Limbo

1) Who are you, who is in the band, who does what in the studio and on stage? We are Conquering Animal Sound, a duo of Anneke Kampman and James Scott. While you will see Anneke doing all the singing, and James doing most of the music on stage, we collaborate on all the music […]

Limbo presents a special, one-off event at The Pleasance Theatre, in association with EUSA.  It’s an all-seater venue with a slightly larger capacity than we’re used to at The Voodoo Rooms, so we’ve put together a very special double-headline bill with two excellent supporting acts, all of whom are working in left-field, electronic pop music.  We’ll be […]

Plum The room is packed even before our first act. Fresh from her triumph last night at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards, Plum makes it instantly clear why she deserved to win. A multi-instrumentalist, she accompanies herself with guitar, bass and programmed beats. Things begin softly, with multi-tracked vocals, almost singer-songwriter in nature. Soon, however, […]

Superlative Scottish electronica duo Conquering Animal Sound return to Limbo on Saturday 9th March to mark the launch of their second album, On Floating Bodies (due out in March via revered indie label Chemikal Underground), after Europe lapped up their debut, Kammerspiel, so appreciatively in 2011. Comprising Anneke Kampman and James Scott, both residents of […]

Pet Murky, haunting and desolate. Pet build atmospheric songs. On some they weave little more than glitches, pop, swishes, clicks and twitches. Meanwhile, the vocals are used mostly as an instrument, being fed through a reverb/echo box until they bear no relation to the human voice. It is at these times that Pet are at […]

This November, it will be four years since Limbo first launched as a weekly Thursday night ‘live music dance party’ at the Voodoo Rooms.  Things have changed quite a bit since then, not least the Edinburgh and Scottish live music scenes, both of which have changed almost beyond recognition, compared to the way things were […]

The Scotsman’s reviewer, Nick Mitchell, was again in attendance for this Limbo. Read his review here.

Comprising Anneke Kampman and James Scott, both residents of Glasgow, CAS’ brand of pop (and it is pop, make no mistake) is rendered through a kaleidoscope of clicks, tape hiss, synths and a myriad of micro-electronica to produce something that’s bewitching and entirely immersive. Anneke’s voice is the most flexible and affecting instrument of all […]

A year on from their last appearance, we welcome back the mighty MEURSAULT, joined by the equally mighty CONQUERING ANIMAL SOUND and JONNIE COMMON (formerly of Down The Tiny Steps and also one third of Inspector Tapehead, who got a great reception at Limbo’s Christmas Party in December). What a bill! Plus support as ever […]
