Introducing... Any Color Black

Published on Friday 20 March 2009 17:07

The story of how Louise and Andy - two halves of Glaswegian electro-rock duo Any Color Black - came together is quite appropriate: "We met at 4am one morning on Glasgow's Buchanan Street while in search of some post drink snacks and a taxi home. Somehow we ended up in a shopping trolley and have been tolerating each other ever since."

Appropriate, because the music of Any Color Black is synonymous with a properly debauched night out - a distorted yet focussed musical vision that combines throbbing electro-bass and frenetic guitars (although the shopping trolley doesn't feature in the end product).

Having supported the likes of Goose and Ladyhawke in 2008, as well as releasing their debut EP 'Touch Me' , they kicked off 2009 with an o2 Academy Live tour and an Apple Store performance.

We didn't ask about the spelling of 'color' but we can only guess that they plan to break America some time soon.
