简介：RM Hubbert (Robert McArthur Hubbert, born 12 May 1974 in Glasgow, Scotland), commonly known as Hubby, is a Scottish guitarist and singer. Best known for his solo work as RM Hubbert and as a member of Scottish post rock band El Hombre Trajeado, he has been an active member of the Glaswegian DIY music scene since 1991. \nHis first band was formed in 1991 under the name Me, Hubby & Thom. The bands drummer, Thom Falls, also played drums for Glasgow band The Blisters, notable as the first band of future Franz Ferdinand guitarist and singer Alex Kapranos . Kapranos and Hubbert became friends whilst running The Kazoo Club at The 13th Note in Glasgow after the original promoter quit. Hubbert later joined The Blisters on second guitar. He then joined Glaswegian hardcore band Glue in 1992 until the group split in 1995. \nEl Hombre Trajeado formed in 1995 with Stevie Jones, Ben Jones and Stef Sinclair, El Hombre Trajeado released three albums; Skipafone (Guided Missile Recordings, GUIDE33CD, 1998), Saccade (Human Condition Records, HCCD0031, 2001) and Shlap (Lost Dog Recordings, ARFF004, 2004) before disbanding in 2005. Although the band rarely toured, they supported artists such as Nick Cave , Sebadoh , Tortoise , Mike Watt and The Delgados around the UK. They recorded three radio sessions for John Peel on BBC Radio One between 1998 and 2001. \nOriginally planned as a distraction to take his mind off of the death of his parents, the nine solo guitar pieces that make up his debut album First & Last are based on flamenco structures and techniques, albeit with a modern approach to melody. Hubbert self released First & Last as a limited edition hand bound book with CD on the DIY label Ubisano in 2009. The release garnered good reviews, leading to the long running, influential Scottish record label Chemikal Underground signing him in late 2010. Chemikal Underground reissued First & Last on 12" vinyl and CD in early 2011.\nHubberts second album for Chemikal Underground , Thirteen Lost & Found, is predominately made up of collaborations with other Scottish musicians such as Aidan Moffat , Emma Pollock and Alasdair Roberts (musician) . The album was conceived as a way of reconnecting with old friends whilst getting to know newer ones better. This album also saw Hubbert work again with Alex Kapranos , who acted as producer.\nA prolific live performer, Hubbert has toured extensively around the UK and mainland Europe both on his own and in support slots for the likes of Mogwai , Godspeed You! Black Emperor , The Twilight Sad , Franz Ferdinand , Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat , King Creosote , Emma Pollock and Thee Silver Mt Zion . \nThirteen Lost & Found won the Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2013 beating albums by Emeli Sande , Calvin Harris , Django Django , The Twilight Sad amongst others and picking up the £20,000 prize.
