We have been gigging in Scotland since summer 2008 and at the beginning of this year released a three track sampler CD entitled In Case of Emergency. The sampler was self-recorded, mixed and produced at our home studio. Copies of it have made it as far away as Kuala Lumpur.
We had our first airplay on Vic Galloway's BBC Radio One show, Scotland Introducing, where they were chosen to be included in his Back of the Net feature, which aims to feature the best free new Scottish music downloads available on the internet. We've recently been interviewed by Leith FM, the first time in Feb of this year exclusively previewing In Case of Emergency, and the second time in June to perform a live acoustic set. Tracks from the sampler have also been featured on other podcasts.

Hi Lesley, Thanks for the add and the cool comment. You guys are sounding great and should do well. Not gigging just now but looking for people to start jamming with again. Keep me posted on you guys. All the very best for now, Tam.
Sorry I have been rubbish getting back to you. don't know when Oliwa will be playing next, as we're drummerless at the moment, but I am sure it will be soon. I have taken up amatuer gig promtion in order to raise funds for my hockey. Let me know when you guys are gigging again. If you fancy popping along to my first show its on the 1st August at Henry's Cellar Bar. It should be rocking.Anyway hopefully soon. Ta, Rich x
I had an emergeny and couldn't figure out what to do but then I found your demo, read your name and alas, everything was okay. I knew what to do! Thanks for the advice, heehee
