Idle Wild


Scottish purveyors of indie-rock. Have been compared with REM?. Lead singer goes by the entertaining name of Roddy Womble (I think).

Albums:

In Justina Robson's book Natural History there is a space installation named Idlewild. There is also an entity known as 'the blessed Tupac'.

Probably a reference to Idlewild airport (now JFK), rather than the Scottish indie-rockers of repute. I believe 'Idlewild' is also the title of a mainstream alternate-history novel based on a 'what if JFK hadn't been shot' hypthosis, which is presumably where the said Scottish indie-rockers got the title.
