NORTH London quartet Bombay Bicycle Club will be make their triumphant Bournemouth return on Thursday night at O2 Academy Bournemouth.
Jack Steadman’s prolific, restless band have released three albums in little more than three years and each one has truly been a different kind of fix, culminating in the release of last year’s set by that very title.
A spiky indie teenage debut, I Had The Blues But Shook Them Loose emerged in 2009. The indie outfit even performed a modest set on the beach at Hengistbury Head that summer after they were invited to play at the unusual setting by local university graduate Simon Harris, 23, who answered an ad on their website for interesting places to add to their tour.
The following year saw a ‘where-did-that-come-from?’ collection of stripped-down, timeless folk songs on 2010’s Flaws and the Bombay four changed again last year for A Different Kind Of Fix, switching the guitars back on. More significantly they added haunting electronica and harmonies, courtesy of new recruit Lucy Rose.
The album peaked at number six in the charts and has led to extensive summer festival appearances and a sold-out tour. Songstress Lucy Rose also provides a support set for the Bombay bad boys on Thursday night
