My Legendary Girlfriend

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Named after a song by the English band Pulp, My Legendary Girlfriend were an indie band from Glasgow, Scotland, who played live and recorded music between 1997 and 2005.

Although most of their live shows were in central Scotland (where they eventually developed a minor cult following), they did make it as far as London in 2002. They shared bills with Dogs Die in Hot Cars, both before and after the latter were signed to V2 Records. Arguably, My Legendary Girlfriend's live high point was playing to 800 people while opening for The Fall in 2004.

They released two 7-inch EPs on the London-based Short Fuse Records, before forming their own label, on which they eventually released four albums, You Can't Hear Me Anyway (2002), Gross Domestic Product (2003), GDP:RMX (2003) and The Wrong End Of A Telescope (2004). Relocation and other commitments caused the band to go their separate ways at the end of that year, reuniting for one final show in Glasgow in October 2005. Support at this gig came from The Owsley Sunshine, The Plimptons and Ives.
