The Shimmer Band
Magical and Mystical, the Musical.
2017 : Tipped by all in the know for magnitude, a chance to catch Bristol phenomenom in smaller venues for now.
BBC Radio 1 playlist with ‘Jacknife And The Death Call’ (Komplex Recordings), support dates with Cabbage, and Jesus And Mary Chain, then The Shimmer Band in ascent and on the road with some amazing special guests in support of their (mostly sold out) headline tour. Wild scenes. Summer single 'What Is Mine?' acclaimed a festival anthem of the year before the band's tour of the UK fests had even begun. They headline the UK's No.1 live music club, This Feeling, in October's - the club's biggest venues tour to date. A debut album is in the wings.
“a powerful live sound,
the sort of thing that threatens to burst from the small venues they're starting off in” - Clash Magazine
“A band to watch and follow,
with the potential and sound to fill venues bigger than this in the future.“ - Little Indie Blogs
“ a band who will one day headline all the biggest festival stages.” - GigSlutz
"Without a doubt this band is going to be absolutely huge. They are an explosive, addictive mix of rock ‘n’ roll and psychedelia." - Northern Exposure
"What Oasis would have sounded like if Richard Ashcroft was at the mic. Seriously, that good." - Fred Perry Subculture
"Aligning massive stadium conquering hooks with a sound that is uncompromising and resolutely of their own devising" (Tenement TV)
"The point of The Shimmer Band is to try and add a little euphoria and make people stop thinking about all the shit that’s going on, for a little while." (TheZineUK)
