Attic Lights, Wickerman Festival 2008 – by edinburgh photographer on flickr
A lot of up and coming bands come through our door. A lot of those bands show a massive amount of talent. Naturally I prefer some bands sessions to others, but I have begun to start noticing a theme running through all my favourite sessions… they have all been well mannered bands who aren’t big headed and are genuinely appreciative of the support we’ve just given them.
Favourite sessions include The Little Kicks, Frank Turner, The Red Light Company, Mia Riddle and our most recent session… the Attic Lights.
Attic Lights are an up and coming indie band from Glasgow who have had a fantastic 2008 and by the looks of things are going to have an even better 2009. Their debut album “Friday Night Lights” is one of those albums that you can listen to from start to finish and not skip any track, something I find very rare these days.
When they came in on Sunday, Andrew spoke to them about the recent news that they had been asked by Channel Five to perform the theme tune for the newly recommissioned 80′s comedy drama Minder… they then performed the theme for us.
A bizarre but rather enjoyable session.
You can download the session (including an acoustic version of Wendy) and the interview on Episode 52 of the Sunday Showcase podcast.
