The band, currently a four-piece consists of a drummer, James Adam; bassist, Triss Duncan, guitarist, Luke Ballard, and keyboardist, Ed Cox; with three members of the group — Cox, Duncan, and Ballard — singing.

Progression[edit]
After all meeting at school in 2004, the group began performing around Scotland, building up a following. What followed was national radio plays on XFM Scotland (now known as Capital Scotland) and BBC Radio Scotland. Articles about the band have appeared in The List, Edinburgh Festival Magazine,[1] Edinburgh Evening News, The Scotsman[2] and The Skinny.[3] In 2007 and 2008, The Fabulous Hurricanes played a string of shows most notably supporting Neils Children and Bombay Bicycle Club, and they were voted number 4 on the list of 'Scotland's Best Unsigned Bands' by The Scotsman. In 2008, the band were sent a letter by Paul McCartney inviting them to his Liverpool concert after he heard their music, and in 2010 the band performed with Kitty Daisy & Lewis to a sold-out crowd in Edinburgh.
