Here Comes the Landed Gentry | tl

Having formed in the late 07/early08 with ex members of Red Organ Serpent Sound, Fighting With Wire and The Subtitles. The formidable HCTLG are hell bent on 2 things, writing great songs and playing great shows! The Recording or their first critically acclaimed 7 song live demonstration resulted in national radio play and big support slots with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Urban Voodoo Machine, Black Diamond Heavies and The Jim Jones Revue. The band go on to win the Roaring Meg all Ireland Busking Festival, and after touring Ireland inside out they record their second 8 track E.P. which was released as a free digital download. Things take a real leap forwards when they record a live session for the BBC radio 1 introducing program as well as BBC's Across the Line and Electric Mainline shows plus a headline slot at Ireland's largest independent festival, Glasgowbury. So there you have it, a sweaty bad ass rock’n’roll band fusing together old school blues, punk rock, rockabilly, alt country and classic rock like no other! Their live shows are legendary and are currently reeking havoc throughout Ireland and beyond. Catch them while you can before they explode!!!

Good-time Deep-down and Dirty. Eamon McCann, Belfast telegraph

Here Comes the Landed Gentry are here to shake and rile us once
more. Well aware that youth is no longer on their side, they're a band
for well travelled whiskey connoisseurs, not afraid of a sleazy,
old-skool sea shanty. With a few low flying Derry accents ricocheting
around the venue, they're the Birthday Party, if Nick Cave had been
born in Altnagelvin. Unashamedly filthy. BBC Northern Ireland, ATL

The best thing about Here Comes The Landed Gentry is that they’ve
realised the value of going their own way. They love what they do and
it shines through in every song here. This band are so obviously not
interested in being part of any media-approved scene or trend and are
therefore instantly a much more interesting prospect. Musical mavericks
rejoice! David Roy, Irish News

Rock'n'Roll Punk Cowboys! The most talked about band in town at the minute.
Julie-Anne Campbell, Derry Journal

Bathed in demonic black and red rays, Here Comes The Landed Gentry
begin their mammoth session like a pride of lions who've just caught their
dinner. A powerhouse of talent effortlessly mixing a unique blend of blues
and country under a rock and roll moniker. Niall Kerr, Mid Ulster Mail

The loudest and most energetic session this year, Brilliant!
Rory McConnell, Radio1 introducing

Derry’s foremost musical outlaws, Here Comes The Landed Gentry deliver a
stunning mix of bittersweet, whiskey-soaked odes and good-time stompers.
Their songs mine the rich seams of classic country, blues, punk and rockabilly
to create truly alchemical sounds. Oh, and their live show is pretty special too.
