Triple Bill of Scottish Talent for Mad Hatters

Rock

A TRIPLE bill of Scottish talent will take over Mad Hatters bar tomorrow on Saturday 14th May.

Last year Central Belt based Lost In Audio filled the goNorth tent at RockNess. Having added a new pop and R & B element to their rock music, the band have sold out venues in Edinburgh, Glasgow and elsewhere toured in Iceland and just last month played to 450 passionate fans at their latest headline show at the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh.

Aberdeen four-piece The Little Kicks, who have overcome their Radiohead influences to produce upbeat disco rock, have been building a reputation for a great live show, gaining festival experience at T in the Park, Belladrum, Insider and Connect, among others, while recently exporting their music to live audiences in Japan and Germany. The band have recorded live sessions for XFM, BBC Radio Scotland and have also been played on national radio by both Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson.

Representing Fife are the eclectic Little Buddha as they approach the final leg of a UK Spring tour which takes them from Hastings to Inverness and finally Glasgow.

With influences ranging from Duke Ellington, African blues and Ennio Morricone film scores to Paul Simon, Nine Inch Nails and Blondie, Little Buddha wrote and produced a song for the Save RAF Lossiemouth Campaign, "Born to Fly" and will release debut album "Twisted" in July with a second album due for release in October.

Appropriately for a band with strong cinematic influences, three tracks from "Twisted", were recently selected for inclusion on the soundtrack for award-winning director Shezhad Afzal’s feature film debut "Pendulum Drift".

The music begins at 9.30pm.
