The Foundling Wheel	Apr 5 2009 12:22 PM Saturday 11th April 7pm SNEAKY PETE'S 73 Cowgate Edinburgh PAPER PLANES myspace.com/glasgowpaperplanes ". . . dance inducing and occasionally air-punching, surf-tinged, indie-pop. . . .disco rhythms and sonic riffs to make teeth grind plus singer Jen's raw yet engaging vocals enrapturing the entire audience . . . guitar based indie/ artrock tinged with a dark surf feel that effortlessly crosses over the boundaries of post-punk. " THE FOUNDLING WHEEL www.myspace.com/thefoundlingwheel The Foundling Wheel builds noise-saturated, melodic mountains of programmed polyrhythms and bitcrushed distortion . . . "braiding chromatic sheets of singeing electro-bending between frayed laces of gleaming melody." . . . "Experimental mental music for robots to have sex to" KUNG FU http://www.myspace.com/themightykungfu Indie-Rock from Kilmarnock
Rob St.John	Apr 2 2009 10:29 AM One of the Scotsman's Top 5 gigs for the week: "Rob St John, The Wee Rogue, Ben Wetherill Saturday 4 April, The Bowery, doors: 7.45 Think of the sound of silence. Now add to it a tender, corkscrewing vocal and a few pulse-stopping melodies and you’ve done it; you’ve pinned down Rob St John. The once singer/songwriter now fully functioning band is an exquisite aural pleasure that never fails to induce the tingle of goose-flesh across UTR’s oh-so-manly self. Set in the Bowery’s haunting halls and supported by The Wee Rogue’s brittle-boned mews and Hack & A Hacksaw collaborator Ben Wetherill, you’d be a fool to miss this one."

Maxwell Panther Online Now!	Jan 10 2009 11:19 PM Hope you don't mind but my guitar still growels and my new recordings are as rough as they normaly are!
Rob St.John	Dec 15 2008 6:17 PM Matthew, you'll hate this,I'm sure Our new release "Like Alchemy EP" is now out on Fife Kills: records. Recorded live overnight in a church in Edinburgh. Full band for the first time: saw/cello/harmonium (pandemonium)/autoharp/double bass etc etc. 250 limited edition stamped and numbered copies in recycled packaging. £4 only through Paypal on the myspace page (www. myspace. com/robstjohn) Some kind folks have said some kind things: “a fragile and haunting thing. St John's guitar jangles discordantly from time to time, the harmonium wheezes gently in the background, and the eerie warblings of a saw occasionally rises from the ether, lending the whole thing a comforting, after-hours feeling reminiscent of James Yorkston or David Thomas Broughton” 4/5 The Skinny magazine “harmoniums, saws and guitars creak and groan into a musical balm and is simply the best and most surprising thing I've heard in ages” Lonesome Music "Like Alchemy is simply one of the best EPs I’ve heard in 2008 and the title track is one of this year’s most beautiful songs. Simple as that.” The Daily Growl “Bill Callahan with more orchestral flair.. Like Alchemy is a mesmerizing and compelling EP from a talented newcomer” Captain Obvious
Mofo Snot	Dec 10 2008 3:14 PM shout out to Toad. p
lonely bones	Dec 10 2008 12:30 PM no biggie! I'll probably see you soon and be nagging you for this drink. :d I'm glad someones finally putting out neils album its about bloody time, it's good to see it getting such great reviews -I've known him since back when he had pink hair (yes hair)so to see these things unfold and his talents evolve so much is brilliant. anyway enough of this verbal spouting I'll probably see you around. take care s
lonely bones	Dec 9 2008 6:13 PM identity revealed... but its no secret because we spoke outside the meursault caves gig a couple saturdays ago and you told me you didn't like my band! me being slightly drunk took it quite bad for a few days after, but that pint you said you'd buy whoever Scott The Thief was will probably make me feel better. ;)
Future Rivals	Nov 25 2008 4:15 PM Hope you can make it! :)
Maxwell Panther Online Now!	Nov 19 2008 4:52 PM Just to say happy birthday old bean.
