Glasgow's Blind Pew Pen A Deal
One of Scotland’s most popular and promising live acts has finally achieved the recognition it deserves… Occasionally irreverent, often satirical and always ear-catching, Glasgow-based Blind Pew have recently signed to London-based A List Records. "In terms of performance and timeless, quality songs, Blind Pew stand ten feet taller than everyone else” says Cary George, Chairman of A List Music Group. “We are delighted at this signing.”
The band’s first single will be released on A List in early 2007, followed by their as-yet-untitled debut album.
“Signing a record deal is our biggest achievement to date. As a band, you slog away for so many years and then finally someone has as much faith in the music as you do. It feels like a good bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes,” says Blind Pew guitarist and longtime cereal-endorser Paul McGranaghan.
To celebrate their signing – and showcase some new material to their growing legion of fans - Blind Pew will play two shows next month: Glasgow (Nice ‘n’ Sleazy, 4th November) and Edinburgh (Bannerman’s, 3rd November). They’ll also play at In The City as part of an A List showcase, on 29th October.
About Blind Pew:
Formed in Largs in 2003, Blind Pew are: Andy MacGregor (lead vocals/keyboard), Paul McGranaghan (guitar/vocals), Stu McIntosh (bass/vocals) and Del Lamont (drums). The band’s unique rock stylings have led to comparisons with the likes of The Rolling Stones and The White Stripes. 2005 EP ‘You’re Claimed’ was recorded at Cava by Gordon Rintoul (Paul Weller, Tori Amos, The Vaselines) and the band have played with Dogs Die In Hot Cars, The View, The Subways and The Hazey Janes. They are currently in the studio recording material for the new album.
