HL Music - Kill It Kid Album Launch and ticket competition

HL Music - Kill It Kid Album Launch - 20th September X0Y0, London

HL Music is back this September 20th with an album launch and headline
show from up and coming UK band Kill It Kid. Signed just 12 weeks from
inception following a John Parish (PJ Harvey) produced EP; Kill It Kid hit Ryan
Hadlock’s (The Gossip, Johnny Flynn) Seattle studio to lay down their début
album - later critically appraised across the board (“An Outstanding British
Record 9/10” Clash Magazine. XFM New Music Award finalists, alongside
The XX &Florence).

Life on the road, coupled with a misguided ‘nu-folk’ tag, pushed the band
towards a new, dirtier, blues inspired sound. Recent single ‘Pray On Me’
proved grittier than anything prior, marrying a punishing riff a la Black Keys
to Turpin’s anguished howl - and the band promise the forthcoming album
- recorded with producer Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Brett Anderson) - to
be ‘raw, inelegant and untainted.

The band is set to hit the road at the beginning of September for their UK tour
with London being their penultimate show. Playing host to the event HL Music
will be inviting guests to see Kill it Kid as well as the support acts Circus Town
and John J Presley. A limited number of tickets will be on sale to the general
public and Henri Lloyd/HL Jeans Co will also be giving a few tickets away
through their Facebook page.

HL Music in Association with PRS for Music - Fenech-Soler - Hoxton Bar and Kitchen London

As highlighted by MusicMafiaUK last week HL Music hosted their first event in London and we are delighted to bring you some of the highlights and footage from the event itself featuring Fenech - Soler

First HL Music event goes off with a bang!

HL Music in association with PRS for Music – Hoxton Bar & Kitchen – January 25th



There was an air of excitement all around Hoxton Bar & Kitchen last Tuesday night as Electro/Dance/Indie/Pop band Fenech-Soler were about to headline the 1st HL Music event in association with PRS for Music.
Fenech-Soler have been getting rave reviews recently and have been championed by Radio 1 DJ Greg James who came down with Martin from The Hoosiers to have a look at the event and check out the band live for the 1st time.
The guest list was full of top names from the music and fashion industry and they came down to support this new event, which has been designed to showcase the best talent in music.
Manchester band 1913 opened up the proceedings with a powerful, anthemic set which was packed full of hook laden songs and emotion. Ian Lawtons vocals resonated throughout the venue as they stormed through their 5 songs, ending with their 1st single ‘Atlantis’
DJ and stand up comedian Jeff Leach then stepped up to spin the wheels of steel to keep the crowd in tip top shape and get them set for headliners FenechSoler

The venue was now full to capacity as Fenech-Soler took to the stage. From the opening song ‘Battlefields’ it was soon clear to see why these guys had caught the attention of the music industry. Frontman Ben Duffy whipped the crowd into frenzy as each song was delivered with such ease and professionalism. Ending on the catchy and powerful ‘Stop and Stare’ 8 songs just wasn’t enough… we were all certainly left wanting more. These guys are destined for big things and I’m sure we will be hearing a lot more from them in 2011!
