Futuristic Retro Champions were a Scottish indie band from Edinburgh and Glasgow from 2006-2011.
Futuristic Retro Champions played their debut public gig at Edinburgh's Wee Red Bar in 2006, having met as students at Edinburgh College of Art.[1]
On 21 October 2010, the band announced on Facebook and Twitter the December launch (at shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh) of a "Retrospective" album featuring all songs recorded to date; and also that they would "... not be continuing into 2011." Then on 20 November, another announcement said bassist Ceal had suffered a shattered elbow, and the farewell/album party gigs would have to be postponed until 2011.
Their 26-track, 2-CD debut/retrospective album 'Love And Lemonade' was released in April 2011.[2][3]
Interviewed in the Jez Curnow movie The Art School Dance,[4] Carla Easton revealed that she and her brother were in a school contest to coin "the best band name", and Futuristic Retro Champions is what they arrived at. Easton decided that if ever she were in a band, that would be its name.

Futuristic Dragon is the eleventh studio album by English rock band T. Rex, released worldwide on 30 January 1976 by EMI Records bar North America. The album was preceded by two successful singles that went into the UK chart, "New York City" and "Dreamy Lady". The album saw Marc Bolan continuing to experiment, blending rock with soul music and disco elements on certain tracks. Derided by critics upon release, the album has since been reappraised by major British and US music media.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
