Mixtape Album Launch – December 18th, Edinburgh

By The Banana Sessions | Published: November 24, 2011

PosterDo you remember your first mixtape? Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. Those that do, cast your mind back for a moment…

Right, that’s enough. Back in the room. We have an album launch proposal to get on with here.

PALS! The Banana Sessions proudly present our debut album, Mixtape. Over the course of four years; things change, people change and song-writing changes. Over the course of four years, this is what The Banana Sessions have been writing. This mixtape was made for you. It’s cost us a whole bunch of money, emotional (and slightly mental) trauma & an abundance of wrinkles… but it’s landed. The time has come to celebrate this unleashed beast of a record with us. So whip your party poppers out.

They’re hip hop and we’re not.

By Roberta Banana | Published: October 17, 2011

We’re dead chuffed to announce that we’re supporting the almighty Stanley Odd at The Liquid Room this Friday 21st October! If you haven’t heard of Stanley Odd, sort your life out and get stuck into their cheeky new EP by clicking here. That way you’ll know all the words by Friday and you’ll be able to sing along at the top of your lungs.

Stanley Odd 'The Day I Went Deaf' EP

Also featuring on the night will be some filthy, beatsy goodness from Tactus, who’ll be warming you up for some bangin’ Banana chans. Once you’re suitably warmed, we’ll be riling you up even further to ensure you’re in fine fettle for some good old-fashioned Stanley Odd mania.

It’s going to be one of those nights where you’ll probably get off your face and leave singing “I’ve Had The Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing. Basically because we’re confident that’s what’s going to happen.

See you Friday pals. Get your hip hop shoes on.
