Biography

"You and I should go dancing..."

The Low Lights - Rich, Matt, Ben and Nat - quite literally make you want to slap your momma. And their mommas.

Read full biography ↓

As High School friends, Lead Singer, Nat, and Drummer, Rich, recruited Matt on Lead Guitar and Ben on Bass, and with an average age of just 19, Britain's biggest band in waiting command your attention:

When it comes to growing a band, The Low Lights are as organic as you get. Their story starts with being skint. Just like a floozy they honed their craft on the city streets, busking to the masses in the centre of Cardiff, quickly building up enough pennies to record their first demo and gain more than a few fans along the way.

After more changes than Michael Jackson's face, the members of the band as we know them today have been working solidly on the music to deliver the classic 5 track EP from the infamous Screamadelica Studios, which you can listen to right here on this very MySpace.

Despite two of them currently doing their A-Levels and the other two finishing off other exam type things, they’ve already supported New York's 5 O’Clock Heroes, Sweden's Lorraine and the Libertine's John Hassel's band, Yeti. This all led up to their own recent headline gig in Barfly to a capacity crowd to riotous response, cementing their position as THE band to watch in 2007/8 and a number of appearances at some of the UK's biggest events await!

(They had to TURN DOWN playing at Glastonbury 2007 because it clashed with their exams!!!)

With infectious riffs and lyrics that drill right through to your bosom, their strong, accomplished musicianship sees them shifting between musical styles with the confidence of superstars. Ballsy and emotional, pulsing with vibrancy and tenacity, The Low Lights' style is the kind of music that slaps you about the head in a kinky pleasurable kinda way whilst making your entire body scream out for more.

Unpolished, raw, edgy... their influences stretch way beyond their years. You can describe their sound as many things but one things for sure, they've unashamedly taken siege of their hometown and now they're ready to assault the rest of the UK.

Currently working on their debut album, The Low Lights will be appearing at a venue near you soon!

They wanna see you funk. Perverse little buggers...
