Sounds Like
A pistol duel between the greatest musicians you can imagine, ever; with wolves and flame throwers and stuff. Or a polite discussion over tea with The Velvet Underground about Pet Sounds and Autobahn.
Having thrilled and delighted audiences from London to New York over the last few years, Miyagi launched their long-awaited debut album ‘Lucky Face’ ('inspirational' The List, 'hellishly infectious' Peter McGee) in their hometown of Edinburgh in December 07. The album was an independent release but with tracks receiving airplay on Radio 1, XFM Scotland, BBC 6Music, Radio Tameside and Radio Scotland amongst others, the band attracted record label interest and released ‘Dragonfly’ as a download single on Slow Train Records at the start of September 08. The single has received glowing reviews and extensive airplay, with Vic Galloway (BBC Radio 1) amongst others championing the song and the band - the perfect way to round off the summer after greatly received appearances at the Wickerman Festival, Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and Dunstaffnage Festival. The band have been locked away over winter feverishly working on album number two into which, despite the cold, they have imbued a distinctly sunny tone. 2009 will see the band continue to take their exhilarating live show on tour around the UK, and with a summer album release on the cards it looks set to be another exciting year.
"Like a cross between the Beach Boys, Johnny Cash and the Vampire band in From Dusk Till Dawn"
The Village Voice, New York
“The band possess charisma and personality in abundance, and have a magnetic stage presence”
T Break Review 2007
“Their eclectic mix of instruments and multiple vocal harmonies pitches the sound somewhere between Devendra Banhart and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. They are indeed a talented bunch of lads.”
The Skinny
“Their unique blend of Dick Dale surf, blistering Rhythm and blues, Rock’n’Roll and haunting misty eyed country all conspire to create flawless and original songs that will leave you longing for more. We just cannot evangelize enough about this band!
