About me: The Caves is an exciting truly unique and atmospheric venue situated in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Its huge arches, that support Edinburgh’s South Bridge, form a multitude of unique and diverse rooms. From the main vault whose stage is overlooked by a spacious balcony, to vaulted rooms that still contain the remains of buildings that predate the South Bridge itself, this atmospheric venue speaks for itself. The multiple possibilities of the space mean that we can host everything from live music events, club nights, weddings, corporate entertainment, ceilidhs, Burn’s suppers, private parties, themed events, theatre…..the list is endless… The Caves 8-12 Niddry Street South Edinburgh EH1 1NS Tel- 0131 557 8989 Email- thecavesedinburgh@gmail.com WEBSITE:WWW.THECAVES.EU

Manchester's Amida have been compared to both the Pixies and the Magnetic Fields - due in part to their ability to wrench catchy pop from dark subject matter. This is exemplified on their debut mini-album 'Arts and Crafts' which, rattling through six tracks in under 13 minutes, has been described as "a masterclass in pop economy".
Pushing shiny pop hooks to a lo-fi aesthetic, the Just Joans create tales of heartache and teenage longing in small town Caledonia. Is This Music described their debut album (Last Tango In Motherwell) as "frankly staggering", and probably the best album of that year. This was followed by two mini-albums on the rather lovely Wee POP label: Virgin Lips and Hey Boy, You're So Sensitive.
The Occasional Flickers' main songwriter Giorgos Bouras recorded debut album 'Scattered Songs' in his native Greece. But it wasn't until he relocated to Greece and put together a new live band that the music truly felt at home. Imbued with the lyrical wit of Belle and Sebastian, but delivered in the off hand style of the Pastels - they're the best Scottish pop band to ever come out of Greece. Or maybe the best Greek pop band in Scotland. Either way, they're not to be missed.
For this month's Az-Tech we're proud to present a massive personal favourite of ours, Strider. We've wanted to book this guy since Az-Tech started. Strider's tunes are second to none at the moment. Sort of like a Welsh Justice lol. Visit is Myspace to check them out.
This is the second time we've booked an artist from renowned Manchester breaks label Splank!. Last June Splank! label bosses, Groove Allegiance played to a sell out crowd down at The Caves and cemented Az-Tech as one of Edinburgh's top nights.

“Powerpop indie is how they dub themselves, but there are so many influences filtering in here, it's difficult to pinpoint their sound exactly. Post-punk with an energetic twist and a knack for a melody. Theirs is a sound which is trying to resolve the conflict between the obscure and the commercial, and it's a musical tightrope they tread well. Check out 'The Way' and 'Beauty And The Grace' on their MySpace for a taste.”
