EPIC NEW SONG by FUTURISTIC RETRO CHAMPIONS

It’s not often you find good stuff on the floor in Leith. It’s usually a discarded bag of rain sodden chips or if you’re lucky a 50 pence piece.

But Leith Records found this band on a handwritten cd lying on the ground next to the Burns statue in Leith. It read LOLLIPOPTASTIC BY FUTURISTIC RETRO CHAMPIONS.

It was swiftly taken home, played and vigorously researched…this is what was learned:

“Futuristic Retro Champions formed in 2006 after the collision of two small stars caused a mass expulsion of electron particles. They never use photoshop. In fact they exist in a highly saturated world of colour and lens flares.”

Hmmmm…Interesting.

If you want to see them, they are launching their ep in Glasgow on the 27th of feb at the 13th Note (kings street), with special guests Skitten & Ace City Racers, and they come east to Edinburgh at sneaky petes on the 17th of april.
