Another Pretty Face were a power-pop band from Edinburgh, Scotland. Formed in 1976, the band consisted of Mike Scott (guitar, vocals), John Caldwell (guitar), Jim Geddes (bass), and "Crigg" (drums).
The band released a small batch of singles, and one album - I'm Sorry That I Beat You I'm Sorry That I Screamed But For A Moment There I Really Lost Control - available only on cassette.[1]
Another Pretty Face eventually changed its name and some of its personnel, before Scott left the band and went on to form the Waterboys.[2]
Links to Peel[]
Peel played tracks from the band in the late 70's and early 80's, but by the time Scott left to band to form the Waterboys, he lost interest in them as well as the Waterboys.
