The Situates

About Me

That's right folks!!!!! Glasgow's finest Rock n Roll beat combo are back to let them goooooood times ROLL!!!!!It's been a crazy few years in the lives of these good ol' lovable cheeky Situate boys. With past royalty cheques & former record company wrangles sorted out, the boys are free, back & ready to get on down & boogie. HELL YEAH!!!! And to top it all off folks, the boys have even managed to steal back their wheels from Papa Situates backyard to ride on down the road & loosen their load . . . . . thats right, so from now on in it's gonna be fun fun fun till their daddy takes their T-Bird away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So keep your eyes on the road & your hands upon the wheel for some classic Situate sounds coming your way . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . For those of you who have just hopped on the Groovy train here's a wee taster of what's happened so far - The Situates started out around 2001 when related boozing buddies Jeff, Nayland & Steve got the idea to record a few songs that they had been playing around with so drafted in Stevie & Brian to play Bass n Drums. With things jelling pretty quick the boys soon found themselves selling out venues in & around Glasgow & picking up a regular slot @ King Tuts . . . . . . . Following their release of the "Jambalaya" E.P. the band started attracting interest from record companies after noting how well they did in the sales front by themselves. With the offers coming in & a couple of songs being used for soundtracks the boys set off on a european tour. Burning down the road like flaming monkeys rockin' from Finland to Portugal culminated the early demise of the band due to a wrongful arrest & serious illness to a couple of the boys. The next few years saw rehab, councilling & adulthood set in for a few of the boys & money & legal issues sorted which eventually paved the way for the big return. So as you see we're back & ready to Rock n Roll once again but with Stevie's best mate Davie taking over Bass duties as he's currently awol somewhere south of Watford with the worst case of trench foot since WW1, phew!!!!! The Situates are here to play goodshit not bullshit so hop inside & stay on for the ride, its time to kick out the jamms motherfuckers! God bless you all!!!!
