Being a Spasm Baby and getting played on the BBC.

It's been a tough couple of months trying to keep up momentum and push the album to anyone who might listen or purchase.  One way has been radio.  We've been quite lucky with radio play, generally, and for 'Whipping Clowns' with plays on the BBC, and a list of internet stations.  Vic Galloway who does a show on BBC Radio One, and another on BBC Radio Scotland has always been really good to us, and recently we've been getting played on BBC Radio Bristol Introducing, presented by Richard Pitt and Gary Smith.  They played 'Song for Katie' and read out a bit of the press release, which was a great introduction to the band.  The bad press reviews makes us laugh, especially reviews written by people who don't seem to like anything.  One Edinburgh magazine reviewed the album without saying much either way, but after asking a few folk about that particular publication, I was told that in actual fact it's put together by idiots.  Our favourite review was from Maarten Schiethart writing in Pennyblack Music who said "Forget about your Maximo Ferdinand Monkeys, Vacuum Spasm Babies are the band for the future".  That made us smile, a lot.  

Playing a few live gigs also made us smile.  We've had a riot playing the tracks live a various places in Edinburgh, and getting to hear other new bands.  We especially liked Rodent Emporium, who i think like us like to make a lot of noise, and have a bit of humour in what they do. We have some very odd people coming to see us live, and based on the way the album turned out, we wouldn't have expected anything else.

Myspace for future gigs, and amazon and itunes to buy the album.
