Robbie Lesiuk

I recently played at this even with R4 and it was a tale of two gigs.

The first gig was the one I experienced; we didn’t play very well and this was confounded by me breaking a bass string. The lowest one. And I had no spares. Bugger.

The other gig was the one the audience saw; jumpy, sing-song songs viewed through a alcohol-viewed haze. Hooray for people drinking beer all day. Of course, the Scottish national football team helped us out by humping The Ukraine 3-1 and putting everyone in a good mood.

There are more videos over at the band website

Frankly, this is the greatest music video ever made.

This is a song by Y’all is Fantasy Island, a band I am currently supplying Bass, Guitar and Keyboards for. Not to mention transport… I should really make sure the other members of a band can drive before I get involved. Oh well.

The song is entitled, “With Handclaps” and was recorded at Cabaret Voltaire in Edinburgh. The rather excellent Frightened Rabbit and rather bizarre Thomas Truax also happened to be playing that night.

The best thing about this video? I am not in it until the very end, once we have stopped playing.
