INDIE REFERENDUM M Re: Music Family Trees: : ene Scotland’s indie-pop scene (722)
Amazing! I love indie scene. y Comment posted by Nancy Montalvo on list.co.uk I know it’s ‘not b comprehensive’, but no Arab n Strap? The Reindeer Section also seems a pretty glaring omission, since it should basically be at the center of the chart with everything else leading to it someway or another. Comment posted by o.uk BaronessHeather on list.co.uk
r Section No mention of The Reindeer Section which included Colin McIntyre, some Belle and Sebastian to name but a few. Comment posted by Charlie Friel on list.co.uk
Nice idea, but Duglas T Stewart did a better one. Biggest omissions for me would be Bobby Gillespie, Jim McCulloch, Sean Dickson, Sushil Dade, Joe McAlinden, Jim Reid, William Reid, Jim Beattie, Isobel Campbell and all their respective bands/acts. All of which have ties to those already listed in the family tree above. Comment posted by Ross Smith on list.co.uk It is a very tiny tree as the author admits – very easy to construct something that encompasses the whole indie scene. The Vaselines easily link to Chemikal Underground via family and production
MUSIC FAMILY TREES SCOTLAND’S INDIE-POP SCENE Mapping out the local music scene in Scotland, one sub-genre at a time, we continue our series of Family Trees with the twee-pop, C86 and melodic rock acts on the go just now. Spot any missing members, or just formed a new band with one of them? Go to list.co.uk to add your comments. Words: Malcolm Jack BELLE & SEBASTIAN

connections connections (Paul Savage); Franz drag (Paul Savage); Franz drag back into the 90s via the Yummy back into the 90s via the Yummy Fur; one of Withered Hand plays in the Second Hand Marching Band, which itself links to many of today's underground acts, and the drummer Alun Thomas has worked with The Leg amongst others, taking you to Dawn of the Replicants. Gavin from Camera Obscura has drummed for and produced a load of bands which encompass everyone from the Hector Collectors to Danananaykroyd, while the Bandits link into the Pearli shers and, if memory serves, St Deluxe (which via another family connection leads you to 70s pub act Sneeky Pete!).

via Sushil Dade via Sushil Dade provides another line to BMX Bandits and also Soup Dragons and Future Pilot AKA). Do you want to see my collection of anoraks? Comment posted by Tim Footman on list.co.uk
I think that this family tree is just another rel ection of the manner in which the Scottish ‘indie scene’ became a ‘members only club’ with little attention paid to those who didn’t i t with the cliques.
