Fenech Soler

If you can’t big up your best mates band just before they release their first official single then when can ya! 

Fenech Soler made up of Ben, Dan, Ross and Andrew have are all mates of mine from back home in the shire. We went to school together in Oundle, Ben and Andy are in my year with Dan and Ross being a bit younger.

I’ve always been a fan of these guys, they’ve tested the water with several different genres but the sound they have now has been churned out and martured over the last 4 years or so of experimentation.

They’ve been picked up by the legendary french house DJ/Producer Alan Braxe, you may know him better as 1 half of Stardust. Fenech Soler are due to release their first single, The Cult of Romance, on his funky french record label Vulture at the start of May.

They’ve recently been featured as The Guardian’s  ’New band of the day’ and their forthcoming single was featured in The Times ‘track of the day’. Two good reviews. 

Realising the importance of digital and the web as a marketing channel, in being a new band, they have profiles on just about every major social site that you can think of Last FM, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Youtube and they’re own funky looking blog FenechSoler.blogspot.co.uk, which is really the best place to catch the best and more exclusive news about them. 

The boys have toured and DJ’d with loads of big names already despite being unsigned, Sam Sparro, The Presets, Does it Offend You Yeah? and The Whip. Major influences include Michael Jackson and The Whisperers, according to Myspace.  I know there’s more modern ones such as Soulwax, Justice, Digtialism and multitude of others that we’ve all had mannier messy night out listening to.

Fenech Solers first debut single is due for realese on the 11th of May…Go buy it
