If neither of those options entice you enough to click on them, allow us to shamelessly attempt to sway you with some of the nice things people have said about how we sound:

"THE OUTFIT MAKE BEAUTIFUL, BEAT-FUELLED ACOUSTIC TRACKS WHICH STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB FROM THE CURRENT CROP OF SUPERMARKET INDIE-TOUTING WANNABES AND ARE ALL THE BETTER FOR IT... STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL VOCALS AND CLIPPED BEATS... GENUINELY HEARTFELT AND UTTERLY INVENTIVE - YOU CAN'T ASK FOR MUCH MORE THAN THAT..."
THE LIST

"A BAND I FELL IN LOVE WITH AS SOON AS I HEARD THEIR DEBUT EP... SIXPEOPLEAWAY IS AN INCREDIBLE TALENT, ON THE VERGE OF HUGE ACCLAIM...PURE GENIUS...WITH JUST ACOUSTIC GUITAR, BASS, VOCALS AND A LAPTOP, THEY MAKE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ACOUSTIC ELECTRONICA..."
JIM GELLATLY, XFM / BBC

"SIXPEOPLEAWAY SOUND AWESOME, BRILLIANT STUFF, I’M NOT JUST SAYING THIS BUT IF THERE ARE A+R PEOPLE LISTENING RIGHT NOW YOU COULD DO A LOT WORSE THAN TO SIGN THESE GUYS UP, LISTEN TO THIS ITS FANTASTIC!..."
VIC GALLOWAY, BBC

"THE FALKIRK DUO HAVE CARVED OUT AN INDIVIDUAL SOUND INCORPORATING FRACTURED LAPTOP BEATS INTERWOVEN WITH BASS, ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND BEAUTIFUL VOCALS... EXCELLENT... DEFINITELY WORTH THE TREK TO YOUR LOCAL MUSIC VENUE."
THE SCOTSMAN

SIXPEOPLEAWAY'S FRACTURED ON-THE-EDGE SONGWRITING TREADS THAT LINE BETWEEN ALTERNATIVE AND COMMERCIAL WITH EASE. WITH A STIRRING, STUNNING VOICE ALISTAIR MERRICK IS HALFWAY THERE BUT IT'S HIS KNACK FOR A TUNE AND HIS GENUINELY ORIGINAL ELECTRONIC ARRANGEMENTS (AIDED AND ABETTED BY ROBERT HITCHEN) THAT SET HIM ASIDE FROM THE REST OF THE SINGER-SONGWRITER CREW..."
STUART MCHUGH, IS THIS MUSIC?

"AT ONCE PHENOMENALLY POWERFUL AND UTTERLY FRAGILE, SIXPEOPLEAWAY'S DISTINCTIVE GUITAR/BASS/BEATS SET-UP SEES AN EXCITING CREATIVE FORCE EMERGING FROM GLASGOW. SKY-SCRAPING MELODIES DELIVERED BY A PASSIONATE, ALMOST UNWORLDLY VOICE UNAFRAID OF SINGING FROM THE HEART, THIS IS HIGHLY CRAFTED SONGWRITING AT ITS FINEST; PROVOCATIVE, INSPIRING AND NOTHING LESS THAN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL."

Tickets are £4 and all profits of the gig will be given to Yorkhill Childrens Foundation.
You can also bring along a mixed cd which you can swap with someone else. Please include a tracklist and have fun with the cover. This is a great opportunity to promote all the bands you love (or your own band) and show your creative side.
Please come along, get some new music & badges, view photos, enjoy amazing bands & say hello. :)

SORRY, just realised nobody had replied yet. Yeah, you have a bed no problem. And by bed I probably mean a floor. Or a sofa. But you will have a roof and probably central heating. Winner!

See you later!

You still kicking about on here then? Can't really listen to any of the new songs just now cause there's a guy here doing an exam. I'm getting paid £17 to sit and play on the internet while children are forced to do their homework. It's amazing how motivated they are when it's their own time they're wasting.

Anyway as nice as the new tunes are I'd better leave them to it and not put them off.

Hope things are well with you.
