"Electrobuddha 'Bleep Whirr, Disco!' release"

“Electrobuddha is the creation of Mark McCaffer and this debut is a gloriously sexy, groove-scored cut. Bleep, Whirr, Disco is a subversive hybrid of the most eclectic mix. Imagine The Rolling Stones jamming with The Beta Band at a Scissors Sister gig and you'll get an idea of where this album is coming from. Then add a packed Seventies disco with Jimi Hendrix and James Brown sharing DJ duties. Bizarrely, the vocals most closely call to mind Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy and it's mighty odd pairing, over the bleeping, whirring, psychedelic disco sound that Electrobuddha has created. If McCaffer can recreate this live, it will be one hell of a show. Catriona Killin. Catriona Killen - Daily Record, Glasgow, Scotland”

Bio

Described locally in Scotland in the press as soundling like 'The Stones with Hendrix and James Brown on decks', Mark (Electrobuddha) has just finished his latest album entitled 'The Psychedelic Kid' What you can hear are some examples of that album. Mark studied as a vocalist at Strathclyde University where he gained vocal honours and sang funk, grunge, blues, rock, folk and more. He was taught by the legendary Lorna Brooks appearing live on BBC Radio Scotland, and a detour some years after took him to Stockholm where he became a local stagehand and rigger for Live Nation Sweden and got to see many bands breaking through such as The Strokes, The Hives and also the very excellent Soundtracks Of Our Lives who were a big influence. Heady days with great comrades and live music, hours and hours of hard work and later to start the project Electrobuddha, before returning home to Airdrie, Scotland. Mark has just completed a post graduate in Songwriting at UWS University Scotland within the last couple of years. Electrobuddha are Mark McCaffer on vocals and guitar and programming and Graeme Proctor on drums.. All songs you hear in the music section are from the current album released October 2020 entitled 'The Psychedelic Kid' Gigs in the past have been many mostly in and around Glasgow in venues such as Bar Bloc, The Buff Club, Pivo-Pivo, Nice 'N' Sleazy before a brief resettlement for Mark to Edinburgh and a pause in music due to grief of both parents. Now looking after this long lock down of writing to get back out there giggig again as a duo!
