The star of Still Game and Two Doors Down will front indie band Penny Mob at an intimate Edinburgh gig.
Scottish actor Jamie Quinn, famous for roles in Two Doors Down, Still Game and Bluestone 42, will show another side to his talent when he performs as the frontman with indie rock band Penny Mob, this Sunday night at Sneaky Pete’s.
The gig will form the last leg of the band’s first short Scottish tour. The reception they have received so far has been phenomenal, so catch them in this legendary Edinburgh venue while you can!
The band’s EP Party Animal is out now and you can get tickets for the gig here.
Jamie told The Edinburgh Reporter: “The tours been going brilliantly so far, it’s our very first time playing in most of these cities and to see so many new faces singing every lyric back at you word for word is kind of mind blowing, as they’re songs that you’ve written in your living room, and we’re still quite an underground band at the moment. I’d describe us very much as an alternative rock band, we’re quite changeable from song to song, but it’s all anthemic rock. We like our big choruses and pop melodies and harmonies. But our lyrics can be quite punk infused as well at times. We love the Clash and that sort of social commentary.
“But we’re influenced by all different types of music, but our sound is very much connected to the great guitar bands of the past 60/70 years. Particularly British. My songwriting heroes are Ray Davies of the Kinks, Pete Townsend of The Who, Lennon/McCartney, Noel Gallagher, Lee Mavers from The La’s, Marc Bolan, Bowie, Dylan, the list is endless. But we believe the best pop music always comes from guitars, we’re big champions of guitar music in general, there’s enough rap and dance out there to last a million lifetimes! Haha.
“The band is all about being uplifting and inspiring people to just be who they want to be. And seeing all these news faces chanting “WE ARE THE MOB!’ back at you at the top of their lungs, with pure passion and joy, that’s what music is all about. Connecting with people. Giving them a bit of escapism, and putting on the best show you can for them. WE ARE THE MOB!”
