wistful quandary and after-hours atmosphere. The latest in a line of outstanding contemporary Scottish songwriters including Texas, Fran Healy, Teenage Fanclub and The Beta Band, KT's unique perspective offers a rare emotionally connecting intensity through it's gripping lyrical bite and heartfelt melody. She grew up in the university town of St Andrew's ("beautiful but sheltered, a little bubble"), always knowing she had been adopted at birth. "I grew up knowing I could have had a million different lives. It makes your life mysterious and your imagination go wild." Her debut album 'Eye To The Telescope' is the creative consequence of that inquiring imagination. "My songs examine and explore little specific emotions or situations or stories," she explains. "They're kitchen table songs, like a conversation between me and one other person. It's almost like an alien has been sent to get emotional samples from human beings and put it all together on a record." KT spent her childhood up hills and under canvas with her outward-bound parents. Music was never really part of the equation until her older brother discovered the joys of hair metal. "I would sit outside his room and record his music through his door." Her first album was the Never-ending Story soundtrack, but her favourite, reassuringly, is David Bowie's 'Hunky Dory'. "Its sound really touched my love for songwriting and spacey stuff," she says. "I was really into sci-fi books as a kid. My dad is a physicist and he used to take my brothers and I into his lab when we were little. We played games with liquid nitrogen and Van de Graaff generators. He had the keys to the observatory at St Andrew's University and he'd get us up in the middle of the night to show us Halley's Comet. That's partly why the album is called 'Eye To The Telescope.'" The young active KT took up piano, then flute and gradually her singing voice developed its earthy individuality, "I'm pretty certain that I learned how to sing because someone gave me an Ella Fitzgerald tape - she was my singing teacher." By her mid-teens, KT had started writing her own songs, "but I was just coming out with this schmaltzy love nonsense. It was a complete vomit of puppy love. But I thought I was rocking." At 16, she took up the guitar, teaching herself from a busker's book. Schmaltz was junked; a musical epiphany ensued. Hungry for experiences and independence, she gained a scholarship to Kent School in Connecticutt, New England and absorbed gigs by The Grateful Dead and 10,000 Maniacs. She also formed her first band, The Happy Campers, and played a host of informal gigs. "By the second week of playing an open mic slot I was their 'special guest from Scotland!'," she recalls. Next stop on her personal odyssey was a music course at Royal Holloway College, where she tried and failed to form another band. "I managed to win Battle Of The Bands with one mandolin player! It was me and eleven goth bands and I won." After vanquishing the goths, KT returned to St Andrews and became immersed in the grassroots scene which spawned The Beta Band and the Fence Collective, forming a group with Fence's Pip Dylan and honing her tastes with an ambrosial diet of James Brown, Lou Reed, Billie Holliday, Johnny Cash and PJ Harvey. A few years and bands later, it was crunch time for Tunstall. She hit London again where, finally, things started to fall into place. Working relationships were forged, deals were secured. She began writing projects with Swedish songwriter/producer Martin Terefe and London-based Orcadian Jimmy Hogarth and London's Tommy D. With over a hundred songs in her pocket, set to work on her debut album with her new band and legendary U2/New Order/Happy Mondays producer Steve Osborne at the helm. "Steve was producer and engineer - he did everything. He even invited me to stay with him and his family so we could work longer. We recorded the album in this gnarly little studio in the woods in Wiltshire. It was this disabled guy's house. The vocal booth was the wheelchair ramp between his bedroom and the control room. So you could either sing going downhill or uphill. It was perfect, so raw. He's got this little shack in the garden where all the local bands rehearse. It was like Deliverance." Minus the psychopathic locals, presumably. And no duelling banjos either. "I didn't want to take too much equipment into the studio because it's when you have to be inventive that you get interesting music. Tom Waits said if you want something to sound like a cardboard box being hit with a boot, then hit a cardboard box with a boot." This lo-fi, visceral, boot-wielding approach was inspired by KT's recent conversion to the hiss and crackle of early blues. "On the whole, I'm a positive, skippity-la-la person but I love the dark side of music and I will always want to explore that. It's a positive-sounding album but there's stuff underneath for sure." Since completing 'Eye To The Telescope', life has been a blur of gigs, first as support to Joss Stone, then a tour of Europe, singing with 'klezmer hip-hop' band Oi Va Voi, who ignited the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury. "It was blazing sunshine and I went on in a turquoise neck muff, glamorous dress and muddy boots and just had the best gig, really emotional. I've had emails from people saying that they cried. They promised it wasn't the drugs." Now KT is raring to channel all her infectious energies into her own music. "I'm not exactly sure what has driven me so hard," she says. "I've never questioned it. I've never had a back-up plan. I was never going to do anything else." http://www.kttunstall.com

