| Who are they?
The Alpacinos have been together playing punk music for 5 years. Colin (Drums), Grunter (Guitar) and Eddy (Vocals) lived together as siblings for all their unfortunate lives, while Davy (Bass) and Jamie (Guitar) joined the melting pot later. They are based in Glasgow and the surrounding area.
What they done?
The boys have played their brand of fast, filthy, punk at around 300 gigs all over the UK with a great response. The highlight has been support slots with Capdown of Householdname Records and New York band, The Step Kings, of Roadrunner Records. The Alpacinos have also enjoyed gigging with Tuuli, The Selecter, Sona Fariq, and Groop Dogdrill – to name-drop a few.
Before putting out their last EP Aw That Kill Yer Granny Music, the band were lucky enough to play a live session on Vic Galloway’s ”Air” programme on BBC Radio Scotland. The Alpacinos have also received attention from BBC Radio 1, getting airplay on Mike Davies’ punk show “The Lock Up” and on Vic Galloway’s “Session in Scotland”. Jim Gellatly has continually given the band support by playing many of their tunes on his Beat 106 radio show “The Beatscene”.
The Alpacinos have worked hard to capture the essence of their live performance in the studio, producing 2 Singles and 3 EPs. They finished their latest offering This Bag is Not a Toy in July 2005.
What They Going to Do Next?
As part of their ongoing bid to take over the world, The Alpacinos will continue to gig their arse off with a UK tour planned for September 2005. Additionally, they’re going to launch their new 4 track EP – This Bag is Not a Toy before the end of 2005. |
