ICON 66

BIOGRAPHY:

Four piece punk act formed in 2007 by Ryan Neish (drums, also with Scarlet), Ross Beagley (guitar / vocals), Scott Blackhurst (guitar) & Stephen (bass). In early 2008 they reached the semi-final of the Council run Battle Of The Bands, but their chances were scuppered when Neish managed to get himself thrown out of the venue!. The band then embarked on a run of dates, including one at Big In Falkirk. Stephen then left the band, being replaced by Mikey McIlreavey (bass) as they signed to Death Cap Records. The band released their debut album, "Dreams Aren't Made For Liars" in summer 2008. Later in the year the band starred in a music video made by Kersiebank Community Project.
2009 began with a couple of dates in Glasgow, followed by a date at the Unsigned Festival in Falkirk Town Hall in April. The band then played at Big In Falkirk in May. By 2010 McIlreavey had left the band.
