We are a five piece "Scotpop" band from Edinburgh, Scotland. We formed under the name Dogs of Autumn in 1993 and released two CDs, Poodlefaker EP and Bhark. We changed our name and line up in 1998 to Einstein`s Wardrobe.
Our new CD "Raconteur" has just been released. Visit our website now to see the tracklist, play the songs and buy the CD!

Why this name?
Craig Watson, our keyboard player chose the name after having read an article about Albert Einstein. Apparantly he had a wardrobe of identical clothes so he did not have to think about what he wore!!
Do you play live?
We do play live, mostly in Edinburgh, however we have played in countries such as Barbados and Spain. Our most unusual gig was probably at the Kensington Oval, Barbados where we were joined on stage by a steel band!! Great gig and a good time had by all.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It is the biggest development for years. It is a revolution in many ways. Hopefully it will enable independent artists to flourish and persuade record companies to be flexible in their choice of artists. Why should all bands sound the same after all?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, although at present we enjoy being in a position to distribute our MP3s and CDs through our own "label" which is also our website!
Band History:
As above. You may also be interested to note that we were finalists in the Scottish Sunday Mail T-Break Competition in 1998.
Your influences?
We like a lot of different styles. Steve likes bands such as Travis and Love and Money, while Gary prefers Rock bands. We also like indie/guitar pop, Britpop and some alternative country music so there is a blend of styles and influences in our songs. There is a bit of humour there too, which I suppose would appeal to fans of bands like Barenaked Ladies.
Favorite spot?
Edinburgh. There`s no place like home. There is a song on our new CD called "Dancing on the Beaches" which is a song about being in a band from Edinburgh on tour.
Anything else...?
We hope you enjoy our music. You can also buy t-shirts, mugs and other merchandise on our website as well as all of our CDs and MP3s. Check out our official website for more details.
