Fearless Vampire Killers

FVK began, as legends do tend to begin, in a small not particularly mind-blowing district of our fair isle. Five whippersnappers of similar age, found each other amidst the inertia of modern living and forged friendships through shared inspirations and aspirations. As the passing of time left them in danger of stagnating, our heroes ventured to the Big Smoke. Life was harsh to begin with, but as with all those of a heroic nature, The Fearless Vampire Killers prevailed, dancing to the Ballet Of The Teeth and telling tales of Grandomina, a world of Wonder, Vice, Love and Lust.

Lime Cordiale

Oliver and Louis Leimbach started playing music together as brothers later in life, when they could stay put in the same room without giving each other dead-arms. Thanks to a nagging mother, they didn’t give up their classical instruments and brought them into the band. Brendan Champion on trombone and James Django Jennings on drums make up the rest of Lime Cordiale. With influences ranging from French pop to parental arguments, from Indian Raga music to midnight snacks, Lime Cordiale is the new Quirk Pop. Read more on Last.fm.
