WARREN JAMES - TALES FROM FILM CITY WARREN JAMES

Warren James are James Kirk (Orange Juice) & Warren McIntyre (Starry Skies), joined for live outings by Hal on bass and Michael (V-Twin/1990s) on drums.

James Kirk is a founding member of Glaswegian indie legends Orange Juice with his jangly, melodic guitar riffs (he also wrote their jangletastic song Felicity). A few months ago his old bandmate Edwyn Collins asked him, alongside original Orange Juice drummer Steven Daly, to join him for a sorta OJ reunion on his farewell shows in Glasgow and London.

Warren McIntyre is the singer in the 7-piece Starry Skies. He has performed live across Europe - including at Paris's famous 'Caveau de la Huchette' and the Prague Opera Hall - and in New York's East Village. Starry Skies melody driven songs have found an audience on over 100 radio shows worldwide - including New York's WFMU.

James and Warren recently joined forces after being asked to play the opening of the exhibition 'Christmas Day Down A Goldmine: A New Seam' by artist Willie Sutherland and then at Glas-Goes Pop, in 2022. They have become a prolific songwriting duo since then and their first single, limited edition double AA side Miss Green Tea / Costa del Culzean, was featured on both Scottish Radio and 6Music.

'Tales From Film City' was mostly recorded in the songwriting / recording studio they have established in Glasgow's Film City in Govan - the same place where Franz Ferdinand recorded their debut. The album also features input from Gerard Love (ex-Teenage Fanclub) and Chris Geddes (Belle & Sebastian), amongst others.