Lexxi	Lexxi, named after a pornstar, sounding like the lovechild conceived after a night of passion involving Courtney Love, Foo Fighters, Pixies, Garbage and Metallica, began life at 4am after Louise and Andy took a ride in a shopping trolley one very long night in Glasgow. Craig and Fraser arrived on the scene in more conventional ways shortly afterwards. Since then Lexxi have been putting lust back into distortion with their energetic and captivating live shows that have seen them play a host of venues, both at home and abroad (including Glasgow Carling Academy, Liverpool Barfly, London’s LA2, and Berlin’s Knaack Club), win second place in the Emergenza world final, and support familiar names such as soundtrack of our lives, jason mraz and INME. Audiences are mesmerised by Louise’s every word be it eloquently sexual or heartbreakingly fragile, as her powerful vocals emerge from a backdrop of dirty rock n roll riffs and a pumping rhythm section. Since producing an early demo with Mark Freegard (best known for his work on the Breeders 'Last Splash') Lexxi have continued to develop their unique style of filthy rock in their own studio, deep in the heart of Glasgow's West End. With three European tours in 2005, Lexxi are comfortably in their stride, with every new song delivering something unique but retaining that Lexxi sound. With festival dates booked across Europe this summer, and numerous gigs on home soil, the future looks bright for this young band. Lexxi promise to leave you breathless, sweating and aching for more… http://www.lexxi.co.uk info@lexxi.co.uk

Mapping the Music Industry In Scotland	The music industry in Scotland currently generates in the region of £106 million annually in sales of music and services. This figure can fluctuate greatly within any given year due to such things as release and concert schedules. In addition, the public sector in the shape of the Scottish Arts Council, local authorities and the Scottish Enterprise Network contribute around £18.8 million to the music economy in Scotland. The industry is made up of approximately 2 040 full time employees and 2 003 part time workers. Additionally, hundreds of workers are employed on a short-term basis for events such as festivals and large outdoor concerts. Within Scotland there are personnel working in all the major sectors of the music industry, although several areas (notably distribution and management) are severely underrepresented. The advent of devolution has changed the political oversight of the industry and offers a range of opportunities for future developments. One aspect of this has been an apparent new willingness to work across musical genres and across the public/private sector divide. This approach has the potential to be expanded more fully in relation to the other creative industries. Scotland shares many of the challenges faced by music businesses across the developed world. These include those created by the internet and new technology, the consolidation of major companies in the recording, radio and live music industries, increased competition from large multinational companies and the decline in the number of artists being signed by the Òbig fiveÓ major labels. While investment by the major labels in Scottish artists has declined, investment by international companies in the Scottish live music scene has increased. This is indicative of the fact that live music is one of the most successful sectors in the music industry in Scotland. The retail sector is also buoyant, with Scottish consumers spending in the region of £330.9 million a year on musical instruments and live and recorded music. The amount spent on recorded music is proportionate to the UK expenditure, and although there is a worldwide trend away from the purchase of recorded music from traditional, independent shops to a combination of purchases from the internet and large multiple retailers, supermarkets and petrol stations, the success of Fopp shows that there are still market niches which retailers can exploit. The amount spent on musical instruments and equipment (£21.75 million) suggests that there is still a healthy interest in music as both a career and a leisure activity in Scotland. http://www.scottishmusicdirectory.com

Misfits	Misfits is Edinburgh's newest alternative night, playing a mash of Indie/Electro/Punk/Rock. Misfits aims to be more than just your run-of-the-mill alternative night, it intends to build a community of clubbers, united across the splintered genres in a common appreciation of all that is alt/indie. At the heart of it is the website - www.misfitsonline.co.uk - which allows the clubbers to network online, interact on the forums, and log requests for the DJ to track down in advance of the next night. We don't do musical elitism, believing instead that the clubbers should mould the night as much as the DJ - requests made online, as well as on the night, guide us on our way to achieving this. It's a social experiment of sorts, or clubbing for the myspace generation if you prefer. You could of course just view it as an excuse to go out and mingle with good looking folk whilst listening to a soundtrack that you've influenced. http://www.misfitsonline.co.uk

Mr Greenfinger	In these dark days of boy-bands, pop 'idols' and manufactured shite, is the world truly ready for a band who really are only here to entertain ? Commanding the stage like a funked-up AC/DC, Mr Greenfinger will rock you and roll you, they will cause you to gyrate wildy, and they will make you smile.....yes, and maybe even HAVE A GOOD TIME ! Full on party music is what you get with Mr G. No holds barred, kick-ass rock'n'roll, with a healthy nod to the ska and reggae they love so much, all combined with a large dose of ranting Scotsman, not seen since the likes of the Sensational Alex Harvey himself. They only have one official release to date, a four track ep entitled "This Time Next Year" which came out in December 2002 on their own Slinky G label. However they are hoping to record their first album very soon (funds permitting as always !) http://www.mrgreenfinger.com band@mrgreenfinger.com

