Bio
Trapped in Kansas formed in 2008 and have been on an exciting journey ever since. This multi-national 4-piece have become one of the most talked about and critically praised bands of the past couple of years in Scotland. Finn LeMarinel (vox/guitar), Colin O'Hara (guitar/vox), Christopher Ward (bass/vox) and Iain Symes-Marshall (drums) create mathematically intricate music that is both thought provoking and sonically magni ficent. Immediately on release of their fi rst recordings the boys were off ered a slot at King Tuts in Glasgow. Since then they have not looked back and have played festivals such as goNorth, T in the Park, Rockness, Marisilla Rocks in France and headlined Oxjam Glasgow. They have also done live sessions for Radio 1 and Air 3 and have been featured as both Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson's band of the week on 6Music. Support slots have included amazing bands like This Town Needs Guns, Mimas, And So I Watch You From Afar, Let's Buy Happiness, The Xcerts, Pulled Apart By Horses, Rolo Tomassi, Sucioperro and Tubelord. Trapped in Kansas have built up a strong and exciting reputation on the Scottish music scene. 'How To Go' is their debut EP which will be released later this year and illustrates the real potential that this band have. From emotional resonance to explosive guitar ri ffs this EP is set to become something truly de nitive for Trapped in Kansas.
