The Savage Sound System began, both sonically and biologically, in
a handful of rented rooms on the East Coast of Scotland.
After buying their inspiration second-hand, they frequently found themselves,
without prior notice, recording surprisingly tasteful noises. These
are systematically projected into the void via this very site. Historical Notes:
From an early age this gaggle of muddles and misfits had an itch. Saturday
mornings once a month tuning in to the Indie chart on ITV's Chart Show;
Thursdays with Steve and Jo's evening sesh; Peel when the babysitter
went out for a smoke. Like a creased brow at Pollock thinking: 'I can
do that', they scratched incessantly at whatever medium came to hand.
Thankfully they kept scratching.Tracking down misfit sounds, and humming a half remembered chorus,
the System are undercover agents of their own demise. Upstanding citizens
of a society reveling in free-fall they are blissfully unaware of their
own importance. In an echo chamber of official propaganda designed to
conceal, they play. The motto: You are what you beat. First release: 'the intafada dub' on Dejine:Rec

Rags & Feathers recently supported a Hawk and a Hacksaw in Glasgow, and rather brilliant they were too. Note perfect folk-pop, kinda like the Handsome Family by way of Fairport Convention.
Ziggy Campbell fronts Edinburgh folktronic popsters FOUND. His solo performances tread a similar path, but the stripped back set-up helps place more emphasis on intimacy and experimentation, helped by his collection of home-made instruments and vintage loop pedals.
Having already recorded and released two albums this year (Apple Tits for Destuction - which has "a 60s vibe", and Dance, which is "mainly all circuit bent instruments and drums"), and with plans for two more (one abstract war concept album, and one straight forward indie), Les Enfant Bastard could just be the most prolific, if not the most diverse, artist in Scotland just now.

Wonky Wallpaper looks to have quite the line up, Edinburgh’s eclectic mini-festival is about pushing the boundaries of music and visuals with sets from Stick 430, Planet Mu's Frogpocket (a definite candidate for “things to experience before you die”), Plum, the Analogue vs Digital sound clash (Absolute Chancer and Andy Glitch back to back) and in your face warm up beats from Mr K3nnEth “Breaks”. Pushing the boundaries in the visual department will be the no input lads.
elo elo, how is life on yonder side of the pond? im thinking i will record some vocals and send them to you, just as ruff templates of some stuff id like to do with you. oh by the way who is it that sings the vocals on your brass tacks album, the song about the planets and shearching for some one? terrible grammer there, sorry.
