graygo Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I was watching a film last night and one of the songs in it was quite obviously a Scottish singer, googled it and it was the singer from Frightened Rabbit who had went solo from the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gershwin Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 They were top notch at the Al Hambra on Wednesday night. What a venue as well. Actually went to see them in Hackney last night too as I was in the area. Another brilliant venue - a beautiful old church this time. Scott singing 'Keep Yourself Warm' from the pulpit was hilarious!

Deodato Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hola, From a music industry perspective, it's kinda funny reading this thread, as the band have had a lopsided route to success - namely cracking America before they got it right back home. A long story short, they practically owned SXSW back on 2010 and were doing 3,000 theatres in the US whilst on Brighton based Fat Cat records - a label with deep ties to new Scottish music. Now on Warners, they've upped their game with venues (Brixton Academy sold out) but the Pedestrian Verse record lost momentum. Seems like the new album is right back on track and I saw them at Church of St John in London and it was a total roadblock. The new material was well received and some of the classics like Head Rolls Off touched you like the U2 anthem 'Pride'. What's clear about their US success is that - as with Franz Ferdinand - American fans respect you when you tour your arse off. Both these bands hit the road hard and that really resonates with the American fans. @ Mods - how do I upload photos to the boards? I know how to do links to photos but I've got an ace shot of Scott at St John's Church I want to share with this thread. PM me - folks are going to love this photo.

Selkirk_Jambo Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Scott is too. Or at least he was when he was at school Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Jambo Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Been listening to them since midnight organ fight and they are now in my top 5. Selkirk connection is pretty damn cool I believe we my mum is friends with Scott and Grants mum, or some small town trash like that. New album is ace.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stanley_ Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Scott is too. Or at least he was when he was at school I asked him a couple of weeks ago about if he is a Hearts fan (he was doing an acoustic set in a shop and I got to speak to him for a couple of minutes). He said that he would say he supports Hearts but that he lost interest years ago and Grant is the one who is really into it. Edited April 19, 2016 by Stanley_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or pretty much the entirety of Midnight Organ Fight tbf. Although Floating in the Forth has become a very hard listen. Poke, I heard for the first time after my first break up a few years ago and it just described what was going on so perfectly that I immediately put it back on and bawled the whole time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

InNothingWeTrust Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 You might also have heard this one. Scott Wilson has been playing it after defeats at Tynecastle over the past couple of years (which has been most games 🤦🏻) It's one of my favourites (out with TMOF album) along with Holy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whatever Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Been getting more and more into them over the past year or so. Think this remains my favourite track of theirs. An outstanding song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
