Baillie and The Fault
Baillie & the Fault are fronted by one of the hardest working musicians in Scotland, Mike Baillie. Mike has several projects on the go including Degrassi and has worked with some of the biggest names in the business, playing alongside the likes of Snow Patrol, Belle and Sebastian and Teenage Fanclub. With an EP due on Human Condition (the label that discovered Idlewild) they fit the same indie guitar rock bracket. "A good pedigree of musician... If this was Cruft's, Mike Baillie would walk first prize." - Vic Galloway, Radio One.
Odeon Beatclub
OBC have made regular appearances in the music venues of Glasgow/ Edinburgh and the surrounding areas for the past few years. Some of them were good too. Most notably at T in the Park and the best of T break, supporting Snow Patrol and The Coral, Ballboy and many others. Odeon Beatclub have also released singles Behind My Eye (Electric Honey Records), Past Gone Mad, Take It Off, The Architect, The Midnight Service Station EP (Polyester Records) and The Glowing Underground EP (Fierce Panda Records). The band have toured Scotland twice with Babyshambles in 2005 and 2006 and supported Arab Strap at King Tuts. "This is extraordinary stuff. Odeon Beat Club will break your heart given half the chance." The List 4/5
