Lady North are a pneumatic dance-math-rock band hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland. The trio’s tectonic throbs of guitar, drum and bass have been making in-roads into the Scottish music scene over the last six months. Tipped by Scotsman Radar as the Act to Watch in 2011, receiving a nomination for ‘Best Live Act’ at this years Scottish Alternative Music Awards and winning a lucrative slot at this years T Break Stage at T in the Park, Lady North have fast gained the reputation of intriguing and unpredictable purveyors of pulsing instrumental rock. Led by Scott Bullen’s android guitar, Jamie Steel’s gyrating basslines and Paul Bannon’s apoplectic percussion, the three tear apart convention, combining math with wider strains of funk, reggae and prog. They create a seething, stomach acid-frothing ogre of sound that must not be missed. No matter who you are, you need to check this band out live.What the press think:
