Limbo

1) We are Engine7. Marie-Claire sings and writes the lyrics, Alan makes the beats and bleeps. 2) We’ve been working together for six years or so, on and off. Marie-Claire lives in London and Alan is in Glasgow, so we go for quality, rather than quantity. We only perform four times a year. 3) Alan […]

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 […]

Engine7 is a duo operating in Glasgow and London. Multi-instumentalist and producer Alan McNeill is joined by vocalist Marie-Claire Lee to make impassioned, haunting music. Laden with atmosphere, Marie-Claire’s voice cuts through the reverb-laden synths, only to be engulfed again by the dirty beats and driving bass.

Having received a veritable slew of praise for their debut album (released November 2010), rising Edinburgh stars DEAD BOY ROBOTICS are back to launch LIMBO’s 2012 programme on FRIDAY 20TH JANUARY, with support from HOMEWORK and THE LOTUS PROJECT. ‘DBR have the attack of Intergalactic-era Beastie Boys, without being so brattish about the beats. Both […]

  We were impressed immediately when we heard The Lotus Project’s demo and, with an impassioned voice that’s reminiscent of Beth Gibbons’ (Portishead) anguished style, singer Marie Claire’s solo performance at Limbo in June 2011 (supporting Isa And The Filthy Tongues) certainly didn’t disappoint, either.  High hopes for this duo in 2012… Band’s biog: The […]

Last seen at Limbo in 2008, and also boasting members of Goodbye Mr Mackenzie / Angelfish (i.e. Scottish indie royalty from the late Eighties/early Nineties and Shirley Manson’s original band before she went off to become the lead singer of Garbage in 1994), ISA AND THE FILTHY TONGUES are back with an exciting new live […]
