   About A Genuine Freakshow

a.genuine.freakshow

A Genuine Freakshow are a 7-piece pop-infused post-rock cannonade with mass appeal. Songs born of their broad range of influences from Elbow and Radiohead to Mogwai and Explosions In The Sky are accompanied by lush orchestral arrangements and the sincere falsetto vocals of Timothy Sutcliffe. This gives the music they create a blend of classic pop with unpredictable structures and epic climaxes reminiscent of Arcade Fire, Mew, and Sigur Ros.

In 2008 the two singles ‘We Are The Undercurrents’ and ‘Holding Hearts’ attracted the attention of local and national radio, earning the band multiple airplays and appearances on BBC Berkshire, Oxford, and Bristol. BBC 6 Music DJ Tom Robinson invited the band to be guests on his Introducing show, and included Holding Hearts in his “Best of 2008” broadcast; March 2009 marked the band’s BBC Radio 2 debut on Steve Lamacq’s show.

After a trip to Holland in March 2009 to support Marillion and film a live DVD with an audience of 3000, A Genuine Freakshow have entered the studio for the duration of summer 2009 to record a full-length album. The debut album ‘Oftentimes’ – including a host of audio and video bonus material available with a deluxe pre-order edition available soon – is planned for release in Autumn 2009 followed by a UK and European tour extending into early 2010.

Hey, been listening to the free CD quite a lot, and it really is awesome. Very into it.

I was talking to Tim and Marianne at the Cats and Cats and Cats gig last week, I think I sort of mentioned this but I'll reiterate; if you ever have any support slots or anything that you can't think of anyone else to fill, we'd love to play with you some time.

Anyway, take care, and keep doing good things
