Brown Bear will be bringing Edinburgh the best in emerging acts from Scotland and beyond. Monthly at Sneaky Pete's.
Essentially, acts for Brown Bear shows will be picked by the BB team. However, if you want to play a Brown Bear show send us a message on this directing us to your sounds or email us at brown.bear@live.co.uk. If we love you, you'll get offered a show.
It's essentially a music review aggregation service, providing a constantly updated chart of critical reaction to releases, with various ways for users to personalise the chart.
We're hoping our site will be another useful way for music lovers to find new music. So if you like it, please use it and also pass on the link.
Where fantasy becomes reality, Confusion Is Sex invites freaks, weirdos, princesses, kings, slaves... CiS is an environment rather than just a music night. It's like walking into a David Lynch set where the weird is normal, giving people the chance to be something they're not.

Lypsync for a Lullaby "Edinburgh's answer to Sigur Ros" "invigorating mix of light and shade. . . Big, big music!"
Foundlings "A fine blend of pin-point almost spoken word vocals and tales of journeys along England’s psychotic autobahns - the spirit of the age." ". . .a kind of My Bloody Valentine for Motorway City times and One More Grain disciples." "Stone Roses for Neu heads!"
The Foundling Wheel "It's beepy, it's insane, it's shouty. It's angry but clever. It makes me want to drive a motorcycle the wrong way down the motorway. Naked." "braiding chromatic sheets of singeing electro-bending between frayed laces of gleaming melody." "Experimental mental music for robots to have sex to"
Just to let you know that we are playing at T in the Park (T break stage) this year! I was just wandering if you are going to the festival and, if so, would you like to come and see our live show. We would really appreciate the support. It's going to be greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat. Type us some words
We are looking for venues (including pubs, village halls, churches
or galleries) and promoters who are active within their own area to
join the Tune Up industry database.
Tune Up, the Scottish Arts Council scheme, currently funds artists and
musicians to tour to many outlying areas. We’d like to increase this
and involve as many new promoters and venues as possible. If you are a
venue or a promoter who is interested in booking a Tune Up show for our
2009/2010 season, add your details to the industry mailing list and
you’ll be contacted shortly.
To be included on the database for 2009/2010 season you need to join the mailing list with immediate effect.
PLEASE REPOST TO YOUR FRIENDS WHO MAY BENEFIT FROM JOINING THE LIST.
With a top-notch line up that’s sure to send out positive vibes across the venue and beyond, you’d be mad to miss it…for advanced tickets (allowing access to gig + Launch Night After-Show Party Featuring: RBRBR DJ set, Guest DJ Olaf Furniss of the The Scotsman & Born To Be Wide, will be playing some of the best bands hailing from 'Auld Reekie', + more Guest DJ's) & Exclusive freebies, sign-up to our mailing list and e-mail us to reserve a place now…see you all there-T.B.J. !

PAPER PLANES myspace.com/glasgowpaperplanes ". . . dance inducing and occasionally air-punching, surf-tinged, indie-pop. . . .disco rhythms and sonic riffs to make teeth grind plus singer Jen's raw yet engaging vocals enrapturing the entire audience . . . guitar based indie/ artrock tinged with a dark surf feel that effortlessly crosses over the boundaries of post-punk. "
THE FOUNDLING WHEEL www.myspace.com/thefoundlingwheel The Foundling Wheel builds noise-saturated, melodic mountains of programmed polyrhythms and bitcrushed distortion . . . "braiding chromatic sheets of singeing electro-bending between frayed laces of gleaming melody." . . . "Experimental mental music for robots to have sex to"
VERSUS: three of Edinburgh’s finest noise-hungry racketeers are set to mash up and pound out a shrill of lug-piercing sonics at the Wee Red. Using a format that’s never before graced an Auld Reekie stage, the Bear Scotland triumvirate of The Foundling Wheel, Dead Boy Robotics and Enfant Bastard will set up concurrently and duel track to track, concocting scintillating aural juxtapositions that ignite the synapses with waves of neuron-transcending clatter.
The Foundling Wheel: builds noise-saturated, melody-laced mountains of programmed polyrhythms and bit-crushed distortion.
Enfant Bastard: circuit-bending drum-machine-addled anti-folk that can rarely be arsed to finish what it started.
