   About I FLY SPITFIRES
There's only so many places your garunteed of getting a hug when you leave

I Fly Spitfires has been making inroads in the lagging Edinburgh music scene for the past two years. Their constant commitment to bringing Scotland's Capital the newest and best live music coupled with their passion for recorded music from across the spectrum of popular music designed for dancing has revitalised Scotland's capital and it's revellers.

This enthusiasm and eye/ear for quality has put them at the forefront of Scotland's young promoters and gained them a sponsorship with Drowned in Sound, Europe's most visited music website.

Although the clubnight which gave them their reputation opened it's doors for the last time in October 2007, I Fly Spitfires is still committed to discovering the finest young and upcoming acts and have so far done shows for the likes Foals, Blood Red Shoes, Kate Nash, Los Campesinos!, Good Shoes and Hot Club de Paris, to name a few, over the short time they have been promoting.

* ISOSCELES are amazing. They’re a quartet from Glasgow signed to Art/Goes/Pop- "Its no wonder Isoscles have been tipped as The Next Big Thing." - The Guardian.

* SPORTSDAY MEGAPHONE has been likened to Sonic Youth and getting lost in the Casio section of Toys R' Us; "This dinky, lovely bedroom pop, is indie at its very best" – The Guardian

* ENVELOPES are a French/ Swedish 5 piece. They are now touring their second, highly anticipated and critically acclaimed album 'Here Comes The Wind':

"It may be too early to crown the top release of 2008, but Envelopes already sound like strong contenders on their charming, cheeky, tune-packed second" - Uncut.

"Occasionally, a record comes along and hits you right between the sex glands. This is that record….a rubber band of skewed post-punk pop genius" – Artrocker

AMPBOX is primarily a club night; but when the chance came to have Envelopes play Scotland an exception had to be made. Don't miss them play an intimate venue with such amazing support.

After The Sleepless Crew and Boy 8-Bit ripped the wee red apart last
month we felt we had a lot to live up to… we've put our heads
together, and feel we've done just that..

*KONX-OM-PAX, tom has been on the music scene for years- having DJed
alongside the likes of Autechre, Vex'd and Modeselecker, he's now
gone on to set up his own label – Display Copy. Expect a very mixed
record bag of tunes straight out the top draw.

*HUDSON MOHAWKE- this is a guy to keep a very close eye on. He's been
rolling with Glasgow's LuckyMe crew for a while now and has just been
signed to the legendary Warp Records- joining the likes of Jimmy
Edgar, Luke Vibert, Squarepusher and Aphex Twin, among many others. He
was a DMC finalist at the tender age of 15 so really knows his way
around a set of decks- mixing a bit of everything- hip hop, balitmore,
soul, grime, techno….the list goes on. He's really is not to be
missed.

*FISK- Up and coming producer/ DJ from London been in demand all over
the world including Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina, Canada and the
US alongside the likes of Chemical Brothers, Justice, Boys Noize and
Yuksek. He's been knocking out some awesome remixes and productions on
Koda and Jardim Records and getting props from the likes on Mixmag,
DJmag and all those lovely blogger types..

All this packed into the Wee Red Bar!? needless to say we're slightly excited….
