THE SHIMMER BAND
Following on from the anthemic BBC6Music favourite ‘FREEDOM’, Bristol- based newcomers, THE SHIMMER BAND return with their third single ‘SUNKICK’ out on Komplex Recordings August 12th.
A powerful live favourite and irresistibly euphoric from the very first listen, the pounding, muscular and hugely melodic ‘SUNKICK’ (written by the band and produced by David Francolini) builds to a mesmerising and ecstatic finale of spaced-out electric guitars, heavenly strings, hypnotic pianos and gorgeous gospel choir vocals courtesy of The Renewal Choir from Bristol, and further cements the band’s growing reputation.
Having already played storming sets this year at The Great Escape and Isle of Wight Festivals, with The Stereophonics and The Vaccines at Cardiff City Football Stadium, and with huge performances at the Reading and Leeds Festival on the horizon later this month, The Shimmer Band embark on a massive UK tour this autumn.
