Before Rascalton took to the stage to headline their gig, I had the chance to catch up with the lads backstage in Beat Generator Live! in Dundee...
You have played Dundee a few times now, what's it like when you play here?
Yeah it's been pretty good, we've played it twice before. Nice venue and the crowds have been decent. We supported Baby Strange here and also played at the all day event with loads bands. It will be good to see the crowd tonight who are actually just here to see us.
Is there any Dundee bands that you have heard of before,apart from obviously The View?
Aye, we've played with Sahara a few times, they are really good.
Have you heard of the local support bands The Roques or Saint-Louie before?
We played with The Roques the last time we were through, they were class.
I saw you at Electric Fields, what was that like to play at?
It was class man, a career highlight I think definitely we enjoyed it. Being on the big stage was weird but good. Our first proper outdoor festival gig and we got a decent crowd as well which was great.
Is there any new music in the pipeline? Album, EP or a single?
Aye we were actually meant to be recording this week! But technical issues stopped us recording yesterday. We got in and were just about to start tracking the drums and the guys computer just broke down. We just had to call it a day. Gutted! A single with a December release I believe.
I believe this is the first night of your tour. Is there any places you are particularly looking to play at?
Looking forward to playing Aberdeen on Saturday. It's always a wee bit of a weird crowd but the venues cool! Tunnels is class. Last few times we've played there, we've played with Idles and its been packed so fully its the same with folk wanting to come and see us.
You are also playing down south quite a bit aren't you?
We're playing Manchester and erm... eh.. I honestly can't tell you man! We are away every weekend for the next two or three months.
What's in store for 2019?
New music is going to be the main thing, it will be the priority for next year. We are away too much to write.
So time in the studio then?
Yeah man definitely.
Whats your overall thoughts on the Scottish music scene?
It's the best scene there is, especially in Glasgow. The rest of Scotland is good as well but the Glasgow scene is the best.
Who would be your favourite band in the Scottish scene?
Us! Na... Baby Strange... Although there are far too many to choose from. The Dunts and Voodoos at the moment, the newer bands, although Baby Strange overall!
