TEN STOREYS HIGH are a 4 piece semi-acoustic live and recording band from the Edinburgh area.
ID PARADE:
Ewan Beck – Found guilty of noodling, plays bass and muff aka “Sergeant Fury”
Callum Maguire – Found guilty of logorrhoea, discovered an outlet in vocals & lyrics aka “Midnight Moses”
Steve Scott – Found guilty of crimes against guitar and mandolin aka “Isobel Goudie”
Colin Usher – Found, lost, then found again plays drums and glockenspiel aka “Last of the Teenage Idols”
PREVIOUS FORM:
In early 2005, after a brief spell in self-denial, Callum and Steve realised they missed singing and strumming and decided to write half a dozen short, direct, acoustic songs suitable for playing in the corners of darkened bars. A series of small gigs went down a storm and the need for more ego-inflation quickly followed along with the desire to write more songs and play in an acoustic-fuelled band. In July 2005 Colin was persuaded to pick up his sticks and electricity was rediscovered in Jan 2007 through Ewan on bass to complete the line-up of TEN STOREYS HIGH.
2006-8 has seen the band playing to a very varied audience at Medina (Acoustic Edinburgh), Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh University Freshers Ball, Hairth of Knockrach Festival, Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh and Galashiels, the main stage at Edinburgh’s Spectrum Festival at the Queens Hall and Capitol in Glasgow. The band has hosted a monthly residency at Edinburgh’s ‘The Village’ in Leith and most recently The Voodoo Rooms promoting other local bands with an acoustic drive through the FRIENDS OF TEN STOREYS HIGH.
TEN STOREYS HIGH were pleased to announce the release of their debut single, ‘GOOD THINGS’, on 11th June 2007 on Sweet Day Records launching the single by supporting THE PROCLAIMERS in JUNE 2007 in a series of gigs around Scotland. The single received airplay and resulted in a handful of great reviews.
CURRENTLY SERVING:
With the grateful support of the Ten Storeys High Music Moguls and special recording guests, the band has completed their first album - THE THRILL OF THE FALL. Produced by DJ/ producer HOOVERFISH (aka FLASH CALLHAN) and featuring eleven original tracks the album is scheduled for release in June 2008.
OUTSTANDING WARRANTS:
To launch the album and break-in some new material the band will embark on a small tour of intimate venues around Scotland in June / July 2008.
CHANCES OF PAROLE:
A batch of new songs are well underway and the Summer will see a focus on new material with the band aiming to record a SECOND ALBUM around September 2008.
BAD INFLUENCES:
Midway through a radio interview / live set at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe the band discovered they share absolutely no common musical influences and sound nothing like the ones they did cite. Other folk have mentioned Frank Sinatra covering Mark Lanegan backed by Primus and Killing Joke.
