Aidan MOFFAT & The BEST OFS
BIOGRAPHY:
Band
formed by ex-Arab Strap frontman,
Aidan Moffat, upon the demise of that act. The act made their debut with author
Ian Rankin in the Barnes & Noble bookstore in New York in spring 2007, and
their UK debut supporting Slint in August. Meanwhile, a collaboration with artist
Dave Shrigley appeared on a German compilation album in the summer.
The band
released their debut album, "I Can Hear Your Heart" on Chemikal Underground
in January 2008, with Moffat playing a couple of support slots to Mogwai in May.
That month also saw an album of Moffat rarities from 1995 released, entitled "The
Angry Buddhists". Another side project was a series of vinyl singles with
Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai, which began in summer 2008, under the name of Aloha
Hawaii.
Moffat announced his intention to release his debut solo album,
"How To Get To Heaven From Scotland" in February 2009.
