   About ballboy

ballboy are 3 boys and 1 girl from Edinburgh in Scotland. We have been making independent music since November 5 1999 which was the launch date of our first ep - Silver Suits for astronauts.

Since then we have released 4 albums:

Club anthems 2001
A Guide for the Daylight Hours
The Sash My Father Wore and Other Stories
The Royal Theatre
(Album 5 is in the pipeline)

We have toured the UK too many times to count and have been lucky enough to tour the USA and Sweden also (not forgetting one memorable snowy, drunken show in Berlin too).

We have a monthly podcast which you can listen to here:


Or you can subcribe to through iTunes or an RSS Feed reader, or you can download it directly from the ballboy website here.

You can also find Gordon's other musical project here:

You are very welcome to listen to our music and let us know what you think.

Enjoy!

Oh man, I soooo need to keep up with what you guys are doing!! Cant believe its 2 yrs nearly since I last saw you with Moneycantbuymusic!! The years keep going by faster and they disappear in the blink of an eye :-/

Hope everything is swell - oops, missing another album which I must get and oh my I Need Two Hearts is gorgeous! So pleased to see still writing lovely as ever songs! :)

Are you touring this way again anytime in near future (school holidays and all that jazz...) ?
