Indie/
rock band based in
Edinburgh,
Scotland, fronted by
Davey Henderson. According to
music magazine the
NME, they are "
Edinburgh's premier voodoo beat seditionists." They play a dark
alternative rock music, influenced by the likes of
Sonic Youth in its
guitar textures.
They have collaborated with poet Jock Scot in a number of ventures. Scot contributed some verse called Just Another Fucked-Up Little Druggy On The Scene to the Saint Jack album, and the band played on his My Personal Culloden album.
They are noted for their excellent song titles, such as Couldn't phone potatoes, Adidas Francis Bacon, This Arsehole's Been Burned Too Many Times Before, Clipped Wings & Flower Stings; however, these are often the most interesting part of their music.
