release of ‘Iname’ single

After playing gigs around Glasgow and receiving positive and enthusiastic reactions from audiences, the band were spotted by Dee Bahl, who soon became their manager. Bahl offered them a chance to release an independent single on Aereogramme ‘s Babi Yaga record label: ” Iname ” was released on 28 June 1999, with Northsound Radio’s Jim Gellatly (later of Beat 106 & Xfm Scotland ) giving the band their first radio play. This first release led to the band being chosen by Stow College’s Electric Honey record label to release a record: thekidswhopoptodaywillrocktomorrow was released on Nerosa on 13 June 2000, receiving airplay from BBC Radio Scotland DJ Vic Galloway . A few days prior to the release of thekidswhopoptodaywillrocktomorrow , the band were spotted at the Unsigned Bands stage at T in the Park 2000 by a Beggars Banquet representative, and were signed to the independent Beggar’s Banquet soon thereafter.
