***FINTRIBE WITH A FINIFLEX PRODUCTION***
re-entered the earths atmosphere in October 2014. They landed at The Pleasance Sessions show, curated and hosted by NEU REEKIE, where they engaged zealously with their first live performance in almost 20 years. The show received much critical acclaim and was declared a vibrant success by press and public alike.
The emergence of a new journey for Davie and John has already proven fruitful after the release of three sell out 12 reissues of their classic hits 101 and Detestimony on One Little Indian Records, and have played a haul of gigs alongside acts; The POP Group, The ORB, Young Fathers, 808 State and Andrew Weatherall . The journey ongoing, a new recording project is currently under construction at the Finiflex Production Studios in Edinburgh.
It makes perfect sense, therefore, that in preparation for the release of their new recorded work Suilven, on One Little Indian, that FiniTribe will preview this work live on the 21st of October 2016. A show entitled Suilvens Ascent will be hosted by Neu Reekie in the body of Leith.
Suilven (Scottish Gaelic: Sula Bheinn) is one of the most distinctive mountains in Scotland. Lying in a remote area in the west of Sutherland, it rises almost vertically from a sublime landscape of moorland, bogs and lochans.
Suilven is a beautiful mountain to behold and FiniTribe are about to begin their ascent.
A special premiere of new song BONUS FREAKS along with an interview with the band will be broadcast on the VIC Galloway Show BBC Radio Scotland on October 10th.
