(a mean green) 3p Slot Machine brings members that span from each end of this island and meet in Edinburgh to make strange sounds. Four of five members met accidently while climbing the same willow tree; Duncan, the final member, was introduced to them after Gordon fell from the top branch of the tree and was caught in Duncan’s arms. The rest is history. Reaching from an array of influences including psych, folk and bossa nova, the band perform dynamic sets with enough surprises to engage the dulled mind. Their tools include guitars, djembes, flutes, synthesisers and everything in between. Come and listen to their “wonder noises”.
