Under the Radar: Retro Video Club
Edinburgh quartet Retro Video Club’s career got off to a flying start in 2017 with a sold out show at The Mash House. Fast forward to present day, and they’ve hit a lot of significant milestones, including sold out shows at The Liquid Rooms, the 1,000 capacity Assembly Rooms and Saint Lukes in Glasgow.
They’ve also supported Bastille, The Hunna and – one of their highlights – The Libertines at The Barrowland Ballroom. Their songs have been synced on TV shows such as Made in Chelsea and Tattoo Fixers, they’ve had airplay from BBC Scotland, BBC Radio nan Gàidheal, XS Manchester and Amazing Radio, and they’ve been championed by our sister paper Edinburgh Evening News.
