Arab Strap

Band, 1995-2006 GB, Falkirk
Rock and Electronic

Arab Strap were a Scottish indie rock band whose core members were Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton. The band were signed to independent record label Chemikal Underground, and split in 2006. As indicated by the title of Belle & Sebastian's third record, The Boy with the Arab Strap, and by Aidan Moffat's involvement in the two Reindeer Section albums, they were a central part of Glasgow's influential late 1990s music scene.
