The View (Dryburgh, Scotland) have been active in the music scene since early 2005, supporting more renowned acts including Babyshambles, Primal Scream and The Undertones. The band initially based themselves at The Bayview pub in the Menzieshill district of Dundee, not too far from their native Dryburgh. From this pub, the band took their name. Shortly after they moved to The Doghouse, a respected music venue in Dundee’s city centre, where they came to the attention of local music promoters, management and ever-growing fan-base. Currently signed to 1965 Records, the band’s debut single, “Wasted Little DJs”, was released 7 August 2006. The single entered the UK MTV/NME video charts on 9 July 2006 and climbed to top this chart the same day it reached 15 in the UK singles chart on 13 August 2006. They have recently released their first album, titled ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’, which entered the UK album chart at #1 and is so far the biggest selling album of 2007.
The View (Sydney, Australia) formed in March 2005. Now known as Planet of the Stereos, the band is a ubiquitous presence amongst Australia’s east-coast indie scene, building a cult following with strong support from Australian nationwide commercial radio and television networks.

Just saw they have this "Seven Year Set List" release for June featuring a collection of tracks from the past 7 years.... seems like yesterday when "hats off to the buskers" came out to me. If you pre-order on their website they'll include your name in the booklet.
