Adventures in Stereo were a band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed by Primal Scream founding member Jim Beattie in 1994, after his previous band, Spirea X, split up.

After Spirea X split up in 1993, former members Jim Beattie and Judith Boyle resurfaced in 1994 with Adventures in Stereo, along with Simon Dine, who had been Spirea X's manager and co-producer. The band initially used music based on sampled loops created by Dine, but later moved to a lo-fi sound more akin to early Primal Scream than their previous band, with a Beach Boys influence, and have been compared to Stereolab and Broadcast. Beattie and Boyle split with Dine after the first few releases, initially with Dine also continuing with the Adventures in Stereo name for his own work, including the Yellow Album, released the same year as Beattie and Boyle's self-titled album, recorded with new collaborators. Beattie and Boyle continued with the name until 2000, with 2 further albums and a few singles. Dine, meanwhile, formed Noonday Underground.

Links to Peel

Although his former band went on to enjoy mainstream success, Primal Scream co-founder Jim Beattie would subsequently appear far more regularly on Peel's show than the makers of "Screamadelica" did, with Adventures In Stereo.

In summer 1998, AIS played at the Meltdown festival curated by the DJ as part of a Creeping Bent label special. Although their set wasn’t broadcast on BBC Radio One, AIS featured frequently on the Peel wingding in the second half of 1990s, recording a session in 1997.

The band were part of a proud lineage of Scottish indie, an important component of Peel’s shows over the decades, with founder Jim Beattie having recorded two sessions as a member of Primal Scream in the 1980s and also played by Peel as part of Spirea X, alongside AIS vocalist Judith Boyle. Early AIS member Simon Dine continued to be heard on the DJ’s shows under the Noonday Underground moniker until 2003.
