ST BOSWELLS LIVE! have secured a coup with the news that Stillhound will perform at the festival this Saturday, June 4.

Fergus Cook, Laurie Corlett-Donald, Dave Lloyd and Cat Myers are the school friends that make up the band who are already being compared to Belle & Sebastian and Biffy Clyro in some quarters.

The band released their debut single in May 2015, since which live shows have been a jewel-like rarity. The electro group plays with ceremonial vocal layers backed up by a pop chart-ready beat that has an unmistakable Scottish flavour. An album is very much in the pipeline, and unheard tracks are likely to emerge at this very gig.

 Clash Magazine described them as: "Seeming to exist mid-way between the avant pop of Tears For Fears and the glacial electronics of Warp duo Boards Of Canada, new single 'Seethe Unseen' is hugely atmospheric. The vocals slide by in wisps of sound, while the spiralling percussion drives the whole package forward."

 Promoter Keith Farnish said,: “It’s great to be able to put on literally any genre of music we like at St Boswells Live! This is the first time we have brought synth-based pop music to the club, something Scotland has been at the forefront of for over 30 years, and I am really excited to hear what Stillhound can do in our superb venue.”

 They will be supported by stablemate Angus Gunn who guested at the festival a few years ago. A songwriter, singer, writer and performer, Angus has been writing songs for as long as he can remember. He is entirely self taught as a song-writer and guitarist, and has nurtured a very special ability to craft powerful songs and bring them to life.

 Tickets are available priced £10 (£5 for under 18s) at St Boswells Post Office or online at www.stboswellslive.com. They will also be available on the door at the full price of £12 (£6 under 18s).
