OVER THE WALL come east from Glasgow to launch their debut album, Treacherous, at Edinburgh's Voodoo Rooms on Friday 12th November, with support from Glasgow's How To Swim and new Edinburgh band The Oates Field.

If you've never seen Over The Wall before, then, well, you've been missing out. Limbo vividly remembers the first time we saw these two cheeky chappies do their thing, at a T Break heat in Spring 2007. They were one of ...the most refreshing acts that night, if not in the whole competition - there was something very special about their quirky combination of new wave synths, electronic beats and guitars, passionate lyrics, witty banter and that very rousing trumpet solo by Ben Prentice at the end. Every single time Limbo has seen Over The Wall play, they have had a resounding reaction from the crowd. It's hard NOT to like what they do.

This date will be their sixth appearance at the club and doubles as Limbo's third birthday party (having launched on Thursday 20th November 2007), so you can expect a veritable celebration of everything the club has achieved in the last three years, and then some, to accompany that of one of its favourite bands in Scotland.

HOW TO SWIM

How to Swim are an orchestral pop-rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. Since 2001, they have released a variety of music to some acclaim. These include The Littlest Orgasm EP, released on Stow College’s Electric Honey label, and the forthcoming Retina (or More Fun than a Vat of Love), to be released in September 2010. There are nine musicians in the band’s current line-up; guitars, strings, brass and keyboards all make regular appearances in their energetic live show. How to Swim write songs about corpses in underground stations, the disadvantages of partial blindness, love, death, sword-swallowers, deliberate disfigurement, anxiety and happiness. They could be your favourite band, if you'd let them burrow into your heart and lay their little eggs.
