The
Dun RingHills were formed in the autumn of 1992. The four members,
Jason, Robin, Wattie and Jon, already
had long and distinguished
musical careers in various Stornoway rock bands, such
as Andromeda Crisis, Hieronymus Bosch, Electric Blue and Zing Pop. Jason, Wattie and Robin had worked on a number
of songs during 1991, with a view to writing a rock opera called
The Funky Peatstack.
Despite writing such classics as Funky Peatstack and Peatman, the
songs never progressed beyond rough demos. |
A
vital component of this desire to be creative was the purchase
of a proper drum
machine. (Live drummers are all terminally insane !) A veritable
El Nino of songs started flooding out of the four of them. Caught
up in
the
creative rush, Jason and Wattie invested in a four track porta-studio
and before they knew it, had written 10 or so songs. Robin was press ganged into joining the band, and at Christmas 1992, they retreated to Knock Studios (the spare bedroom in Wattie and Jane’s house) and didn’t emerge until Vom Your Sproggans was complete. The new songs were publicly aired in the Stornoway Scout Hall that
December, at the first ever live Dun RingHills concert. |
