Lyin Rampant originally formed in 1983 when Stewartie teamed up with former Heavy Pettin’ guitarist Eddie Trainer.
They released an album Up and Cumin’ in 1987 on Prism records. Last year the album was re-released by Renaissance Records, USA.
(Further info in interviews with Stewartie 10 & 19 March 2022, links below. Lyin Rampant 2023 are Stewartie, Eddie Trainer, Davey Harkness, Doug Jagger).
“We are currently working in conjunction with Shock City Promotions/Glasgow. We would like to give a huge thank you to them for adding us to these upcoming shows”.
Stewartie explained “Starting in September we are looking forward to working with our old friends Heavy Pettin’ on their 40th anniversary tour. On the 28th we’re at Edinburgh Bannermans and the Classic Grand, Glasgow on 30th”.
“Then we are on the bill at the Winterstorm Rock Fest in Troon in November. The festival runs from 23rd -25th.
We haven’t played there before so we are excited about being on stage with all the other great talent performing this year, including headliners MSG, Graham Bonnet, Uli Jon Roth then there is our old pal Doogie White, to name just a few”.
This past year you’ve had some personal problems, how are you holding up ?
“We are currently working away in the rehearsal studio for these shows. This will be my first time working again with Lyin Rampant after all these years due to the personal commitments so this will be a big challenge for me”.
“I would like to thank my great friend Eddie Trainer (guitar) and the others in the band for all their support and encouragement getting me back into it again.
This should be a lot of fun as Eddie and myself have not been on stage together for about 33yrs … the Lyin will roar once more!”
