Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland's Girl Bands

NOW ON THE BBC iPLAYER! See me  & bandmates Gill, Rosie & Gill chat about the adventures we had with our band, The Hedrons!

A feature-length documentary unearthing Scotland’s trailblazing girl bands, from 1960 onwards, that are missing from the ranks of global success. These artists were, and continue to be, ignored by the selective bias of a male-dominated industry. 

Blending personal anecdotes from a host of bands including Jeanette Gallacher from The McKinleys (the first Scottish girl band to break into the charts in 1964, and the first girl band to ever play Wembley Arena), The Ettes, Strawberry Switchblade, The Hedrons, Sophisticated Boom Boom, Sunset Gun, His Latest Flame, The Twinsets, Lung Leg and Hello Skinny. The film takes us on a decade-by-decade adventure, crafting the ultimate visual mixtape. It takes a critical look at the barriers women have faced making music in the past, and still face today. It asks how we can inspire young women to make music, and if those who do so are continuously erased from our cultural history. 

Discover unheard demos, lost archives and rare performances that celebrate the women who never compromised, and subsequently got lost in time.

Written and narrated by award-nominated musician Carla J Easton, this is a powerful, global story told through a local lens.

Since Yesterday - The Untold Story of Scotland's Girl Bands

This incredible documentary was made by singer/song writer, Carla Easton and Film Maker, Blair Young. They have put the spotlight on Scotland's girl bands from the 1960s to 2012 looking for answers as to why these trail blazing women would not stand the test of time the same as their male counterparts, why they all have the same story of getting so far in their careers only to fizzle out to obscurity. My band The Hedrons are featured in the documentary and we are so proud to be there with all the other amazing woman we now count as pals because of this amazing film. 

Coming to a cinema near you from October 18th!

Rating: 15

Ignored by the industry and deprived of the global success afforded to the male-dominated bands of the day, Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands is a celebration of the women and the music of yesteryear, and a rallying cry to the female talent of tomorrow.

Blending personal anecdotes with a scrapbook-style audio-visual aesthetic, Since Yesterday takes us on a decade-by-decade adventure, crafting the ultimate visual mixtape. Discover unheard demos, lost archives, and rare performances that celebrate the Game Changers, Trailblazers, Popstars, Post Punks and Pioneers who never compromised, and subsequently got lost in time.

Featuring: The McKinleys, The Ettes, Strawberry Switchblade, Sophisticated Boom Boom, Twinsets, His Latest Flame, Sunset Gun, Lungleg, Pink Kross, Sally Skull, Hello Skinny and The Hedrons.
