Matt Norris and the Moon Win Hog The Street

In what proved to be a showdown of epic proportions in sub-arctic balticness, Matt Norris and the Moon took the Hog The Street title and are set to open for Primal Scream and the Bombay Bicycle Club at Edinburgh’s Hogmanay.
It was a weekend stacked full of sterling performances, from a range of new Scottish acts. Like most band competitions, all acts where great in their own right. But in the end it was MNATM that got the most coinage in the Shelter Scotland buckets during their set.
The contribution of all bands playing raised a healthy £2740 for a great cause, with every band doing their bit to help contribute to this total.
Other acts taking the stage last weekend included Clog and the Quirks, The Marvels, Madhat McGore, Davey Horne, The Soul Foundation, Emelle, The OK Social Club, Finding Albert and Das Contras.
A massive thanks to all bands who took the time to enter over at HogTheStreet.com. We hope it’s given bands a bit of exposure at the very least.
And looking forward to braving the street on December 31st to hear the winners take the stage. Best get their nappies on.
