The Upstarts aren't really an active band any more, except for doing one-off shows here and there cause we just can't call it a day after having so much fun together and receiving such great support!! We've just uploaded the other two tracks from Scan This, as well as an oldie for your listening pleasure, and who knows, maybe there will be a 'best of' sometime soon...!?
Steve, Dave & Maltman continue to play now in The Hijacks, check them out:
Hey guys. Thanks for the add. Playing with you 23rd April. Can't wait! Seems like forever since I last saw you guys (but have been to see Hijacks a few times) and Off The Ground is still one of my favourite songs from the local music scene!! Keep jammin' Simon

The Black Tartan Clan are an unmissable bagpiping Belgian sevensome for fans of Dropkick Murphys and the Real McKenzies. This is their first time over to Scotland and their Aberdeen debut gives them just enough time to get good and whiskey soaked before heading south to play the annual Chernobyl Benefit in Glasgow. More music from Belfast punk and rollers The Lobotomies and an Aberdeen debut for the Dobbers as well who feature former members of Dundee horror punk fivesome the Dirty Wee Middens. There is going to be a swapbox on the door for this one so bring along any old punk albums to donate or swap. Oh yeah and anybody that wears a kilt gets bought a pint. Not from us. Somebody else might buy you one though.
Hear ye, hear ye friends. Calling all ye faithful and faithless, the Big Hand debut album is finally here and set to dazzle upon the main stage of life! Yes, its set for release, and its gonna blow your socks off.........
