We are THE HOLD UP, from Glasgow and Prestwick in Ayrshire. Book us through the e-mail shown just above there! Also, please subscribe to our blog so you know all the up-to-date news and gain the chance to win merch and tickets to shows!

Our next gig is Saturday 23rd May at Cosmopol in Clydebank, Glasgow. It's FREE so why not mark it in your diary and make a night of it? We will be playing all the favourites and a few more new tunes!

We are an energetic 4-piece punk/rock band from Prestwick in good old Ayrshire. We fully formed in summer of 2007 - after much searching for the last piece of the puzzle, our drummer. We spend most of our time writing and rehearsing new material and are always on the look out for new gigs! Our inspirations are on the page somewhere already so have a little read of those. We have played loads of gigs in and around Glasgow and plan to play many more further afield very soon. We recently made it to the Semi-Finals of the national competition "Live & Unsigned 2009", which was held at the Newcastle Journal Tyne Theatre - what a journey and experience! We have also recently shared the stage with The Complete Stone Roses, which was an amazing opportunity!

If you are a promoter, get in touch with us for gigs and we will try organise a date or two with ya!

"I really can’t knock these guys in any way. Hopefully in the future they can get some serious quality studio time under their belts and deliver fully on all the promise that they have.

If there are any promoters reading this then I’d recommend them 100%. Very pro attitude and when it comes down to it they deliver."

Sorry for the political post, but this is happening in my hometown.
Diageo/Johnnie Walkers will shed 900 jobs (many of my friends work for them) and this will decimate our economy.
The result will be that instead of being one of the poorest towns in Scotland we will sink below that.
I can't really put into words the level of hardship that this will cause.
As it is it feels like we already live in a partial ghost town and this will no doubt be the final nail in the coffin.
Please sign the petition if you can and pass this message on.
All support is appreciated.

How are y'doin'?

Just to let you know that we are playing at T in the Park (T break stage) this year on the sunday! I was just wandering if you are going to the festival and if you'd like to come and see our live show. We would really appreciate the support. It's going to be like a trip to the zoo. Type us a short poem or quote.

Don't I know it. Bastards.

Don't I know it. Most of my mates are in heavier bands and I have to sit through so many Indie nights with one heavy band! It's quite comical at times!

Tut tut tut. Work fun? xx

Hey !!

Just reminding you that you can nominate your friends (or yourself) for our Band of the Day, Solo Artist of the Day, Music Lover of the Day (individual fans, street teams, fansites, or just friends who are mad about music) and Gig Promotion of the Day (venues, festivals, promoters etc).
Tell us who you think deserves the title – fans can nominate artists or fellow music lovers, artists can nominate special fans, street teams, fan sites, or other artists they admire.

All you need to do is send us a message saying who you think should be future Featured Friends and why, then keep checking back to our page daily to see if they made it.
Make sure you include the myspace url as we need this to check out their profile, and a mini –biography or reason why they are special helps too.

Don’t forget ….. our main website will be launched soon – but you need to register on our Pre-Launch Registration page with your name and email to have access to all the features and get the most from the latest and most innovative Music Community – just go to www.musicoutthere.com or click this banner to sign up now – it’s FREE !!
