Scottish Fiction - 8th May 2013 by Scottish Fiction on Mixcloud

That's My Jam #9 - Nevada Base - Foresight

You know that moment when you finally get a band that other people have been raving about for ages?  Yeah that's what this track, 'Foresight' is all about for me.  I'm sure it won't trouble them too much, but I'd never really got on board with Nevada Base and their brand of electropop.  The title track from their new single however has reeled me in with sheer electric magnetism, the funky beat locking into my brain and re-writing my earlier apprehension.  Think James Murphy meets David Byrne with a sexy swagger, and you're in the right (disco) ball park.

'Foresight' comes out on Monday 29th April on Black Lantern Music.

T-Break 2012 - Let The Ranting Continue...

I wish the T-Break stage at T In The Park could get announced more often.  It's a hugely entertaining day, because of all the ranting, raving, moaning and conspiracy theories that surround the announcement of the 16 artists playing the stage at Scotland's biggest festival.  (Blogger Favourite Son kindly rounded the best up on his Facebook page if you're curious).

So I'm late to the party, but if you haven't seen it already here's the lucky (or otherwise if you are convinced of dodgy deals going on) 16 artists who are playing the T-Break stage at this year's T In The Park:

Anderson, McGinty, Webster, Ward & Fisher
Bacchanal Party
Beerjacket
Blank Canvas
Brown Bear & The Bandits
Capitals
Chris Devotion & The Expectations
Crusades
Davey Horne
Nevada Base
Open Swimmer
Randolph’s Leap
Roman Nose
TeKlo
The Machine Room
The Mirror Trap

Follow the link for each band to find out more about them.  There's some we've not heard of, some we plain don't like, and some we think are pretty awesome!  In particular check out our Scottish Fiction Session with Beerjacket, our Scottish Fiction January EP featuring Blank Canvas, and I'm sure we've played tracks from Capitals, Chris Devotion & The Expectations, Crusades, Open Swimmer, Randolph's Leap and The Machine Room on the show before if you care to explore our Scottish Fiction Podcasts.
