Lowlife

Lowlife is a Scottish band that emerged from the remnants of a Psychobilly group called Dead Neighbours. Originally consisting of Craig Lorentson (Vocals), David Steel (Bass), Ronnie Buchanan (Guitar), and Grant McDowall (Drums), the band underwent several lineup changes over the years. After their first mini LP, David Steel departed and was replaced by Will Heggie, who had recently left Cocteau Twins. With Heggie on board, Dead Neighbours recorded their album "Strangedays Strangeways." Eventually, Ronnie Buchanan left and Stuart Everest took his place, prompting a change in both musical direction and band name.

Thus, Lowlife was born, taking inspiration from a Public Image Limited song. Despite these shifts in personnel and style, Lowlife maintained their distinctive sound characterized by atmospheric post-punk and ethereal melodies. Tragically, Craig Lorentson passed away on June 4th, 2010.
