We Were Promised Jetpacks

We Were Promised Jetpacks formed in Edinburgh, in 2003. The band played their first gig at their school’s ‘battle of the bands’ competition, which they won. The four-piece eventually relocated to Glasgow:

“There was a time when we first moved to Glasgow (we grew up and went to school in Edinburgh, then three of us moved to Glasgow and one of us to Stirling) and started playing proper gigs in proper venues. Playing in Edinburgh before was weird as we were underage, so ended up playing some odd nights. Which was cool, but when we moved to Glasgow we were of drinking age and we started playing places like Sleazy’s and whatnot. We felt like a proper band.”

In September 2008, the band supported Frightened Rabbit during their tour for The Midnight Organ Fight.

The band signed to Fat Cat Records after the label listened to some MySpace friends of Frightened Rabbit.

On June 15, 2009, the band released their debut album, These Four Walls, and performed the album in full at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut
