Mitchell Museum [+]
Friday 6th November – FREE before 9pm, £4 thereafter
’MITCHELL MUSEUM’ – indie rock. Experimental pop from Glasgow, Scotland.
Childhood sweethearts and members of the young inventors club, the lasting union between brothers Cammy and Raindeer and friends Kris and Dougie led to the formation of MITCHELL MUSEUM in 2008, where they have been swapping home recordings and often regular instruments for banjos, accordions, children’s toys and various buzzing, beeping and burping music makers.
Drawing influence from American and Canadian experimental indie bands including Animal Collective, Flaming Lips, Wolf Parade and Modest Mouse, MITCHELL MUSEUM create an experimental pop sound with strong hints to folk, psych, and electronica.
A reputation for hyperactive and entertaining live shows have led MITCHELL MUSEUM to be described as “a frenzied Grandaddy” and “a lovable bundle of keyboard-driven madness” by The Fly, and 2009 has seen them play the Rockness festival, support Sunset Rubdown and Midlake, and visit many UK towns, cities and motorway service stations for the first time.
Since releasing their first two singles “Warning Bells” and “Tiger Heartbeat” on Vinyl and C10 cassette via the musical arm of essential boutique clothing label Electra French, the band have earned national airplay from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson and Marc Riley, who had the band in session in January. Reviews for the singles led the Rough Trade shop online to state “This is the magic new sound of young Scotland and soon every major independent label will be fighting for their signature. It has energy, intrigue and shouts ‘massive potential’.”
