British quartet Silent Film will be playing two rather special intimate shows next week, the first is at London’s legendary Borderline venue on June 1st and two days later they will be appearing in their home town of Oxford, returning to the place that it all began for the band at the Cellar Bar on June 3rd. Silent Film will be supported by fellow Oxford band The Jonquils at both gigs.
Silent Film are currently on tour in Portugal where they have been enjoying huge successes over the past year. Their stunning debut album The City That Sleeps (which came out in the UK to critical acclaim in 2008) entered the album charts at Number 3 with the single You Will Never Leave hitting the Number 1 spot in the singles charts.
Likened to Guillemots, Interpol or fellow Oxford home grown heroes Radiohead, the band are sure to put on a spectacle with their incredible live show bringing a sound that rests elegantly between modern contemporary and alternative rock. Singer/songwriter Robert Stevenson performs with an unquestionable passion like a boyish Nick Cave, his harrowing vocals and effervescent stage presence are that of a truly great front man whose talent and grace simply cannot be denied. The band’s line up is completed by guitarist Lewis Jones, bassist Ali Hussain and drummer Spencer Walker.
