The Catburgers – I’ve Got a Friend

The Catburgers -Galashiels

I have written variations of “I had to double check this wasn’t recorded in 1989” several times on this blog, but in the case of The Catburgers the music really was recorded back in 1989, by some Edinburghers who got together after seeing The Television Personalities play. It is thanks to Slumberland (who else?) that a nine-song record of original recordings will soon be released. The band’s music does fit the 1980s Scottish indiepop mold quite well, though this I’ve Got a Friend, pre-released as a teaser, also reminds me of early Lucksmiths and yes, that means I love it.
