Limbo

With their second album ‘Not Real’ tipped as Album of the Day by 6Music last month, a live session recorded recently for Lauren Laverne’s show and critics lining up to praise its combination of artful eccentricity and poppy hooks (see below), we’re hugely looking forward to hosting Liverpudlian trio Stealing Sheep on our Bongo Club stage, […]

1) Who are you, who is in the band, who does what in the studio and on stage? PUMAJAW are producer/multi-instrumentalist John Wills (who is also drummer in art-rock band Loop) and singer-songwriter/concertina player Pinkie Maclure. 2) How long have you been writing and performing in this way? Since 2000, possibly longer! 3) How exactly […]

Following the runaway success of their critically lauded Fringe show, Song Noir, Pumajaw return to headline Limbo’s Christmas bash with a reprisal of the show (with the music being released as an album in February ’14), plus a selection of favourites from their last album, Demonmeowmeow. And it’s a v busy time for them as […]

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.

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 […]

PUMAJAW are producer/multi-instrumentalist John Wills (ex-Loop) and songwriter/chanteuse Pinkie Maclure. Their music is a mix of electronic and acoustic sounds, characterised by rich vocals and exploratory, cinematic arrangements.  A charismatic live act since 2000, they have recorded six albums and toured the UK, Europe, Russia and the US, earning loyal fans who are seduced by […]
