the aphrodisiacs biography

the aphrodisiacs are:
stephen mcfall - vocals, guitar, keyboard
kevin carlin - drums and bass
john cairns - guitar and bass

the aphrodisiacs are a three piece crazy experimental band fae motherwell.

sometime in 2002 they realised they weren't playing music with any other bands and decided to do something about it. with a palmtop digital studio and super mario racing on in the background they set out to record something with a dance beat and wierd keyboard noises. the results were to become the title track from their new album, "this is a campaign". john peel liked the track, started playing it on his show on radio one and soon invited them down to the world famous maida vale studios in london to record a session for his show. later that year the track featured in his festive fifty chart, voted for by listeners to his show.

since then they've spent their money on equipment and their time playing across scotland and recording their debut album in their studio in motherwell. they've also found time to record a track for peel's burns day show. over the last year, as well as peel playing all the tracks they've recorded, they've picked up plays on stations across scotland.

to celebrate the release of their album they're going back down to london to record a second session for john peel.

"this is a campaign", their debut album, will be out on sl records in november.
