John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

John Peel Wiki

The Aphrodisiacs were a Scottish three piece band from Motherwell that mixed electronic beats with unusual keyboard sounds, guitar, bass and drums. The group were formed in 2002 by Stephen McFall (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Kevin Carlin (drums and bass) and John Cairns (guitar and bass). The band at the beginning played mainly around Scotland, before expanding to other areas of the UK. The group only made two albums, before splitting sometime in the late 2000's.

The band sent demo tapes to John Peel and several record labels. Peel heard the demo and the band got their material played on his show, which attracted the attention of SL Records, who also had the same demo from the band, when one of the co-founders of the label heard their track on Peel's show. After hearing the track, the band were invited for two sessions for Peel's show and were also signed to SL Records.
