aaamusic | On 19, May 2011
Kasabian front man Tom Meighan signs up unsigned scottish band Modern Faces for pre festival warm up tour support.
Modern Faces are a 5 piece band from Dunfermline, Scotland who take their influences from the 60’s and their attitude & swagger from the 90’s, we’re Inspired by the likes of The Stone Roses, Oasis & The Verve and there aim is to throw some attitude back into British music and produce a few top-drawer, anthemic, stomping albums along the way.
Since forming they have gathered a massive hometown following and proved this by playing to a 900 strong sell-out crowd at Dunfermline’s Velocity in April of 2010, as well as consistently selling out pj mollys very intimate 350 capacity venue.
They released there own EP ‘No Mans Land’ in April of 2010 which attracted the ears of many within the industry and saw the play Liverpool Sound City Festival, This Feeling Club Night London, Death Disco London and Greasy Lips Manchester, supporting the likes of Shed Seven, Starsailor and playing the Primal Scream after show party in Brixton in March 2011.
There new recordings were uploaded to myspace in mid February and they had picked up a management deal within 2 weeks and since then ” its just gone crazy, we’ve been asked back to play Liverpool Sound City Festival for a second year running, we’ve got Festival dates popping up all over the country playing with the likes of Mystery Jets, Beardyman, The Rifles, traveling with our own crew, meetings with lawyers all stuff we hadn’t expected so quickly and then a couple of weeks back Gary and i (Monty) took a call outside Beady Eye and it was Tom Meighan on the phone asking if we’d like to support Kasabian on their pre Festival 2011 warm up tour in Sheffield at the 02 Academy on 4th June and in Manchester at the 02 Apollo on 8th June , we were gob smacked and thought it was a complete wind up but its all real and we’re loving it right now so onwards and upwards”..
