emergency red

Emergency Red are a fast-rising, Edinburgh-based indie rock/pop band who have been gigging for about a year now.

Highlights to date include supporting metal/punk outfit Cyclefly, and New York garage rockers, Longwave, fresh from their European Tour with the Vines. Other highlights include extensive radioplay on Edinburgh & Glasgow station Beat 106, and having an entire gig broadcast on cable TV fom Princes Street Gardens during the last Edinburgh festival.

ER now have interest from 2 labels - we obviously can't give more details just now, but no bullshit, it's there.

Our first gig and first love was La Belle Angele in Edinburgh, now sadly burned down in the recent fire. Other regular spots include the Venue in Edinburgh, which has been graced by bands as diverse as Oasis and Nirvana over the years, and the Commplex in Leith, which has fantastic acoustics (being a converted church) and a huge artists' area, to make you feel a bit 'special'

Radiohead, Coldplay, Lou Reed, The Clash, Muse, Echo & the Bunnymen, Feeder, and just for a bit of ammunition, Blink 182, Linkin Park, and Michael Jackson (Bring it on)

Fender USA Strat, Rickenbacker 4001 bass, Pearl Export drums, Hohner 'The Jack' Bass, various pedals, including Marshall Jackhammer, Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Wah, Digitech Bass synth wah, Ibanez Phat Hed Bass overdrive, and a couple of Roland distortion type guitar pedals (give me a break, I'm a Bassist - one's yellow, one's light blue))
