Summary / biography:
Hailing from East London with a sound to match, London has been whistling along to Whistlejacket throughout 2016 with increasing furvour. The chorus of bass heavy shoegaze, and souring guitar hooks is reaching new heights in anticipation of the band’s second release via the influential London based Independent label, Fierce Panda – expected on 2 september 2016.
Having supported the showbiz likes of DIIV, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Yuck and Bully in London, in addition to becoming mainstays on the beaten up stages of East London’s alternative psych scene – Whistlejacket are preparing to take the show on the road with a two week tour in September across mainland Europe.
Whistlejacket will be taking in Hamburg’s Psych Fest in addition to dates in The Hague, Amsterdam, Groningen, Copenhagen, Leipzig, Saarbrucken, Munich, Nyon and Zwevegem before heading back home for their biggest headline show to date at London’s prestigious The Lexington on the 19th of september.
Admirers of the band include The Horrors' Faris Badwan who described the band as "Hypnotic and immersive", X-Rocks Radio and BBC 6Music, with Whistlejacket getting regular air time & being invited to record an interview for the Steve Lamacq show and play a X-Rocks X-Posure showcase at Camden’s Barfly.
Oh Brother EP is released on the 2nd of september with the self-titled lead single landing on the 19th of august. (March Hare ook op de EP)
