Fig gettin’ midgey with it…

September 19, 2007

Hi Figsters The Fig traveled up to Glen Elg for Amplifico’s Highland Safari in August. The Fig Brothers were pretty well lubricated by the time we got to play – but we had a blast. Donna ‘Fico had misplaced her voice, so we Figged a little longer than expected. A shame we didn’t get to hear [...]

Fabulous Furry Fig Brothers

July 18, 2007

Hey there Figsters! This is a blast from the past. Any similarity between these guys and the Fig is coincidental – honest! But here is another Fig influence for sure… enjoy. Tim Fig

Safari Sagoodi (Sasorry!)

July 17, 2007

Hola los figs! Time for a quick update I think – it’s been 2 months since the last one so I wouldn’t want anyone to think our standards were slipping! EP Progress We are making excellent progress with recording our forthcoming EP, which should see the light of day later in the year (probably just in time for [...]

Rotten Fig

May 31, 2007

‘Tis true, I have been a rotten Fig of late. Keith has really been keeping the Fig alive while I have been looking after bug-full babies and then have been bug-full myself – and still am. So thanks for your ongoing enthusiasm Keith and keeping me just out of reach of the Black Dog. I’m [...]

Big Band Mash-up!

May 18, 2007

Another solo set for the Keefster – Tim’s family have been struck down by a bug so he’s is looking after them – with the Dead Beat Club tonight at the Mercat, Maitland Street, Edinburgh, 9pm and it’s free! I know it’s last minute, but I’ve only known about it for about a week, so [...]

So figgies, what’s been goin’ down?

May 16, 2007

It’s been a while since we last posted here, so I thought it was time for an update… New album coming along nicely Our new album is progressing steadily. I built a little web app to let Tim and I track our progress, but I haven’t managed to get it online yet. I’ll post a link once [...]

Kinchie Nae Mair

February 27, 2007

Kinchie Nae Mair Oh well, all good things must come to an end… Alas poor Glen Kinchie I knew him well Beer-Ratio! Thanks to the Bull Moose for his contribution to fig throatiness and vocal character. All singers need fuel and since there’s 2 of us, it just doesn’t go as far as it should. Boo! Lovely [...]

Figgy Figgins

February 27, 2007

So what have we been up to? We’ve been comitting our labours to “wax”. This is our progress…. looking more like a full album than an E.P. … maybe a 2 E.P. set?

Sensible Fig? Sensi Fig.

February 6, 2007

So I am sensible am I? Hmmm? Yes, another sensible post from T-Fig. The voice of reason; the face of an angel; the libido of a Bonobo. Ohhhhhhhhh to be a Bonobo (http://www.bonobo.org/whatisabonobo.html). Do Bonobos eat Figs? Yeah maaan, of course they figgin’ do! They also eat slugs and soil, as does yer very own K-Fig. [...]

New Figs Germinating

February 6, 2007

Aha! You thought we’d forgotten about blogging, didn’t you? But no, we’ve been busy, see? Making new figs… no, not human babies (we’ve done that) – musical babies. We are keeping our heads down forging and creating, rockin’ and a-rollin’, writing and recording new things for you fighounds out there. The objective is that this year [...]
