Hailing from the hotbed of new talent that is Glasgow, Trap 6 formed in late 2005. Since then the band have been honing their skills on the local scene and supporting the likes of The Fratellis, Ghosts, Switches, Ali Love, The Cinematics and The View.
Trap 6 are set to release 'The Cycle' on Monday 26th March through Hungry Kid Records. 'The Cycle' will be available as a download via itunes and will also have a limited release on 7". 'The Cycle' will be backed with live favourite 'Man About Town' and also features a blazing Electro mix of The Cycle..
The band will be embarking on a short run of UK dates in support of the single so watch this space for more updates and news.
What fuels the bands songwriting? Well, simply put in the band's own words, everything. The highs, lows, loves, losses, nights out and mornings after.
Press Quotes
"Upbeat, singalong monsters with killer chorus's." - Sunday Mail
"Stomping bite of contemporary guitar-infused pop, with enough punch to give you a black eye. A soundtrack to the weekend!" - Bandwagon
"Trap 6's taste for melody, aggressive guitar playing and everyday life lyrics would sit them nicely alongside the like of NME's favourites Arctic Monkeys, The Maccabees, as well as fellow Scots, The Fratellis"- Godisinthetvzine
"There is even talk of revolution, jilted generations and people in the street. But it is all so uplifting that these boys surely couldn’t be accused of starting any riots. Starting an illegal rave? Now that’s another matter!" - Control Yourself
"Think Kaiser Chiefs jamming with The Killers in The Automatic's garage and you're coming somewhere close." - Mail Music

Following the stunning success of the inaugural Glasgow R&B Festival we deliver a killer blow to 2009 with the festival's first Hogmanay Hootenanny. The New Year starts with a bang with headline shows from the city's hottest Rhythm & Blues bands and an all star collection of Scotland's top DJ's. The R n' B Festival will once again showcase the very best in contemporary Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Rock n' Roll and Ska.
From 10pm until 5am we will see in the New Year at The V Club (375 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow). The Main Room will house the Festival Dance Floor with live performances from The Five Aces, The Bottleneckers and The Privates Hammond Orchestra. The party will be kept going into the wee hours with star turns from our DJ's. The Upstairs room will be the home of Ska Goes Soul, part chill out room, part house party featuring DJ's playing the best in Soul and Ska Music.
Paul Weller plays the SECC on November 14th and the official aftershow is at the Admiral Bar with LEGENDARY DJ Andy Lewis. Andy hasn't DJed for a while as he's currently playing bass on tour with Weller!
You NEED to go along if you are any kind of Mod/Northern Soul/Rhythm & Blues/Psychedelia fan.
If any of you have been lucky enough to have gone along to Andy's club Casino Royal at the Camden Barfly ( www. myspace. com/casinoroyaleclub ) or the spin-off nights at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes then you'll know what to expect. I can't express how good this will be as Andy has said he's "brought a box of dodgy old mod tat with me to play"
Doors open from 22.30-03.00 at The Admiral Bar, 72 Waterloo Street, Glasgow. £6 door tax on the night.
Next gig : Genre Is A Dirty Word, G12, Glasgow, 08/11/08

"A gritty club monster that Tom and Ed would swap Lily Allen for ... it'd take a brave man to bet against this being a cult club smash." - News Of The World 07.09.08
One of the most visionary producers to emerge from the UK in years,Boy 8-Bit is surely one of the most unmissable acts to grace the decks at Koochie Koo. 2007 saw him release a series of remixes that sent dancefloors crazy & made him one of the most talked about producers in the UK. He's remixed Armand Van Helden,Lethal Bizzle,X-Press 2,Alex Metric,DJ Touche,Acid Jacks,The Black Ghosts,Burial,Caged Baby,Mika,Devils Gun & The Loose Cannons to name but a few. It seems everyone wants a bit of Boy 8-Bit & you can certainly see why when you listen to his productions. Combining Commodore 64 blips, wonky basslines & pounding electro beats to sublime effect while showing a diversity that really stands him above his peers. 2008 seen him release his own tracks championing a variety of sounds from breakbeat to dub step to BMore to all out electro bangers aswell as future remix work for Chromeo, Bumblebeez & Midfield General. Now signed to Diplo's Mad Decent, Boy 8 Bit is an act not to be missed. Entry £8 / £7, 11pm til 3am, pay on door.
plus Johnny Whoop (Death Disco) 2 Manky DJs (Basement, Soundhaus) Koochie Koo DJs
