We Are Here! This may be considered a bold statement from an emerging band but take note: GoGoBot mean business. Bursting onto the Scottish music scene in 2011 with a strident mix of synth anthems, pounding rock base and infectious pop melodies, GoGoBot have taken the music scene by storm.

Consisting of Marko Kelly (lead vocals and guitar), Rosie McClune (bass) and Gordon McNeil (drums), the band has developed a unique sound fuelled by their own eclectic taste and purpose. Vast arrays of influences such as the Scissor Sisters, Sparks, Muse, Bjork, Queen and Rush have merged to create a distinctive spectrum of sound. The group are not afraid to try new things and are keen to push boundaries with their music, reflections told with dark humour and intimacy, cleverly disguised within quirky pop hooks.

Referring to their music and attitude as ‘DIY’ the band built and kitted out their own studio in order to create a space which would accommodate their needs, 2011 has seen the release of the ‘See Saw Series’ - six singles released throughout the year, mixed by LA music producer Paul Lani (who has worked alongside David Bowie, Prince, Robbie Williams and U2 to name but a few).

The series has been a huge success with the singles being played on BBC Radio 1 Scotland (Ally McCrae), 6 Music (Chris Hawkins), BBC Radio 2 (Vanessa Feltz), Clyde 1 (Jim Gellatly), Clyde 2 (Billy Sloan), Moray Firth Radio (Marion Scott), Forth One, Northsound 1, Radio Borders, Tay FM, West FM, Sound FM, Clyde 2Q Radio, Original 106, Wave FM, Radio Pulse, Juice Brighton to name a few. Press coverage has included The Herald, Daily Record, Scotsman, Sun, The Sunday Mail, ScotCampus, Record of the Day and Music Week, with the band dominating music pages and receiving more often than not, the coveted Single of the Week title across the various titles.

The trio continue to go from strength to strength on the live circuit, from supporting Glasvegas on tour, to a high octave run of festivals including T in the Park, RockNess, Wickerman, Belladrum, Guilfest and Bestival where curator BBC Radio 1’s Rob Da Bank invited the band to appear not once but twice over the acclaimed weekend. Further prominent guest slots with a wide range of artists include appearances with Simple Minds, Big Country, Heaven 17, The Alarm, Olly Murs, and JLS.

To mark the finale of the ‘See Saw Series’ and a busy year on the festival circuit the band will be headlining to their home crowd at King Tut’s (NME’S best small venue 2011) on December 2nd. The appearance will mark a fitting end to a year of successful releases and electrifying live performances, this is only the start.
