Endor: ‘The Glaswegian four-piece’s hook-bound melodies have been concocted by a detailed jigsaw of instrumentation all lovingly pieced together to create rousing streams of breezy, Celtic-tinged jangling. Following on from the release of two sterling early-days singles, the band have this year seen an already buxom fanbase swell through support slots with kindred spirits Lightspeed Champion and Semifinalists.’ – Drowned in Sound

BWANI JUNCTION + Escort Knights + Emelle

July 17th, 2010

BWANI A3Part of our Best of Edinburgh season.

Bwani Junction are the Edinburgh pop band that has most caught Sneaky Pete’s imagination this year. We expect big things from them. Disco-pop over afro grooves and the sure vocal style that delivered the Lexicon of Love. Fans of Little Comets, Maccabees and Vampire Weekend, prepare to be astounded at what’s on your doorstep.

Following the first class pop theme, Escort Knights are a 4 piece Indie-House band who play floorfillers with real instruments. Inspired by early house and contemporary Indie, they have set about creating their own brand of musical prozac. Turned off by a climate of financial ruin and depression, Escort Knights focus on the lighter side of life with their tongue-in-cheek and unashamedly honest lyrics.

Emelle made a bit of a name for themselves last year when they went from busking on the Royal Mile to shows at Cabaret Voltaire, Bongo Club, and even a support at the Corn Exchange.
