A band who got in touch completely out of the blue and - against the usual run of form - were actually really good! I've been listening to them a lot lately and hope you'll all enjoy their offering as much as I do. Here's a quick interview with Niall, one half of the band...

Tell us about Bronto Skylift
We are a 2piece noise rock duo hailing from Orkney and Inverness. We like to play Loud,Fun,Energetic gigs indoors and outdoors. Last year we played T in the Park,Belladrum,Wickerman,Rockness and in a train station. This year we made an album and played in a forest and in the middle of a one-way street. We self-released our debut album in June this year and its called The White Crow which you can order at www.brontoskylift.bigcartel.com

You're from Scotland, have you found that at all beneficial/limiting in your possibilities in terms of touring?
I guess the actual number of places to play can be seen as limiting but in terms of actually getting your name out there and getting people to gigs it seems like it would be easier than playing down south where there is so much choice every night of the week. Logistically, touring England is a bit more of a challenge for us but driving on proper roads is a bonus!

What's the musical scene like up there?
It's pretty diverse. These guys put on the best gigs - www.myspace.com/detourscotland. There is a lot of good,heavy stuff kicking about in Glasgow at the moment where all the bands are forging their own paths. But there is also loads of good Folk and Electronic music and most bands try to help out each other as much as they can.

What plans do you have for the rest of the year??
We keep our myspace uptodate with all the gigs - www.myspace.com/brontoskylift. We're playing remote places in Scotland on our Highlands & Islands Tour, a lot of gigs in England,touring Ireland,Germany and possibly Norway.
