Secret CDs has one aim - to sell the CDs of unsigned musicians in the Edinburgh area. The Secret CDs website runs in conjunction with a monthly showcase evening on the first Wednesday of the month at The Phoenix cellar bar, Broughton Street, Edinburgh.
If you have made a CD, are unsigned, in and around the Edinburgh area, and interested in selling your CD please let me know.
"Balkan-influenced mania to make even the scurviest of sea dogs heave and haul those oars. Their virtuously raw songs turn Scotland’s capital into a Balkan fairytale of fog swept docks and drunken tangos.” - The Skinny
Eat it, Jethro Tull!! Thorn's Musical Journey: Live in Edinburgh captures a rocking five-piece band at the height of its powers. Flute and guitars duel over knockout tenor vocals and a rhythm section that plays like it's the last gig on earth.

CONFUSION IS SEX
Where fantasy becomes reality, Confusion Is Sex invites freaks, weirdos, princesses, kings, slaves... CiS is an environment rather than just a music night. It's like walking into a David Lynch set where the weird is normal, giving people the chance to be something they're not.

We all had a fantastic time and are inspired by the experience, Thank You to everyone, and Thank You Jim for letting us play what was was our longest set so far. Salud, A, K, P, T. XXX

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"
VERSUS: three of Edinburgh’s finest noise-hungry racketeers are set to mash up and pound out a shrill of lug-piercing sonics at the Wee Red. Using a format that’s never before graced an Auld Reekie stage, the Bear Scotland triumvirate of The Foundling Wheel, Dead Boy Robotics and Enfant Bastard will set up concurrently and duel track to track, concocting scintillating aural juxtapositions that ignite the synapses with waves of neuron-transcending clatter.
The Foundling Wheel: builds noise-saturated, melody-laced mountains of programmed polyrhythms and bit-crushed distortion.
Enfant Bastard: circuit-bending drum-machine-addled anti-folk that can rarely be arsed to finish what it started.
