Band Biography

My band will be aged 19-23 and will all be male. The band consist of just 4 members, a bass player, a drum player, a keyboard player and the lead guitarist also being the vocalist. They formed in mid 2009, after all meeting at their university in the outskirts of London. They began as most bands do, just at the very small venues, all local with free entrance. They then began to start to play slightly bigger venues, still fairly small, however they now were beginning to play at venues which required entrance fees. They began to be known within the music industry around the area for their tracks, with people describing them as 'bombay bicycle club, with a twist'.

As soon as they started to be more and more well known, they had a little interest with a record company. The company simply offered to just pay for there travel to various venues around the south of England, with people believing that they were just seeing if the boys from the outskirts of London could possibly be a hit outside of their own city. As it turned out, they were a big success nearly everywhere they went. They then were offered a record contract with Fiction Records. With people such as White Lies, Snow Patrol, The Maccabees, Filthy Dukes, Ian Brown and Crystal Castles already on this record contract they decided to absolutely jump at the chance and signed the deal just 2 weeks after they returned to London. Their dress sense is definately taking inspirations from people such as Yannis Philippakis, Orlando Weeks by following the 'indie/alternative' style of clothing.

They lead the lives of most young people, they enjoy going to partys with their friends, staying in around one of the other band member's house with a few cans. Whilst together they always like trying to write new music, & they also like listening to new music that they've heard. Their genre of music is 'indie/alternative' with the lead singer, having a distinct voice. They have now all left university with all the hype that surrounds them as a band, and are releasing their debut album in early October and going on tour as the support act for the band Arctic Monkeys.
