The Lamplight Club + The Wicked Ravens

The Lamplight Club are a powerful six piece act from Essex, UK. Their music is rooted in folk blues, country and Americana with strong elements of 60s garage, electronica and dark alternative rock running throughout. The Lamplight sound centres around powerful vocals with multilayered harmonies, poetic lyrics, strong hooks and heavy grooves. A band with multiple songwriters: Lamplight have been likened by their audience to diverse acts including Nick Cave, The Doors, Radiohead, The Dead Weather and Calexico. The "Wall of Sound" vocal harmonies are frequently compared to The Fleet Foxes and Fleetwood Mac. The Lamplight Club are now an established and popular live act within the region and have been very active during the last year, playing many shows (including a support billing with 80's legends, Big Country), appearing on Actual Radio, CCR and CKUA Canada, festival appearances and charity events. The band will be booking dates further afield and look to increase their range and reach during 2020 and beyond. In 2019 The Lamplight Club released their debut EP. The Boathouse Sessions. The band is also developing a further stream of self-recorded/mixed material under the banner of 'The Pioneer Project', with the first release scheduled in January 2020.

The Wicked Ravens, rock in roll, dirty marsh music, psych folk rock a bit roots with a touch of essex country blues. sometimes foot stomping, sometimes melancholy. We live in a small fishing village in North East Essex. We've lived here and there, all been in or are still in various bands over the years namely Colchester's own Hobo Chang and Surfquake. We've toured, played festivals and gigged with some major artists, had radio play internationally and ongoing support from BBC Essex Intro, BBC Suffolk Intro and have just secured a music publishing deal for our debut album. Oh and Dr John Cooper Clarke is a fan...
