The Draymin - ProfilesArchive

About Me

The Draymin started out in Rosyth, Fife, Scotland. We bought an old garage that was put up for sale, we dismantled it, then rebuilt and soundproofed it, and now that's where the time is spent coming up with the tunes, THE HUT was born!!
We take inspiration from bands such as The Verve, The Stone Roses, BRMC and South to name but a few.
Our career milestones to date would be playing the TBreak Stage at T in the Park in 2007, as well as making it across the pond to play at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas in March â€™07. A few months previous to this we were invited to EMI Publishing Studios in London to record a 3 track demo, we gained some valuable experience from this.
So far this year we have been Jim Gellatlyâ€™s XFM Xposure Showcase band and were recently invited back to do an acoustic session with him. We were also invited along to BBC Radio Scotland to record a live session with Vic Galloway, which you can listen to via this site. We have recently played the Rockness, Live @ Loch Lomond, Wickerman and Belladrum festivals over the summer.
We have just recently released a limited edition E.P which is available through download sites such as iTunes etc and also cd's are available through our ebay store. We played to over 700 people at the E.P Launch Night at Velocity in Dunfermline, various clips of this can be seen here, a superb night!
Bands we have supported are: The Skids @ The Glen Pavilion - Dunfermline, Inspiral Carpets @ ABC Glasgow, Louis XIV @ The Luminaire - London, The Enemy @ King Tutâ€™s - Glasgow, The Bluetones @ Velocity - Dunfermline, The Courteeners @ Moshulu â€“ Aberdeen, The Paddingtons @ The Beat Club - Glasgow and The Doghouse - Dundee, The Complete Stone Roses @ Fat Sams - Dundee.
