The Old Romantic Killer Band
Formed early 2008, the Leeds based Blues Rock duo ‘The Old Romantic Killer Band’ release 4 brand new killer tracks and play a variety of top gigs around the country.
The duo, made up of Harry (vox and guitar) and Greg (drums), have gone from strength to strength in their short time of the band and have made a massive impact on the music scene with their live shows having a reputation for being chaotic and usually end in impromptu jams and equipment smashing.
With a forever growing audience, constant touring up and down the UK playing everywhere from private launch parties, the famous music scene around Camden and Shorditch and playing this years legendary Leeds and Reading festivals on the BBC introducing stages and not too mention being asked by SUPERGRASS front man Gaz Coombes to support them on tour with their new experimental band THE HOT RATS.
Their 3rd ever gig was playing to a packed audience at the 2008 showcase ‘In The City’ and since joining the CODA AGENCY early 2009 they have supported and toured with the likes of The Sunshine Underground and Dinosaur Pile-Up as well as having completed two UK headline tours.
After releasing their 2009 debut album 'The Swan With Two Necks’ featuring the single 'Lovers Pass' to critical acclaim they have received ‘record of the week’ in Clash Magazine, 7/10 from NME plus a full page feature in The Guardian and have also had music featured in BBC3's show 'Massive' starring Ralf Little.
They have had great support from BBC Radio one’s Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacque who have both played tracks on their shows as well as being played on the new BBC Radio 6 show hosted by Supergrasses very own Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey.
The Old Romantic Killer band is definitely a band not to be missed.
