Fallen from graces and places like Goodbye Mr McKenzie and Blues’n’Trouble, the grizzly “auld doods” of Death Star 4 may have more than a touch of grey, but they know how to rock. More Clash than thrash, this new Edinburgh band is as fresh in its attitude as it is mature in its musical roots and experience.

A pounding rhythm section, swirling fx guitar riffs and growling vocals that take you to the dark side. Original songs with power chords and hooks you won’t escape; songs about everything from life, love and ghost towns to computer games, modern war and Mary Queen of Scots.

2006 is going to be busy for the band – new gigs, including a regular monthly slot at Edinburgh’s Three Tuns, and their first CD on the way. Not to mention the imminent appearance of episode 4 of the online adventures of the band’s 2D alter-egos.

See Death Star 4 in action on the Sat 28 January at Edinburgh’s newest venue, The eXchange, as part of livemusicX’s innovative showcase.

Death Star 4 are: Ewan Drysdale on lead vocals (original member of Goodbye Mr MacKenzie), Willie Pettigrew on bass (original member of Blues’n’Trouble), brother Roy Pettigrew on fx guitar, and drummer marc marnie (better known as one of Scotland’s leading photographers).

 

Death Star 4 are Raw Power with a Scottish Heart –
the Art of Rock Music played loud, brash and definitely 4real.
