Sounds LikeA band that wants to pummel you to within an inch of your life, then nurse you back to health again.

"A Joyous, Glasgow based-based assorted-rock seven piece whose Postcard guitars and boy-girl carnival render "You'd Make a Great Ghost" (self released) ***** Single of The Fortnight. It's a glorious Scottish Dog day anthem. And hell, if its shimmering snares and playground fanfares aren't ripe for a Balearic remix, then I'll eat my Fastfood rockers picture disc. (Nicola Meighan) The List 9-23 Jul - Edition 633

On the surface, Be A Familiar are the sound of young Glasgow, about 18 months ago. But, it doesn’t take long for a far more complex sound to emerge. There’s not enough random off mic shouting from bands, we wholeheartedly approve. And, have the conviction of it guys, handclaps are cool. Welding the melodicism of your Camera Obscuras to a big angry scope. It works. Really well. I find myself thinking this is what Deacon Blue would have been like had they not sucked. And I mean that as a good thing. No, seriously. Tony kiernan - Is this Music?

That was seriously good fun.

Saw you guys last night in Hoots. You were decidedly awesome =D and currently i'm streaming your two singles onto my laptop. Good times!

Also, one of my friends described maria as "rather foxy." And my gay friend described matt as "rather foxy." Bad times. Unless you're into that sorta thing matt i dunno =P

hello familiars
We're really up for it, however we're recording that evening, and i'm not sure if we'll be back in time. However, we'll try and hit tut's on the way back.
Need to try and get that gig together organised at some point?

Mm very lovely that sounds! That was my yoda impression. Did you know that the person who did the voice for yoda also did the voice for grover from sesame street??! Sometimes i sound like grover when i try too hard to hit a high note.

Anyway sadly i cannot make your single launch because i will be working in the grand old town of ayr :( boo. Hope it goes swimmingly though!

Me and band are gigging in sleazys tomorrow btw if you fancy it.xxx

I don't think I'll be able to make it along to the launch, but I'm hoping to make it to the Electric Circus gig the following night, depends on the money situation though, I'm off to Wickerman the following day. Should hopefully be there though =).
