Rising from the midge-infested swamps of Pitlichory’s Deep South, Forlorn Haggis were birthed last week in the blistering heat of a Scottish summer. Inspired by The Archies and Napalm Death, their explosive live set underwent a radical revamp last Tuesday after the life-changing Ron Hovis Christmas single first aired on Radio 3, that change in direction now earmarking them as the premier new force in melodic rock. Built around the questionable talents of young cowbell sensation Duncan Donutz, the band is inextricably rooted to its Scottish heritage, yet features members from as far afield as India, Chile, Madagascar and Cleckheaton...
Now signed to a multi-album deal, we at Lost The Plot Records are proud to announce that next week sees the launch of ‘You Got A Fag?’, the epic first single from their hotly anticipated debut album ‘Viagra Blues…’
Working with our internationally renowned, in-house songwriting team – Stan the odd job man, and tea lady Doris Harbottle – the band laboured most of last Friday afternoon to come up with the ten tracks that will surely make this the best debut album you’ve heard in years… trust us, insiders are already quaking from its seismic reverberations!
Produced and mixed remotely by renowned Belgian bricklayer Widdly Diddlesteen from his exclusive padded cell in Broadmoor, and recorded at various garden sheds in Arbroath, this takes state of the art to hitherto uncharted levels of mediocrity.
Says Donutz: “This is the band I’ve been longing to be a part of for at least a fortnight. We’ve had serious problems with a succession of drummers along the way, some of them could even keep time, but since BD joined us last Friday, it now feels like the sky’s the limit! We have a warm up gig supporting Fred and his accordion in the works canteen on Monday, but after that no doubt the stadium offers will come flooding in. I feel I’m ready for it all, my mum’s already warned me about girls from Wales…”
“All the albums I’ve recorded before this, even where they paid me more than minimum wage, pale in comparison to Forlorn Haggis,” adds singer Randi Romeo, “I’m definitely in this for the long haul!”
