   About The Picture Show
Click here to download all music via the main site. ....

The Picture Show are one of London's most promising unsigned bands. The release of their first self-financed EP "the Revolutionary" in autumn 2007, alongside a well received music video and a string of thrilling performances across the UK, marked the beginning. Now, with industry interest growing, attention on the band continues to mount. A residency at London’s renowned Water Rats theatre also secured high profile gigs on a regular basis.

The twin strengths of the Picture Show lay in their cathartic live shows and in the darkly romantic folk-indie songbook of frontman Alexei Chityan. A band hailed by some such as XFM as London's answer to Elbow and the band most hotly tipped by the Fly to join gig-buddies the Editors into the hearts and minds of the national indie heartlands, The Picture Show are now newly focused. With a collection of ghostly, timeless melodies as much influenced by Russian folk as by the Cure and Radiohead, they are fast emerging to reclaim their rightful place at the head of the indie pack.
