The Dandelion Killers formed on a rainy Wednesday evening in the autumn of 2004, when there was nothing to watch on television. The collaboration of the three musicians from Herefordshire proved to produce a great chemistry and made for one of the most energetic, powerful and exiting bands around. Armed with a huge and ever growing repertoire of catchy original material, the band’s constant gigging has led to them being referred to as ‘Veterans of the local circuit’ and local shows never fail to pull in large audiences of dedicated, loyal and enthusiastic fans. But their following extends much further than the edges of their home county. Last year saw the trio playing nationwide in various, renowned venues in London (The Boarderline and The Marquee Club), Bristol (The Louisianna and The Fleece), Cardiff (Buffalo Bar and Zync), Oxford (Jericho Tarvern) and Liverpool (Zanzibar), as well playing mini tours throughout North Wales and the Midlands. They’ve played with many respected and signed acts like Neil’s Children, Fortune Drive, Dartz, The Anomalies, The Mules and Attic Lights. Recently playlisted on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 music, the band have done several live sessions, have regular airplay and interviews on BBC Hereford & Worcester, as well as other local and internet stations. The Dandelion Killers have also had multiple appearances and praise in NME and other music publications. Currently recording at the legendary Rockfield Studios, (home of Queen, Black Sabbath, Supergrass, Motorhead, Oasis, Coldplay). The band are currently playing venues all around the uk, unleashing their own blend of stonking riffs, choruses so catchy they have to be surgically removed and one of the loudest and most energetic performances you'll ever see from a live band!
