Foxgang are an international 4-piece that have been based in Glasgow for a year. They will release their new track "Leith Walk" on tentracks.co.uk alongside acts such as Bjork, Frightened Rabbit and Punch and the Apostles and have a new EP out called 'My Paper Harbour'. The band was formed by a Geordie front-man and an American guitarist living in Krakow, where they spent a year and a half gigging, recording and attracting media attention from national press and radio. They've played with a few excellent English, Polish and Scottish musicians along the way. contact at foxgangs@gmail.com to join the foxgang mailing list to receive information on upcoming gigs and other chat
SELECTED REVIEWS:-
I'll be honest, I didn't get Foxgang first time I heard them (on CD, not live, otherwise i'd most definitely have got it!) There was a cynicism and melancholia in their music that wouldn't normally appeal to me, but what I was missing was the intellect and the over-riding optimism, just listen to Nichola to get an idea of the Foxgang experience. Throw in insanely talented musicians from around the world, a wealth of influences, and the most compelling frontman i've seen in any local band, and you're onto a winner. If it's light indie fluff you're after, steer clear, but if you want a band with intelligence, energy and balls, get Foxgang to your party!.....................FlatBeat mg...
Their stuff sounds quite mod-like at times, and has a good, funky beat underlying much of it and of course, most importantly, some bloody good tunes.

The above was done by FG's new producer and in-house at King TUTS Alisdair Macdonald! The footage is from a mobile phone but Ali rushed down and made a swift lo-fi recording through the desk, with his skills both at mixing and arguing with Ryan when out on the lash, he gave it some nice jangley indie beef. Alisdair is available for live recording at Tuts but I promise he's honest i.e. gives his opinion, know what I mean?
