I've been following this Edinburgh based band since 2007, however back then they were known as 'The Mystic Floorboards' and as the years have gone by they've seen various members join & leave the band. Finally the quad of Dan, Rory, Fergus & Jack created Bwani Junction in June 2009.
As well as being great guys they also create some amazing tunes too. They released their debut album 'Fully Cocked' in November 2011 & are currently touring the UK with the Little Comets, also a northern band based in Newcastle. I remember seeing the Little Comets supporting One Night Only in 2008, so who knows where Bwani will be in 4 years time!
They played on the BBC Introducing stage last year at T in the Park; a summer music festival held in Perth. Due to such a great response they have been asked to perform again this year; no doubt they'll have even more fans by then.
Bwani are best known for their song 'Two Bridges', the first single of which they've created a music video for. This song goes down a storm in places like Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh where the band are well known & have spurred a loyal gathering.
The band have also played a few gigs in London; Madame Jojo's in Soho, the Dublin Castle & The Barfly in Camden to name a few. They are regularly played on BBC Introducing Scotland on Radio 1 & have been recognised by top DJs in up & coming music.
I strongly recommend that you download their album: Fully Cocked.
Also, take a peak at their video for 'Two Bridges' to give you a taste of what they're all about.
A brilliant young band, which we'll definitely hear more about in the near future.
