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.

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.