His primary influences are Morrissey/The Smiths and Arab Strap, with such diverse acts as Radiohead and The Streets even finding their way to the mix (he doesn't try to rap though, so don't worry). At the moment, Andy only performs solo at 'open mic' nights, and you can find him in the basement of the Tron most Sunday nights, getting in his tuppence worth for 15 minutes. However, he will probably be appearing about the fair city of Edinburgh in a more official capacity, hopefully, in the not-so-distant future. http://www.myspace.com/andyhill

One Hundred Owls	Derived from an incessant need to write alone and without chatter, the goal of One Hundred Owls is to hash out whatever may come, accept all mistakes and to revert back to the Roman-Greco ideology of divine spirits leading the artist like vessels, effectively removing the ego. Referred to as Japanese obstructionist pop, OHO is best described as a cantankerous poodle making sweet, sweet love to Metric's second album whilst listening to the muses of Hesse and under the influence of benzodiazepine. http://www.onehundredowls.com

Pablo Gone Nuts!	A four piece band from Glasgow that enjoy a good old musical gallivant! The band formed in May 05 and instantly began writing with the common goal to induce emu filled joy in everyones life this goal instantly died after the realisation that ducks are better!

Page 6	Page 6 like to keep it simple. Back in 2003, the four guys got together and started jamming out some songs. Over the next couple of years it has been a process of finding "the sound", they always knew it would be different to your run of the mill bands around but this was and is one of their strengths. Along the way, they have done the customary gigs all around the country to earn their badges, attracting a wide range of loyal fans on a national level. Other achievements include national airplay on many a radio station as well as regular road shows with Tay FM and a live session for Northsound Radio. The height of the bands success came in the summer of 2004 when they reached the Scottish Final of the Sony World Wide Battle of the Bands competition. The band managed to beat hundreds of other bands to be in the final 12 and rewarded with a show at the Carling Academy in Glasgow to a full house, with base player Graham winning the prize for best base player in the competition. After a few offers of management, the band took on Cara Anderson, who had experience working with a variety of high profile bands, including Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro, Terra Diablo and The Cinematics. Over the past 6 months, the band took some time to write new songs, define the image and ultimately present a fresh new package to take the industry by storm! Since returning the band have played a handful of gigs but there is a real buzz, with legions of new fans turning up to the shows, it is an exciting time ahead. They have recently recorded their new EP - due for release in July - with Marcus from Divingbell Studios in Glasgow and are already receiving interest from a number of labels. Page 6 can be summed up by the live performance. Anyone who has seen them will know what I mean, any who hasn't should get down to see them where you can and bounce away! As a result of a gig at the Carling Academy on Sunday 3rd July, the boys have secured a distribution deal with FOPP records and received more money for recording and artwork for the EP. http://www.page6music.com cara@page6music.com

Path Records	Path Records was founded in January 1999 by John Hutchison, then owner of the music venue The Path Tavern in Kirkcaldy. A family run pub since 1962, The Path that year won Scottish Licensed Trade News Music Pub of The Year beating off stiff competition from every licensed venue in the country, an award which it was to narrowly miss out on in 2001 coming in as runner up to none other than Glasgow’s King Tut’s. Behind the label was a wish to both promote the venue and provide an outlet for the undoubted musical talent which existed at the time in Fife, with several excellent bands having no other window to promote their music to a larger audience. Path Records has since released 6 singles by four different acts three of whom hailed from Fife. http://www.pathrecords.co.uk

Performing Rights Society Scotland (PRS)	Established in 1914, the Performing Right Society (PRS) is a non-profit making membership organisation of composers, songwriters, authors and publishers of music of all styles - including classical, pop, jazz and music for films, adverts and TV. The essential function of PRS is to collect and distribute music royalties on behalf of its members. The Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society (MCPS), established in 1924, is a not-for-profit organisation which currently represents over 16,000 composers, songwriters and music publishers. What does PRS do? PRS is known as a ‘collecting society’ because its primary role is collecting royalties from music users in the UK who every day publicly perform, broadcast and include music in cable production services. PRS also collects royalties from around the world for its members through reciprocal agreements with collecting societies overseas. PRS collects the royalties by issuing a licence to the music user (usually charged on an annual basis). In order to then make royalty payments to its members, PRS needs to know what music is being played. Major users, such as the BBC and large concert venues, give PRS detailed reports of the music they play. For many other venues including commercial discos, clubs and pubs, PRS sends researchers to obtain first hand information. With an estimated 8 billion public performances in the UK every year it is not possible to track every one. To pay out these royalties, statistical methods are used based on actual performance information. PRS is a non-profit making organisation. Having recovered its running costs it pays all the remaining money collected to the members identified, both UK and overseas. http://www.prs.co.uk

After leaving school in 1967, he worked as an apprentice engineer during the day and played guitar in local bars and clubs in the evenings. From his teens to his early twenties he performed solo and in a variety of bands playing styles ranging from Country Western & Folk to Pop.

Peter is now an accomplished musician, composer and songwriter, who writes and produces a mixed variety of material under his own label ‘Peter Coia Music’.
