Edinburgh Popfest photos and video

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of playing some records on the Saturday night of Edinburgh Popfest. It was a great day and we had a blast playing some tunes for those hardy enough to last a 12-hour all-dayer.

This was our last song of the night - the lights had come on but no-one was ready to stop dancing just yet.

Thanks to everyone who came to Half My Heart Beats on Saturday and made it one of the most fun nights we've had since starting all this. The bands were incredible and we had a blast.

You can hear the lovely people at the Students For Scarves And Charm radio show on Subcity Radio talking a bit about the night on their last show (around the 17-18 minute mark), so have a listen to that.

We had two guest DJs last night - Krister from Swedish indiepop night Don't Die On My Doorstep and Jennifer from London-via-Chicago pop promoters Colour Me Pop. Thanks to both of them for their ace sets.
