The four-piece rock band stormed the legendary Glasgow venue King Tut's so successfully that they were invited back to play a few weeks later, and it has really boosted their profile according to lead singer, guitarist and main songwriter Darren Martin.

"It just went from there and we've had a lot of positive feedback - our fanbase has started to grow and a lot more people have started to take notice," he said.

As well as Darren, the band also includes Ravenswood's Robert Shaw on bass, Craig Rooney from Abronhill on drums, and guitarist Michael Richardson, from Bo'ness.

Building up a formidable reputation, they launched their debut single 'Todd Copper' at the first even Basement Live music night last year, and supported bands like Goldhawks and Nacional on January 8, both of which were at Tut's.

The band have even now been invited to play the O2 ABC in Glasgow on April 1 - and they are planning on making it a fantastic gig that only an April Fool would miss.
