The Young Spooks live at Limbo 22nd Oct 2010 by Scott Carroll
The Young Spooks gained instant fans at Limbo when they made their club debut in October 2010 (and we’re not the only ones with a couple of local labels already sniffing expressing interest). Here’s how that gig went.
This band of night-dwelling reprobates are a stylish bunch of rock n rollers originating from the Edinburgh College Of Art, with an entourage to match and clearly something of a hard-on for classic Velvet Underground (among other creatures of the night), which is no bad thing in Limbo’s book!
The Young Spooks ascribe to the views of Jean Dubuffet when it comes to art, and indeed to most things. They believe in “works executed by those immune to artistic culture in which imitation has no role; in which their creators take all – subjects, materials, transpositions, rhythm, style, etc – from their own individuality and not from the base of classical art or stylish trends.”…that and fucking oceans of white noise and a harrowing and sincere, guilt racked fear for their mortal souls.
