Posable Action Figures are Gareth Goodlad (guitar and vocals) and John Alexander (drums, samples and backing vocals), an electro, pop-rock band from Edinburgh.
For the past year, they’ve been tucked away in a Leith basement, writing and rehearsing, and released their self-titled EP (produced by David Lloyd of Stillhound / Discopolis) at the beginning of the month. The results are marvellous; epic guitar riffs, infectious vocal melodies, tight staccato drums and samples – a brilliant debut. Single, Mainline received a spin on Vic Galloway’s BBC Radio Scotland show last week and you can watch the video for our favourite Not At All at https://youtu.be/ti72gxc0xJg
The duo play Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s this Friday, the Electric Circus on 20 May, Glasgow’s BLOC on 31 May and ButeFest on the Isle of Bute, 29-31 July. Get the EP free at https://www.facebook.com/posableactionfigures
