Modern Sky UK, the label behind The Blinders / Catholic Action / Slow Readers Club and more, are thrilled to present the latest signing to emerge from their bustling stable: RED RUM CLUB.
Propagators of rousing rock’n’roll that oozes with a low-slung outlaw attitude, Red Rum Club are a striking sextet from Liverpool.
Initially forming in 2016, the six-piece have been biding their time, pedantically collecting melody by melody, lyric by lyric, the songs of their now formidable live set. With a strong sense of camaraderie and a remarkable DIY work ethic, Red Rum Club have toured the UK extensively, learning the ropes of booking, managing, recording, and of course performing duties entirely independently as they slowly edge towards their dreams of releasing their debut album. 100% Grassroots, authentic and with a sound and vision defined completely on their terms, Red Rum Club are completely the real deal, and needless to say adoring fans haven’t be hard to come-by. With their frenetic live shows and now-notorious guerrilla gigs in the North-West quickly becoming the stuff of local legend (just check out the band’s roof-top performance of ‘Calexico’ and ‘Angeline’ for Signature Live), RRC have already amassed a loyal fan-base in their native Liverpool and across the wider nation.
Winning over countless fans this year with tent-tipping sets at Y-Not, Truck Fest, Sound City and Isle Of Wight Festivals, RRC’s jubilant summer was capped-off with their winning of the prestigious Pirate Prodigies UK industry prize for ‘Best Emerging Band’. A benchmark year indeed, it seems the time is surely now for Red Rum Club to open-up their doors to the wider world too.
In 2018, Red Rum Club will be embarking on a string of UK shows throughout September, October and November including a richly deserved headline slot at the capacious 02 Academy in Liverpool on Saturday 29th September.
Fans will have plenty more to sink their teeth into over the coming weeks too – stay tuned for further updates from Red Rum Club…
