Hey,
Just a quick one, due to busyness. We’re up for an award for Best Live Act at this years Scottish Alternative Music Awards. Last year we were up for Best Newcomer, but didn’t win… so this year we’d love to win. Except we’ve been put in a category that has some of Scotland’s mightiest band’s in it!
But if you could spare us a vote then that would go a long way to making us feel better about it. You can do so here:
Dinos.
The video for our next single Alligator can be watched on the videos tab of this website. Or go to youtube.com/miniaturedinosaurs – hope you enjoy and please share it about!
We are very happy to announce the Alligator UK Tour to support our next single release on the 19th September! ‘Alligator’ will be our second offering from the ‘Off The Radio’ EP and will be released on Saraseto Records with an accompanying music video already in the pipeline. We are extremely excited to be visiting a lot of new places and a load of old places to promote this single and very much hope you can come along to a show… just to make us smile a little more 
Keep your eyes open and attentive, it’s going to be busy couple of months!

Hey everyone! So, our football boots have now been aired, shirts are in the wash and energy levels replenished (or in the process of being so)…
Saturday was a great success, although the weather unfortunately did take it’s toll on the planned gig at the stadium. Tickets are refundable from point of purchase but we’re desperate to get another local, all ages show booked as soon as possible. Our next over 14s show will be at the fantastic King Tuts venue in Glasgow supporting the brilliant Dotjr. This show will also cost £5 so we can happily swap a MD Cup Final ticket for one of these if you intend on going along. Tickets available from the online shop!
News on our next Stirling show will be fired up on here and the facebook as soon as we sort something special out!
Thankfully the weather did not deter our bands and musical entities from competing for the Miniature Dinosaurs cup! Congratulations to We Were Promised Jetpacks for taking the trophy home, hope we can have them back to defend the title next year! For a great round up of the day’s fesitvites please check out Jim Gellatly’s review (including photos) at Clyde 1.
We also expect to have photos and videos of the day online very soon. Once again thanks to everyone who took part and sincere apologies to those disappointed at the cancellation of the live show.
Finally, can’t wait to play at Oran Mor on Saturday (Doors 6.30pm) as part of the West End Festival in Glasgow!

Delighted to say everybody, that Electric Honey Music are putting out Fight or Flight in the coming months. These guys have released Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol and Belle & Sebastian at the start of their respective careers, and now we can’t wait to get going on this.
The track will be released as a split single on vinyl(!), along with one of their current roster, the excellent Wake the President.
Excited? Just a bit!
