   About castaway
The band has recently been tipped as one to watch by Vic Galloway of BBC Radio1 and Tom Robinson of BBC 6 music who was quoted saying “If a band can sound that good at this stage in their career just think where they can take it later”. Castaway a five piece band from Glasgow who formed four years ago from the ashes of two rival bands. Since then they have managed to create a unique sound combining electro, psychedelica and rock stemming from their influences of Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Kings Of Leon, Travis, Oasis, Pink Floyd, Coldplay and Muse.


Some of the main highlights have seen the band open for the likes of The Feeling and Kate Nash. They were also invited by DF concerts to open for The Happy Mondays at The Edinburgh Corn Exchange as part of T on the Fringe with. Saturday August 30th saw them launch their first EP “The Beginning of the Masquerade” at The Classic Grand in Glasgow. This is now available to download from itunes and buy in CD format from Fopp and Avalanche record stores. Early 2010 will see them release thier first single and 2nd EP.

Hey, am working this weekend so cannae get to the gig   Keep me posted on futures tho, cos Jake wants to come along as well once she's better.  She's had a lung infection and been in hospital.  If she was a dog she'd have been put down by now!!!  Aye, we need to see the new line up, and probably need to get photos as well......don;t forget about me!!!!

Alright lads,

Only managed to catch your soundcheck last night at the Classic Grand, but it sounded superb.  Your singer's got some pipes on him.

Hopefully gig with you at some point.
