Edinburgh band Rieser will launch their new EP, Drinking Den and Edinburgh’s latest live music venue Maggie’s Chamber on 3 April 09.
Located just off the cobbled streets in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, Maggie’s Chamber is a brand new FREE music night that will showcase the best of established and emerging Scottish music talent every Friday night from 9pm.
Juxtaposing the popular Three Sisters Bar, Maggie’s Chamber, could not be more different, offering an intimate and old-fashioned speak-easy style venue, with vaulted candlelit ceilings and relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Two years on from their acclaimed debut album, Rieser will preview their new four-track EP Drinking Den at the Maggie’s Chamber, with limited edition cds also available to purchase (general release date 04.05.09). Bands supporting the Edinburgh quartet include I hear Echos and Ben Sturrock. Other booked acts in coming weeks including Midas Fall, Dirty Modern Hero and The Ok Social Club (formerly KiDDO) and Yoshi.
Able to accommodate both seasoned gig-goers and more casual music fans, the new state-of-the-art sound system utilises the strong acoustics from the original 17th Century curved ceiling. Set back from the stage, a well stocked bar surrounded by deep leather sofas, gives a comfortable vantage point for those looking to relax with Scotland’s best new music still very much in earshot.
A little opulence is added to the whole experience, with a personal table service offering Maggie’s champagne cocktails and a range of drinks promotions, right through to 1am. Areas of the bar can also be pre-reserved for groups of friends really wanting to create a true VIP feeling to their night.
Rieser’s bass player and vocalist, Michael Edie said: “We are really excited about teaming up with Maggie’s Chamber for the launch of our aptly-named EP, Drinking Den. You would never have thought that such a well-known bar like The Three Sisters could be home to such a hidden gem. The venue, acoustics and equipment available are all fantastic and there is sure to be a great atmosphere on the night.
“The Maggie’s Chamber team have worked hard to support us and the other bands in order to get an excellent line up for the launch night and future gigs.”
