Highly Evolved
Indie rock band from Ayr RainTown was started as a small uni project by our four members Robert Lithgow, Jamie McAtee, BJ Max-Who and Hazel Mclean.
The four quickly came together with ideas and wasted no time at all getting demos down from fun indie pop inspired tunes to James Brown funk tracks. With the help of Manager Megan Mitchell the team quickly found themselves properly set in the studios based in Ayr moving forwards in a fast motion as it seemed each day someone had a new brighter and better idea than their last to create or bring a track together.
The excitement, the friendships, the fandom, and the best gigs of your life - it all starts here đ Ticketmaster Concerts & Tours
A story in Three slides.
Our EP finally has a confirmed release date of September first. A delay we can only apologise for.
We hope that everyoneâs excited to stream.
After the release the band has decided to go our own ways and do our own thing due to separation of interests at the moment for everyone involved. We may Play together again some day, We may Not.
In either scenario we know that the main thing here is we can all walk away knowing we have accomplished so much within a year and canât wait for what comes ahead for each person.
But for now weâve been Highly Evolved (RainTown) x x x
Sorry to announce this in poor fashion but our EP will not be releasing tomorrow as per original plans.
Recording and distribution issues arising late into the release schedule have delayed this and pushed us back a few weeks.
Right now our focus is on overcoming this and trying to sort out the disarray the bands is currently in.
Apologies.
Not long to go now !!

See you there x

RainTown Reviewed by Scott Pyper.
The thing I like about RainTown is the theyâre not trying to be like any other band out there, and theyâre not trying to model themselves around a sound, that on paper at least, would guarantee them an audience, so if you want to hear Oasis, Gerry Cinnamon or heavens forbid George Ezra, well those guys and sounds are already kicking about out there and theyâre replica tribute acts.
What I get from RainTown is that theyâre just out to have fun and play music.
Born from a University music course, which didnât do Belle and Sebastian any harm when the first fruits of that project produced Tigermilk and If Youâre Feeling Sinister, both recorded within a year of each other, these guys have been taking their music out and about in Glasgow, and have been winning fans wherever they play.
When you first see them itâs as if five people from five different bands have turned up on stage at the same time, but once they start playing thatâs where their magic and fun begins, giving them a more unique and individual sound than most of the other new bands that are kicking about out there at the moment.
Mixing original songs with inspired covers itâs always a fun time when RainTown are around.
Recently playing at the 13th Note, Nice N Sleazyâs and King Tuts, they are next headlining their own night at Broadcast thus coming Friday, 3rd March.
Less than a week to go, Weâre so excited to make our Broadcast debut. As headliners as well itâs a great achievement and pleasure.
Weâve already heard from quite a few of you guys that youâve already secured tickets, Too those that havenât why keep putting it off?
ACT NOW !!! đŤ

Delighted to let you all know that weâll be playing Eurogigâs Glasgow Event held in Stereo on the 8th of February.
For those unfamiliar with Eurogig, this creates the opportunity for artists to go abroad to one of four locations in Europe and play some live events.
This is a big one for us as the way it goes is, the more tickets sold, the best chance of going abroad is.
So if you havenât yet, GET TICKETS đ
