BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB IN CONCERT:
British indie rockers Bombay Bicycle Club had no idea they were going to last when they named themselves after an Indian restaurant chain in 2005. Nine years later, the band released their fourth studio album, 2014's So Long, See You Tomorrow — a merciful end to the three-year waiting period their fans have had to endure since 2011's A Different Kind of Fix. Following a home turf British tour in early 2014, the band will treat North American fans to their intricately layered live show, including a highly anticipated appearance at Coachella.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Fronted by Jack Steadman on vocals, the members of Bombay Bicycle Club began playing music together at age 15, enjoying several incarnations before eventually naming themselves Bombay Bicycle Club. The band scored an upset in 2006, beating out hometown favorites The Holloways to win Virgin Mobile's "Road to V" battle of the band's competition, earning two victory sets at the high-profile V Festival. The band's 2009 debut LP I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose was a hit in the UK, scoring them NME's Best New Band award in 2010 —an honor for which they beat out Mumford & Sons. With follow-ups Flaws (2010) and A Different Kind of Fix (2011), Bombay Bicycle Club cemented their place as one of Britain's brightest young talents.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"I was so impressed by BBC! They sounded perfect live. Just like the album. They put on such a great show and gave it their all."
"This band played perfectly and were obviously having fun while performing. Great energy and sound."
"They came ready to rock - and definitely amused both newcomers and seasoned fans alike. Their setlist was stacked with old favorites as well as two new songs and the mix kept the show moving along with a steady rhythm."
Despite extreme tiredness I made it to this late show in B-burg, and I did not regret it: Opener 1,2,3 delivered solid entertainment, and headliners Bombay Bicycle Club were surprisingly high energy and fun. There are a bunch of cool drawings from this show on musikati
didn't expect such a great show... i thought it was gonna be a bit boring but they rocked big time!!! i'm in love with them, would definitely go see them again
A real treat to see this up and coming British band here in NY. They've been around for a few years now, but this was their first trip to the USA and worth waiting for. Probably due to the fact that they were still in high school until a couple of years ago! They played songs from their first album "I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose" and really impressed with their delivery and stage presence. A very mature performance, but full of energy and all great songs. These guys are going places. Would see them a gain in a heartbeat.
Bombay Bicycle Club has much talent, great lyrics, and humble spirit.. their live sound is strong, makes you move, feel, smile, with hints of reminiscent sadness at times. Lots of talent and authenticity. We will definitely see them when they come around again! Hopefully soon*****
This show was so much better than i would have expected. The venue was small but the sound in there was amazing. The opener Jonquil were great. Bombay...I dont even know what to say. They sounded just as good live as they do recorded. They played all my favorites...It was a great show...I cant wait to see them again...
Great show, great venue! Bombay Bicycle Club sounded great live!
