Limbo

Delta Mainline are a band who have been quietly going about making a name for themselves in Edinburgh over the last few years and are currently in the process of recording their debut album.  Their performance at Limbo took everyone to a very special, psychedelic place, while newcomers Pet and The Machine Room provided note-worthy […]

Friday 28th January 2011 saw The Oates Field, Eagleowl and Gummi Bako play the first Limbo of 2011. Everybody stuck around until kicking out time, loads more people turned up to get down after the bands had finished and it was generally a great night! Gummi Bako go on first and the room is already […]

The last one saw an incendiary Limbo debut by The Oates Field, another Limbo debut by brassy, west-coast outfit How To Swim and, of course, headliners Over The Wall brandishing new album Treacherous to a very warm welcome indeed. First on, The Oates Field’s lead singer/guitarist and brains Alan Oates open with an acoustic cover […]

Local ECA-bred quartet The Young Spooks go on first and immediately conjure up a compelling on-stage dynamic and a gorgeously fuzzy, discordant sound with their very traditional indie set-up (guitar, drums, bass and vox).

Saturday 29th May saw Limbo storm the Sheiling Tent at Knockengorroch, taking over the decks from Glasgow reggae dons Mungo’s Hi Fi with the Limbo bands following some equally bass-soaked sounds on stage. It wasn’t an easy feat to turn the hippies, crusties and spliffed-up reggae massive on to a bunch of artists touting a […]

Last month’s Limbo was a total sell-out and the biggest date so far this year, as Edinburgh’s Withered Hand played his first Edinburgh gig of the year, before embarking on an extensive European tour. Fence Collective star Pictish Trail sadly cancelled at the last-minute due to a sudden case of tonsilitis but, very happily for […]

Last week’s Limbo was another winner. The Set Up did exactly what they prescribed to do in their name and set the night up perfectly. The Travelling Band made it for the gig in spite of their van blowing a head gasket in Manchester and, with four out of six of the band arriving in […]

Last week was an absolute belter, and a huge crowd turned up to check out another glorious triple. It was a bout of quite epic proportions as three of the finest live acts on the Scottish circuit did battle for supremacy with a left hook – Mitchell Museum, a right hook – Y’all Is Fantaasy […]
