Out of the Darkness Out of the Darkness
A howl of teenage lust for freedom. Features overdubbed accidental guitar solo, based on Steve Hillage, but less skillful (obviously).
Theme Theme
An instrumental! Featuring the prodigious drumming talent of Pete 'Let me check ma diary' Fergusson. Bit early 60s really. Garage punk.
Paisley Pattern (Oranges Boranges) Paisley Pattern (Oranges Boranges)
Ulster firebrand preacher with dubious academic pedigree impersonates Witchy-poo in his search for the magic talking flute
Garden Gnomes Garden Gnomes
Short and simple (which is what Garden Gnomes are), our ode to Zachariah & Ezekiel Toadstool, Brothers in the Pom Pom Hat
Falling Down Falling Down
A punky / Hawkwind hybrid, this is a very rough demo of a song first performed at Wickerman 2004. Ignore the solo, you get the drift .... If you're listening, downloading or just visiting please leave feedback!

Seminal (careful with that there word, boy) rural punk band from early 80s Galloway (Scotland), line-ups have come and gone over the years but we have tried to remain true to our ethos: "Four chords good, three chords best". As the available pool of contemporary local musical talent has gone into retirement the average age of the band has reduced. This year it is 28!Band/artist history
http://cobweb.businesscollaborator.com/ztamm/Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live twice a year at the moment, usually at the Wickerman Festival (http://www.thewickermanfestival.co.uk)which is great. Best moment was in 1981 when we started a riot in a rural village hall playing our "tribute" to Margaret Thatcher.

Hey, 17 visits yesterday (presumably looking for new tracks) but no complaints at our ludicrously low work-rate! Who goes there???
Cheers, Kev, what a great weekend it was......
The local press gave us quite a bit of space this year, and some very nice comments. I'll forward a copy under separate email :-)
Hey guys, cheers 4 the jammin @ Wicca man. Anyone that does a Ramones cover is cool with me. Anytime u want the big man with the harmonica again....
Just listened to the rest of your tracks and I really like the lot. I like the roughness of falling down, but don't take my advise as I'm rubbish. Let me know if any new stuff gets added.

Cheers, Simon - as I said in the song page, it's a bit rough and ready as it was Bruce's first attempt at the solo, and I'm not used to doing vox, but I think the gist of the song is there. The mechanical drummer was impressive anyway!
