NT and the People Who Use Them enjoyed some wonderful gigs in Edinburgh from Summer 2006 until Spring 2007, before Nick and Joe left for London. Mark has since also made his way down more recently, and we'll be bustin' out all over the big smoke before the winter of 2008 with an extended line-up and some new songs. So there.

A
4 track EP, titled Call Signs, it provides the perfect introduction to
the band prior to the release of their debut album, Grappling Hooks, in
early 2010.
North Atlantic Oscillation's "Hollywood Has Ended", from the forthcoming album Grappling Hooks, is featured in this month's Police Box compilation from TenTracks. It's here:
In case you haven't heard, TenTracks is a new music delivery service where you can buy exclusive 10-track compilations for £1, i.e. a mere 10p per track.
This month NAO are in the illustrious company of the excellent Found, Orkestra Del Sol, Fence Collective luminaries James Yorkston and King Creosote and exactly 5 others. Once again, that's £1 for ALL TEN TRACKS. Not bad, really.
Hear ye, hear ye. After many moons, the Big Hand debut album is finally waiting eagerly in the wings and is set to dazzle upon the main stage of life! Yes, its set for release, and its gonna blow your socks off. So...............
...........to celebrate this wonderful occasion, get your dancing shoes on, and please grace us with your presence at the Bongo Club at 7pm on Friday 8th Feb, for a superspecial limited edition launch gig (and get your hands on a sparkling new copy before the less fortunate outside our good city walls)! Featuring of course ourselves, plus the incredible Bombskare, and many guest musicians from your favourites such as The Ruffness and Myagi to help spice up the party.
Get yourselves the remedy for the winter blues, grab your friends by the hand and lead them in the ways of Zorbic rightousness, and come on down for a dazzling night to remember...

I really did enjoy it actually. We made about £300 for comic relief, in case you didn't know yet. Not too shabby, I'd say. Thanks for playing, I really enjoyed your set! Shame you are leaving us. K x
