"Alkotron" are Paul on Bass , Gilbert on Guitar and Gerry on drums. Our main aim is to play the tunes the more discernable among us would view as food for the ears. After years of trying to conform to a sound which was viewed as either cool or contemporary , we decided enough is enough of this shit....and formed Alkotron.
We decided from the off that only our opinion counts about what we play and in what style and believe whoever wants or indeed cares to have a listen will find something most agreeable within.
Doing it now purely for the music , check out a gig , drop us a message ,give us a chance and you may just get one titanic dirty surprise!!!

DUB PUNKS AND SHOCK AND AWE LIVE TONIGHT AT THE ARK IN EDINBURGH.....IF YOU CAN MAKE IT BRING A CRASH HELMET!.............
Being as "all the (esprit) ladies want a lover man from Aberystwyth", exceptionally swell Welsh electro hiphop duo Convoi Exceptionnel are joining us for esprit3 on October 14th. To our ears guitarist and singer Glyn Langham and rapper and synthesist Megamegaman have a wonderfully fresh take on the disparate genres they enjoy, striding through hip-folk-hop and electro-rap. Souls who have previously stated a hatred for folk-rap have been known to completely re-evaluate their musical prejudices on hearing a single track on Convoi's myspace. And all you connoisseurs, I'll see you representin' front center with your rhymenocerous tees on.
ACID FASCISTS + THE KNAVEMEN + ALKOTRON will be delivering a garage-punk, rock'n'roll assault... Henry's Cellar Bar, Edinburgh. Friday 2nd October. 11PM. www.myspace.com/theknavemen www.myspace.com/alkotron
