Artist description Welcome to the world of Range#Eleven, a five piece rockin’ (in a subtle way!) band from the Edinburgh area of Scotland. Although the song writing partnership of Gregg Miller and Steve Dickson has been a creative entity for some time now it is only in the past year or so that they have got it together and formed a band. It has been one hell of a year culminating a lengthy run at No 1 in the Peoplesound Indie Rock Chart (www.peoplesound.com/artist/rangeeleven)and a support slot with Deacon Blue plus the offer of a support slot with the Supernaturals - which a band member, who shall remain nameless, turned down as he ” thought the drummer was away”, much to the dismay of The Management! Other highlights of the year for Range#Eleven have included sell out gigs all over Edinburgh and the Central Belt, the recording of two demo CDs and several of the live gigs, the filming of their very own “Rockumentary” (in the final stages of editing), appearances on Grampian and LTV – the Cable TV company for the Glasgow area (they were immediately asked back!) and the launch of the band’s website www.rangeeleven.com Work on Range#Eleven’s first Album “Keep It Right” (which has been funded by some heavy duty sponsors -hip) is now complete and plans for the official launch include a live performance from an open topped bus touring the streets of Edinburgh (if the weather gets better!) The band are keen to progress and further gigs are planned throughout Scotland and beyond during 2002 Here’s hoping you can find some space for Range#Eleven in your busy lives!

Albums Keep It Right

Press Reviews Dave Arcari - Editor Music Scene 26th March 2002 Another 'Demo listen' trip into the grey area between demo and bona fide release. This time round, though, it's easier to draw some lines. From the shrink wrapping and nicely designed packaging to the nine tracks of pretty impressive pop-rock and release-quality production. Keep it Right is every inch a real album. Add a record label (start your own with this!),a barcode and sort out some distribution and you have the full monty. Demo Listen has been criticised for attaching too much importance to the format/packaging in the past, so moving on to the sounds - we're still impressed! Five of the tracks were recorded live at Range#Eleven's show with Deacon Blue at the City Hall last year - live recordings are hard to get right, but the mix and overall sound on these tracks is just fine and they sit nicely with the other tracks recorded at Perth's Clearwater studio Range#Eleven's style is fairly safe pop-rock - not ground breaking generally, but the quality of song writing and performance helps the material stand out. Track four 'Blind Eyed View' is one of the more contemporary sounding songs on the CD and is a fantastic, energetic and emotion-charged track. One of the live Tracks, 'Take in Somewhere' is another great track that shows that there are plenty new ideas that just need teased out the arrangements a little. More tracks like this and Range#Eleven won't just have a great album, they'll have a bunch of hits too. Other noteworthy tracks are Fanfares Create and an acoustic version of the title track 'Keep it Right' which also appears as one of the live tracks. As mentioned, the musicianship and performance all round is well above average. The vocals are particularly strong, confident and well-executed - good vocalists at grass roots level are hard to find and Range#Eleven have a potential star in Alan Yuill. There's loads of info on the band's website at www.rangeeleven.com and links to their Peoplesound site where you can listen, download and buy tracks Dave Arcari
