Middleman are a 4-piece indie / rock/ pop band from Kilmarnock, Scotland that formed back in 2000. Theyhave become one of the stalwarts of the local music scene building up a fan base with their clever lyrics,subtle melodies and bounce around the room anthems. Their music combines varied genre styles that somefind difficult to categorise. When asked about this, Wesley replied “We have never tied ourselves to a certainstyle because we have so many influences”, …… “We also like to let the lyrics mean something and beclearly heard”Most recently Middleman have won The-Muzic.com Best Unsigned Song Completion 2007 with theirtrack “We Don't Wanna Go”.In 2006 Middleman were also nominated in the BT DMA Awards for the Best Unsigned Act.With a number of gigs performed over the last two years including being asked to support Dr Dot and herband “Bitchfest” in Berlin on November 9th 2006, and most recently playing an open-air gig at Kilmarnock'sDean Park Courtyard in early June 2007 to the delight of the audience.Their song "Bad Charlotte" (now a fan favourite) made the tabloids in The Daily Record of Scotland (articlebelow).When asked “What message would you like to portray to your fans with your music”, Wesley says “When Ilook at the songs we write I want to inspire others to be assertive and portray self-empowerment, so if youwant something, go get it and not be influenced by negatives saying that you can't achieve your goals. Thatbeing said, I would have to add that we're also about having a good time and not taking everything soserious - I like to make people laugh and be happy.”Middleman are aware of the challenges ahead and have come along way from winning The Rock Garden’sBattle of the Bands back in 2004.
