Singer songwriter Louise Quinn and drummer/producer Bal Cooke met whilst dressed as aliens working for a street theatre company in Glasgow. Both had a love of intergalactic electronic sounds and flopping around to indie music; thus A Band Called Quinn was born. Add to that Robert Henderson; a trumpet player wired to the moon and a glam rock obsessed bass player from The Highlands Steve Westwater. It wasn't long before the spaced out combo starting getting attention for their Incredible songs. MADONNA started taking notice (“Louis Quinn has a wonderful voice”) and Parisian superstar DJ Kid loco flew Louise over to Paris to sing on his album and braved the permanent rain of Glasgow to produce an album called Luss for the band. A track from Luss went to number 8 in the Serbian Diskomer charts and the band were invited to tour Serbia and asked to keep a diary for Radio 4's Home Truths programme. This year has seen ABCQ support The B-52s; play an aftershow party for Blondie and Louise singing on the ace new Kid Loco album. February 2009 sees the release of a new single The Glimmer Song and album Sun Moon featuring the production skills of Kid Loco and guitar skills of Echo and the Bunneymen's Gordy Goudie.
