Name and formation
• It’s a deliberate spelling mistake, there is a star in Orion’s Belt called Alnitak.
The guys decided to flip the ni round to make in – which is easier to say - Altinak
• Band formed in 2013 at Linlithgow Young People’s Project (LYPP).
• First band incarnation was called Long Way Home and they played a series of local gigs one of which was attended by at least 10 people!
Basic Statement
• 4 piece indie rockers from Linlithgow, Scotland
• A hectic 2017 has so far seen an array of festival appearances and high profile supporting slots across Scotland.
• Their first EP, Long Way Home was released to critical acclaim in 2016 and the follow up single Kick Off built on this with multiple radio plays cementing their reputation as 'one to watch'.
• The band have a number of high profile live shows coming up, none more so than BBC Introducing at King Tuts, Glasgow, on 1st September.
• They write and perform their own material
o Australia
Lyrics are by Mary and are her thoughts on her brother heading for a gap year down under.
o Kick Off
Written for and dedicated to their friends it combines tales of several teenage parties.
Yes one of them did lose their keys but it all worked out OK in the end (keys were in another jacket ).
