About Me

The Heebie Jeebies are an indie pop electro rock band based in Glasgow
We have been together as The Heebie Jeebies for about a year and a half now, mainly gigging in the Glasgow area with occasional trips to Edinburgh.
During our live shows crowds have been known to stay all the way through a set, sometimes even nodding their heads or tapping there foot in time to the music, there have also been unconfirmed rumours of people smiling as well.
At a recent gig we all nearly wore stripy jumpers, this is the closest we have ever got to having "a look".
Our name comes from an episode of Rab C Nesbit. The one where Rab meets the Heebie Jeebie monster (a pink elephant). We thought it was funny at the time!
We have had some radio play from xfm Scotland and various internet stations. We have also had a few good reviews of our latest recordings. King Tuts chose us as artist of the month at there Your Sound Event and we have been told that our song "The Coolest Trainers in The World" is on the their juke box. Iain's mum played our demo to her class of seven year olds and they liked it, they even started singing along to the chorus of "Little Disease".
Our influences are pretty varied, we can never make up our mind whether to play dark menacing songs or catchy pop tunes - if we dont hate the songs after a month they usually stay in the set.
