Aberfeldy are a band formed by the singer-songwriter Riley Briggs in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2002. The band is named after the Scottish town. ==History== In 2003, Aberfeldy recorded fourteen songs with producer Jim Sutherland at his studio above Edinburgh's Bongo Club, using only one microphone and no overdubbing. The resulting tracks were licensed to Rough Trade Records and released in 2004 as the album ''Young Forever''. The single "Heliopolis by Night" was ''NMEs single of the week on release, and the follow-up "Love is an Arrow" was featured by Lorraine Kelly on GMTV's ''Kelly Plays Pop'' section. The animated video, by Chris Waitt, was nominated for an MTV award for best animated video, but lost out to the Gorillaz. The record sold out in less than a week, due to not enough copies being pressed. It reached no. 60 in the UK charts. "Summer's Gone", from the ''Young Forever'' album, saw use in a range of commercials. It was used in Argentina to advertise Quilmes beer. It was used again for a Diet Coke commercial in the USA and Canada, appearing initially during the 2007 Oscars and also during American Idol. In 2010, the song was featured in a commercial for Travelers Insurance. Drummer Ian Stoddart (one time member of Win) departed in late 2005, and was replaced by Murray Briggs, formerly of the Anarcho/street punk band Oi Polloi. A well received second album ''Do Whatever Turns You On'', produced by Calum Malcolm, was released by Rough Trade on 3 July 2006. However, in October 2006, Rough Trade announced that they no longer wished to work with the band, twelve weeks after the album's limited (UK & Australia only) release. Ruth Barrie (keyboards, vocals) and Sarah McFadyen (violin, vocals) left Aberfeldy following the 2007 Tune Up Tour. Shortly afterwards Vicky Gray (violin, keyboards, vocals) and Chris Bradley (guitar, keyboards, vocals) joined the line-up. The band completed 2007 with two sell-out gigs at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh which earned them the following great reviews. Aberfeldy released a single in October 2008, "Come On, Claire" with (17 Seconds Records ). This was followed with their third album, ''Somewhere To Jump From'', which was released on 6 September 2010 through Tenement Records, preceded by single "Malcolm" on 16 August 2010.〔(Thisisfakediy.co.uk )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aberfeldy (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
