Kings of Lyon are widely known as the best; the most accurate and vibrant tribute to the Kings of Leon...
"Spot on - Five Stars" - Q Magazine 2010 "The Kings of Lyon are the number 1 tribute to the Kings" - Stage 2009 "Four extremely talented musicians playing the best from 'Youth and Young Manhood' to 'Only By The Night' as only the Kings themselves could" - Belfast Empire 2009 Kings of Lyon exploded onto the scene at the beginning of 2009 and have been propelled to the top of the tribute ladder with panache and a youthful vibrancy that secured them an O2 Academy headline tour, a European Spring tour, a string of festival dates throughout Europe and the UK and sell-out shows in the country's foremost music venues from Ireland to the Channel Islands along with high accolade in Q Magazine and a massive UK following. Kings of Lyon play the perfect KOL show. They have an astounding live set incorporating all of the fans' favourites from 'Youth and young Manhood' to KOL's latest chart success, 'Come Around Sundown'. 2010 has seen the band rise from a fine tribute with a hugely well respected emerging reputation to become the most sought after tribute of the year; stunningly faithful in every aspect from an inseparable appearance to their gut wrenching, soaring stadium sound. Formed after a two year search for talented musicians who also share a mutual love of New York's finest The Strokes, lead singer 'John Julian V' was the final piece of the jigsaw whose voice box seems to have been ripped from Julian Casablancas and still continues to impress his band mates with his overall likeness to the indie legend. After completing a tour of the north of the country 'Different Strokes' have attracted an impressive following. Entertaining capacity crowds at venues including York's Fibbers, Stockton's Ku Bar and Middlesbrough's Empire the band are now taking bookings and are planning to tour the rest of the country in 2012. If these fellas were any closer to The Strokes, they'd be in New York City! Turismo are Hull's most famous undiscovered scenesters... fired up punk and ska with a retro flavour. |
