NEXT GIG .......

Photobucket

Alex Fenton and John Hammond met studying music technology at Edinburgh University in 2003.

After a couple of years writing and playing acoustic sets under our former name (The Mile), we decided that we could be more than just another guitar band - and besides, we couldn't find a drummer or bassist to contribute to the immensely creative process that had already begun. So at this point, we began a journey - a two man journey into the powerful sonic world of Flying With Penguins.

Flying With Penguins are an electronic duo based in Edinburgh. Backgrounds in guitar music and a heavy dose of electronic influence results in a combination of funky breaks, weaving synths, catchy guitar hooks, powerful vocals and realtime looping creating experimental yet accessible songs, exciting when performed live.

Artist influences include The Postal Service, Bonobo, New Order, The Cure, most Drum and Bass, Athlete, Mr Scruff, Imogen Heap, Hot Chip and more. Tunes you can groove to, cry to, sing along to and move to. Each is a journey.

Enter a new world of sound.

No-one has done this before ...

FLYING WITH PENGUINS


"Flying With Penguins impressed us with their fusion of loops and riffs and kept the crowd entertained ... A blend of electronic and traditional instrumentation techniques wrapped up in a memorable performance." - review from our Limbo gig 17/04/08

O- Hi-dee-hi Flying With Penguins (I'm guessing this IS, DEFINITELY your real, proper name, deed poll name- myspace eh :) ) its so very nice to meet your acquaitance, and thanking you muchly for being my (our) friend.

I hope you enjoyed our tunes - I thought you might do judging by the stuff you seem to be into like - if you fancy a couple of our mp3s for you ipod/nonbrandedmp3 player - then just ping me your email address back for our mailing list (info about gigs and the like) OR just click here on these here words and I'll sort that out for you, probably in the next couple of days, quite busy.

Forgive the indulgence Flying With Penguins but I've just worked out how to do this so i'm gonna put it in here - its a video of us playing one of the songs we would send to you live @ Bull and Gate last month just to show you what it may be like (err ok stu) hope thats ok :)

We've got a London gig Friday 11th July (so not really that close to you if I'm being honest ha ha :), but who knows ? and besides, everyone needs a holiday once in a while to remind them of how lucky they are to live somewhere where there are fewer than 10million people in a few square miles:))

Thanks again, Stuart (from Lux Lisbon)

yo alex..

IT'S THE LAST AMPBOX!! yep, its almost over.

we've played a lot of different takes on dance music over the months, but for the last one we wanted to book straight up party DJs that we knew would have the place jumping. we've been thinking about it a long time and done just that-

* ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD (Get Rude, London)
* PRO-VINYLIST-KARIM (Rub-A-Dub, Glasgow)
* JOHN M. J. FARRUGIA (Big Toes HiFi, Edinburgh)

Expect Baltimore Club, Ballie Funk, Hip-Hop, Bassline, Dancehall, Booty Bass, Electro Crunk, Ghetto Gutter House and other made up genres; and if all this isn't enough we're rolling in the Big Toes, 15k, badboy sound system for the occasion. If you've been down before you'll know what to expect, if not, come before you miss the chance. This is going to be one mother of a party.



see you there man
