About Live Like Lions
’I like the sound of this!’ Eddy Temple-Morris, XFM ’Pick of the Week’ NME (Radar) ‘This sound came from no where and indeed blew us away…They have hints of MGMT, Friendly Fires and possibly Delphic...Expect to hear more from these guys!’ Audio Scribbler ’The three lions have an appealing electro pop sound… think more along the lines of MGMT and Vampire Weekend colliding in the middle of Hoxton Square…these guys are interesting and it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on these guys in the future…’ Musicovered +++ London electronic-drenched pop act Live Like Lions are looking to make a roar with debut single ‘Cecile’ out on 8th November via EP Records and are to support Little Comets on their October UK tour Having enjoyed a successful first twelve months writing tunes then touring the UK supporting White Rose Movement, Dansette Junior and Little Comets, promoting their own club nights and playing a number of festivals, London-based electropop trio Live Like Lions are ready to release their debut single ‘Cecile’ via EP Records on the 8th November. As a result of the initial groundswell the band has created, Live Like Lions have recently been asked by Little Comets to support them again on some of their October UK tour dates: Thursday 7th October – Bodega, Nottingham Friday 8th October – Haymakers, Cambridge Saturday 9th October – Sugarmill, Stoke Sunday 10th October – Arts Institute, Cardiff Originally from Devon, Live Like Lions was formed in the summer of 2009 by three childhood friends Ben, Sam and Jay who earned their spurs in bands of various styles in their home region. Various musical experiments followed, and prospered, but all of the building blocks fell satisfyingly into place with an intense, weeklong session in their new North London home studio, which bore the framework for the unique Live Like Lions sound which isn’t one you’d expect from a bunch of Devon boys. Many describe their sound as light, electrified dance pop which could easily sit alongside Friendly Fires and MGMT in equal measure. ’Cecile’ reflects this with its upbeat tempo and euphoric vocal delivery within its captivating synth-driven chorus. Lyrically, the track tells the true story of a friend who is high-level banker stuck behind his office desk holding a secret that only gets revealed at nights: HE actually prefers to be a SHE. The sense of deep desires are a common theme to be heard within Live Like Lions’ music, and, with the direction the band is going, it could be said music lovers will be desiring them very soon, too!
