ECHOBELLY

Britpop stars Echobelly come to Future Yard on Tuesday 19th November, touring the UK this Winter ahead of the release of a brand new album, just recorded with producer Danton Supple (who’s worked with the likes of Coldplay, Morrissey, Dave Gahan and Patti Smith, to name a few).

Standing in contrast with the lad-heavy scene of Brit-pop since their birth over 30 years ago, Echobelly are led by Sonya Madan, a vocalist who was born in India but raised in Britain, and defied many of the lyrical conventions of the scene, but Echobelly’s music — a loud onslaught of guitars inspired equally by the Smiths, glam, and new wave — still fit comfortably within the confines of British 90s indie.

Support on the night comes from alternative indie duo Blue Violet.

Tickets on sale now.

Echobelly kicked off their career in 1993 with their first EP Bellyache. The favourable response including gushing press reviews and sold out gigs ensured the securing of a recording contract with Sony via their subsidiary, Rhythm King.  Their first single from their debut album E.G.O, was Insomniac and the album reached number 8 in the UK Album charts.

By the time they released their second album ON in 1995, they were rising up the ranks of the British music scene, with regular press, TV and radio and two world tours under their belt. The album celebrated the endless possibilities of the human spirit. In Great Things Madan sang “I want to do great things/I don’t want to compromise/I want to know what love is/I want to know everything.” The album’s  optimistic sound and feel provided an intriguing contrast with its witty and acerbic lyrics, many songs are now considered as classics of their era and are still regularly played on radio around the world.
