Wild Beasts

pop

The four boys of Wild Beasts aren't concerned with being of the modern, or being of the renaissance, being baggy pantsed or being tight pantsed, being in a scene or being in a place. Wild Beasts' music, being what it is, just is.

Formed of Hayden Thorpe on sometimes falsetto vocals and guitar, Ben Little on guitar, Tom Fleming on bass guitar and Chris Talbot on drums, Wild Beasts are a band like no other. Originally hailing from Kendal, Cumbria and now based in Leeds, the band have released two singles on independent Leeds based label Bad Sneakers, before signing to Domino.

Am well impressed with this band.

I recall making a comment last night that I'd like to see the singer in a solo acoustic setting - and was informed that he does play such gigs, so any ideas where/when and I'll pop down.
