Dundee fourpiece The View take their name from their local pub, the Bayview Bar, a venue they used for rehearsals before they got banned (because they drove a scooter across the bar!) They'd only played two gigs when a local indie label signed them up and soon they were touring the UK supporting the likes of Babyshambles and Primal Scream. After seeing them play Bobby Gillespie was quick to inform anyone who'd listen that The View were his favourite new band.

The band have been touring non-stop in 2006, their anthemic songs and exhilarating live act has been winning friends where ever they go. Some critics have even suggested the Arctic Monkeys might not be the most exciting new band of 2006 after all.

The View are playing Electric Proms as part of a Radio 1 night hosted by Zane Lowe.
