We have a soft spot for Scots. Maybe it's their thick, lilting burrs or their decidedly rainy moods, but it's no secret we get regularly entranced with forlorn Scottish tunes.

In order to win, all you need to do is shoot me an email with "We Were Promised Jetpacks" in the subject line, and include your first and last name in the [...]
Fun Fun Fun Fest photo coverage concludes at Austin Town Hall. There is dust in every crevice… …of my camera gear. Day three had a weird blend to it. Starting with an interview with WWPJ, We caught OBN III and Davila 666 at Black Stage followed by WWPJ’s set, Mate of State segued to MNDR and Austra. Jumpcut to Ted Leo,dial it back to dance party with Architecture in Helsinki, back up again for Hum and then Easing out with Black Lips and Slayer (?). You know what is past [...]

After a relatively late night, Day 3 of Fun Fun Fun Fest got off to a bit of a slow start. Partially as a result of over-imbibing, but mostly due to an order of migas they must have flown in from Cuernavaca. The sun was high in the sky before I made it out to the festival grounds, which were substantially less dusty thanks to some overnight precip. Spent a little time exploring the latest in weed-smoking technology, perused some awesome concert art and stared in disbelief at the tip jars festooning the band merch booth. First [...]

Anthony Bacigalupo Okay so I know I probably said I was done with all things Iceland when I wrapped up my Iceland Airwaves coverage a couple weeks ago , but this is actually relevant for those who won't be hopping on a plane to the Blue Lagoon anytime soon. You see, while a large part of Airwaves' mandate is to bring bands and fans from the rest of the world to Iceland, it also works hard to export its own talent beyond the Bjorks and Sigur Ros', and one of its targets is none [...]

Scottish band We Were Promised Jetpacks have played in DC twice before, but this was their largest headlining show to date. Along with them were two bands they were very familiar with – bands they’ve toured with before, but on the other side of the country: Bear Hands from New York and Royal Bangs from Texas. I thought they were unusual choices, given that both of these bands play with keyboards and synths, whereas We Were Promised Jetpacks has the basic rock ‘n’ roll line-up of guitars, bass, and drums. The [...]
