Independence hail from Dundee on
the East Coast of Scotland. We've been gigging for about 10 years. There has been a few line up changes
along the way.
We are a gigging, rock covers band travelling the length and breadth of gods country..
Scotland, with the occasional foray into our southern cousins land.
You'll see by our influences some
of the music we cover, but we like to think we do so much more.
We also have on occasion written and
recorded our own material. We uploaded some of it. We are gonna keep updating this bio when we get more
time, so we'll sign off just now..
UPDATE: A wee bit more about the band, seeing as we have a bit
o' spare time, as we said at the top of the bio, we have been going for around 10 years, didn't have a
name for the band (in fact weren't really a band as such) but had written "Stand Together", as you can
hear, it is kinda patriotic and the name Independence just seemed to fit right with how we felt at that
time.
Now, one thing we will put straight....we are not anti English (Please listen to the words and
you'll see that it is not aimed at the ordinary English person). We don't push any political views on our
audience. Hey! we're a rock band that want to get people to have a great time. However, we do play on the
"Caledonian Angle" (that's the ancient name for Scotland by the way). Cover lots o'Scottish bands, we Fly
the Flag, have a Kilted Frontman etc. We love playing classic rock covers by Zeppelin, AC/DC, Purple,
Hendrix etc, but equally its great to belt out a Proclaimers number. (ALWAYS a floor filler from a city
centre pub to a Harley Bike rally).
Hey how's things? We'd just like to tell you that we're playing in Dexters Bar this saturday (28th november) around 3 till 6. If you're free come down! Peace and Love.. the hot tamales x
