ABOUT
Folk-rock/Americana/Acoustic
Fake Gods is an acoustic folk-rock duo from central Scotland. We are looking for gigs around the central belt. The band’s warm and natural sound is a product of an organic music making progress which has been honed over several years.
The band’s first gigs in 2005 were very well-received and subsequent shows have garnered similar acclaim. After writing songs through much of 2006, the band convened at a church hall in 2007 to lay the foundations for its debut album, the aptly titled ‘Wine To Water’. Songs therein range from the poignant, reflective ‘Shattered’ and ‘Wine To Water’ to the quirky, angst-fuelled ‘The 28’.
The entire album can be streamed/downloaded at www.fakegods.bandcamp
In August 2010, Fake Gods released 'Chords of Human Kindness' EP, also available for free at the bandcamp link above.
