Limbo

  1) Who are you, who is in the band, who does what in the studio and on stage? My name is A.H.Doune and I’m sort of a one person band.  I play the guitar, sing and have a drum machine that isn’t really a drum machine, which I call Trish. 2) How long have […]

A.H.DOUNE is a brand new solo act by Alex Hendrikson from Thank You So Nice.  “It’s basically me, a loop pedal and a drum machine,” he says, making “songs out of beats, guitars, loops and repetition – simple indie pop songwriting with noise that threatens to unhinge.”  We’re big fans of TYSN and immediately liked Alex’s new project […]

TYSN are an experimental indie pop band from Edinburgh consisting of Niall MacGalloway, Rea the Bass Player and Alex Hendrikson.  They have been described as continuing the Scottish tradition of making intelligent and melodic pop music, but they think they’re louder than that.  Interests include Foucault, public transportation and making a lot of noise. ‘What […]
