In 1988, McEwans Lager launched a new TV ad campaign featuring 'The Chinheads', a fictional and quirky 'upside-down' rock/soul band.
The award-winning TV advert was directed by Steve Barron (director of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", A-Ha's "Take on Me", and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and featured the track "Something So Real" by Scottish band, The Love Decree.
In 1989, a single was subsequently released and charted nationally, peaking at No.61 (No.1, Outselling Black Box's "Ride on Time" in Scotland).
The Love Decree were: Robin Gow (Keyboards/Song-writer) Grant Macintosh (Vocals/Song-writer) and Gordon Gow (Percussion). The track 'Something So Real" was produced by Robin Gow.
