Biography
Midnight Boatman is the bastard offspring of Neil McKeown and Tom Osman. Having previously played together in local Glasgow band RedSun, this latest collaberation has been slowly but persistently germinating in shady corners of London and Oxford since mid 2008. Musically Midnight Boatman draws from a wide stream of influences which have been reaching their tentacles into the psyches of its members throughout their lives. Some of the most persistent and enduring psychological infections have occured through repeated contact with Nick Cave, Massive Attack, Neil Young, Swans, Sonic Youth and Spearhead. Undertaking the majority of recording duties between the two main members, another ex-RedSun co-conspiritant Mark McKellen has lent his talents to add aditional purcussion. While Verity has been pulled into the vortex to contribute sweet, etherial vocals to this psychedelic, gothic folk-rock creation.
