Limbo with special guests Found + Three Blind Wolves + Over The Wall
Limbo sets out to bring you consistently great live music in a well produced environment.
Friday 12th February sees the return to Limbo of club favourites and Edinburgh stars Found, debuting new material from their upcoming third full-length album and generally feting the fact that they've just won a BAFTA and also signed a publishing deal with the highly auspicious Domino Records (also behind Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Four Tet, James Yorkston, Animal Collective, The Kills, Lou Barlow, The Pastels, King Creosote, Sons & Daughters, Tricky, Wild Beasts and Dirty Projectors, among myriad others). Found have also recently stripped the band back to a three-part line-up, following the departure of Gav Sutherland (keys) and Al Stockdale (drums). This leaves original trio Ziggy Campbell, Tommy Perman and Kev Sim to continue to develop what they first started some six or seven years ago.
Support comes from previous Limbo hit and Glasgow troubadour Ross Clark with his new band, Three Blind Wolves, and fellow Limbo favourites Over The Wall. All in all it's an astonishingly strong line-up, with each of these acts quite capable of headlining a bill in their own right, and demonstrates a more focused Limbo for 2010.

FOUND began life as an experimental arts collective putting on many weird and wonderful events in art galleries, warehouses and even storage containers.
Their most recent project, an emotional robot band called Cybraphon, captured the attention of the world’s press. Since its unveiling at the Edinburgh International Festival at the start of August, Cybraphon has been featured on national newspapers across the world (e.g. China, Brazil, Italy, Spain, UK), made the top story on the homepage of WIRED.com and has been covered by CNN and TV networks internationally including BBC’s primetime arts show The Culture Show.
FOUND made their American debut at SXSW in March 2009 and followed up with a string of performances at CMJ in October 2009 where Brooklyn Vegan picked them out as ones to watch. In the UK they have built up a strong fan base and highlights of their live career to date include the BBC Electric Proms, T in the Park, Triptych, Brighton’s Great Escape, the Fence Collective’s ‘Homegame’ festival and Hydro Connect Festival.
Their self-released debut ‘Found Can Move’ earned them an impressive amount of UK national radio play including support from BBC Radio 1 djs, Steve Lamaq, Rob Da Bank, Huw Stevens and Vic Galloway. They’ve recorded radio sessions for BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio Scotland including a recording in John Peel’s studio at Maida Vale. They also recorded an exclusive live session in the legendary ‘Beatles Studio’ at Abbey Road for US radio station U-Pop XM 29.
FOUND have a prolific output with two full-length albums and numerous singles / EPs in the last two years, with releases on Fence Records [UK], Creeping Bent [UK] and Aufgeladen Und Bereit [Germany]. The band have also become sought-after remixers and have recently applied their creative imaginations to reworking the music of King Creosote (Warner), Make Model (EMI), Attic Lights (Island) and Au Revoir Simone (Moshi Moshi).
"FOUND sound like a punch up between Paolo Nutini and Captain Beefheart." The News Of The World
"their sound is so progressive, so completely unique, it’s demeaning to tie it to the stale confines of a label. Instead, we should be celebrating the euphoria created by their extraordinary kaleidoscopic soundscapes. 9/10" Drowned in Sound
"Sampled sounds wrestle it out with jagged bursts of electronica across songs that lurch around like shouty drunks on a week-long bender" Q Magazine

Ross Clark first played Limbo with his band last March and they took everyone's breath away with the deftness of their performance. They followed that with a slew of dates, establishing a loyal following all over Scotland, and have now re-grouped under the new moniker, Three Blind Wolves. Ross Clark's song-writing craft is some of the best we've heard and we sincerely expect him to have a very long and fruitful career.
Three Blind Wolves (formally Ross Clark & The Scarfs Go Missing) have been building a strong following across Scotland, in particular their native Glasgow. Supporting acts such as Glasvegas, Lightspeed Champion, Noah & The Whale and recently touring with Frightened Rabbit in March 09 has raised the profile of the band nationally and heralded some great live reviews over the past year.
The release of a solo album for Ross ‘You Brought Evil’ received a 4 star review in The Skinny Magazine:
“Clark's marriage of country, blues and even gospel styles is nigh on expert and seamless: this is atmospheric, graphic and impassioned stuff…Clark's solo debut recalls genre-defining artists like Bright Eyes and more recently Bon Iver, but kudos must be offered for his successful endeavors to create his own individual sound, particularly when many more celebrated artists are content to use such yardsticks as templates” (Jan 2009)
The band recently toured the UK supporting Frightened Rabbit and have quickly established themselves a strong reputation for their live show- “Hailing from Glasgow, RC&TSGM are quite, quite ace. Their sound shifts and varies, quite hard to pin down, but is a winning combination of vocal harmonies that, at their finest, are genius”- (Brumlive.com March 2009)
Ross was also recently voted third best Scottish Solo Artist in the Jock Rock Poll for 2008, arrowly behind Malcolm Middleton and King Creosote.
OVER THE WALL have come a massive distance since we first caught them at a T Break heat in August 2007 and thought they were one of the stand-out acts on the bill that night, having recently signed a publishing deal for their music and just been tipped by The Skinny as one of their bands to watch in 2009. Over The Wall have a fantastic attitude to making and playing music (and this seems to be borne out by the ebullient duo's attitude to life in general, as they are two of the nicest people we have met and worked with since starting Limbo) and both look and sound like they're having the time of their lives when they are up on stage, cracking a number of jokes at their own expense last time they played, getting everyone in the room smiling and then going on to wow the crwod and get their unanimous approval at the end. Musically, they plough a rich new wave rock/pop seam, using guitars, synths, a laptop and trumpet, which pays homage to bands such as The Cure and New Order but does't really sound like either of them. No, no, these guys just sound like Over The Wall and that's another reason we like them so much. And, trust us, you will be very impressed too! More info at http://www.myspace.com/ovethewall
