Hullo all!

Beatnic Prestige will be releasing a live album at the end of January and will be supporting it with a gig at Velocity on Saturday January 30th 2010.

The 10 song album is called 'There We Were'. It's a collection of some of the tracks that we've been playing at gig's over the last three years, with one or two bits and pieces of new stuff thrown in for good measure. It was recorded live, so there's no fancy over dubs or trippy instruments used. We recorded it as we play the songs live. The full track listings will be announced in the next week or so.

Hopefully the album paints a picture of what we've been doing over the last couple of years and for us, it's a bit of a celebration. 'Billy' the drummer, is leaving and the Velocity gig will be his last with us. So we'll have a right good party for him!

We'll be dropping a few of the songs on the album so if you want to hear them you'll need tae buy the album when we release it! The idea is to start gigging again with the new drummer and a brand new set of songs around March time.

We'll only be producing 250 copies of the album and it'll be onsale at the Velocity gig for £4, as well as Third Base and Kenny's Music (£6). When they're gone, they're gone!

As for the Velocity gig all the details are on the poster below. We've got three tip top bands playing the bill in the shape of THE RAY SUMMERS from Falkirk, DEAD SEA SOULS from Bathgate and Dunfermline lads THE REVIVALS. It doesn't get a lot better than that for 6 quid! Tickets are onsale now at ticketweb:

They will also be onsale at Third Base and Kennys Music in the next couple of weeks

As the title suggests.

We're looking for a new drummer for the new year. Butch has decided he can no longer commit as much time and effort as he'd like so has decided to call it a day. He will be playing the remainder of our booked gigs, probably until the end of January. We obviously wish him well

Any interested drummers should get in touch with us via beatnic_prestige@hotmail.com

Cheers the noo

Hullo!!

As a result of the Pars defeat to the wee team in Fife on Saturday, we have decided to take a few weeks break from gigging.

We've been at it non stop for the best part of 3 years now and not really had a proper rest to work on a load of new stuff. So now is the time.

Over the next 3 months (Sept, Oct, Nov) we'll be hauled up in 'The Shed' writing, recording and filming. Hopefully by the end of it we'll have a new set of tunes for your listening pleasure. As always, we'll post new demo's & video's on our page and will keep you updated with any goings on via the web-cam, blogs and bulletins. We've almost finished a new tune already and hopefully we'll have it posted within the week. It's called 'String 'Em Up'

The plan is to polish off a brand new set and tour Scotland with it in December. Following that we'll be looking at another jaunt down south and maybe start to think about an album.

Cheers for the now
Love BP
