Thee Comrades are now dead, sorry, the funeral was lovely, they are now a band called V-2 Schneider, which is a song by David Bowie.
V-2 Schneider have a record out with some other bands on I Fly Spitfires Records. You can buy it below.
The song is on I Fly Spitfires Records Second 7" single release which is available now and features all this:
V-2 Schneider - Never Stop Drive-by Argument - Left, Left, Walk Forward Get on the Dragon The Rushes - Hours Copy Haho - Bookshelf
Thee Comrades are: Ewan Santer (guitar/vox), Gordon Chalmers (guitar), Andy Jeffcoat (bass/backing vox) and Robin Hunter (drums).
Edinburgh based indie-pop quartet, Thee Comrades, formed much like any other band through a mutual love of music and a chain of tenuous associations realised over a lengthy period of time, with plenty of dodgy line-ups and dodgy hair cuts along the way.
When it finally all fell in to place in early Summer 2004, the songs began to flow easily and the band rapidly built up a good live reputation around the city.
Just over a year later, the band won the first of many accolades when they aced the T Break Competition, scoring themselves a much-coveted slot at T in the Park.
In August of that year, they were invited by organisers to perform at the Edinburgh Festival, as part of the Best Of T Break night.
Meanwhile, their demo was being chosen as a winner in the Fopp Unsigned Competition a victory that would see their debut EP recorded and released by Fopp in stores nationwide.
The band have also been selected as one of thirty finalists in the 3 Student Music Awards, which saw them perform a live showcase headlined by Dogs, and a live performance video filmed in London that is available to stream from the 3SMA website.
Thee Comrades' active interest in the current music scene has led them to heavy involvement in local indie nights. Front man Ewan Santer is a part of the much-touted I Fly Spitfires team responsible for a monthly night in Edinburgh's Cabaret Voltaire that has recently become affiliated with the swiss army knife of modern music - Drowned In Sound.
The band have supported top names including The Kooks and El Presidente, and have shared stages with rising stars such as Clor, Young Knives, Kubichek!, Good Shoes and Envelopes.
They have also made a few trips out of the comforts of the Scottish Central Belt, with shows in Newcastle, Liverpool and London's Borderline and Dublin Castle.
Their tracks regularly get played by local radio DJs and in February they recorded a live session for Radio 1, which aired on Vic Galloway's show. They also had their demo selected out of the mountain recieved by Steve Lamacq which was played on his show nationwide.
In the next few months, Thee Comrades will be playing a series of live shows around the country as well as heading in to the studio to record their debut single, which will be released on Spitfires Records.

Hallo, my friend! Just wanted to let you know that you can now purchase my new E.P., Cowley Road, on itunes! "The fifth song [on the Cowley Road E.P.], "Crazy," could well be Skidmore's ticket to the big time. Great hook, old-timey charm, spare arrangement. Hypnotic is what it is....With "Crazy," Gayle Skidmore is one bit of good luck away from hitting the big time." - Jim Trageser, North County Times
Hey babe, thanks for your feedback, I told you it works.
Jeannie actually pulled in over $7500 just last month. It is amazing, isnt it? I also made $1700 last week. Did you bookmark the site?
Just in case you forgot, check it at, s a t p o r . b i z , just type the web address in your browser.
I think I would aim for $4,000 over the next 3 weeks. Apparently there is some cheque on the web page that shows how much he did in a week. Talk about earning some serious dough.
Have you told Chrissy yet? I am sure you are glad I told you about it.
You owe me a drink, just Kidding. I told Dwayne about it and he signed up and made close to $1500 last week, he even wants to tell his family about it. Very soon no one would be working full time, lol.
Have a look at, s a t p o r . b i z , for the details. Remember to type s a t p o r . b i z , lol, in your web browser,
