Kings of Lyon

These are the  new and vibrant Kings of Leon tribute act called the ‘Kings of Lyon’.


 

The Kings of Lyon played their debut gig in February at a venue called, Rehab in Harrogate. The gig was a huge success selling over two hundred and fifty tickets, filling the venue to its capacity, and the enraptured crowd recalled the band for two encores. The band then played to a sell out crowd at a new 650 capacity music venue in Hull, the Tower nightclub, earlier in March. The band took four more subsequent bookings from this night alone for private parties and nightclubs in Newcastle and Lincolnshire, receiving subsequent bookings for Universities in Canterbury, East Anglia and nightclubs in Essex and Norfolk. 

 

                                                                                                                     
 
The four musicians who make up the kings of Lyon are no stranger to success in the music industry; having played together for over seven years in various successful projects, yet this year the band have recently had their most successful year so far. Over the last two years the band has played throughout the UK in a covers band called, ‘The Beards’ which still performs for various events such as: weddings, universities, private parties, ticket only public venues, open air festivals and corporate functions.The members of the band also received their first television exposure as they were crowned ‘Global Icon winners 2008′. Global Icon was an online competition sponsored by ‘Sky Television’ which featured thousands of bands from Europe and gave exposure to the band’s original writing project, ‘The Riffs’. The competition, which was filmed and recorded in Manchester for a live voting audience, has lead to more promising connections, bringing the band in close communication with a range of record companies interested their own material.
 

I’m sure you are aware of the huge success recently regarding the Kings of Leon and I am sure you will agree that it is a perfect time to tribute this band. The Kings of Lyon invented themselves at the beginning of this year and were extremely confident that this would immediately gain momentum and after the reaction from their first show it was definitely understandable. What makes the ‘Kings of Lyon’ so special is that they have a wealth of experience though still young; they also have a great sound, which they have worked on for years, and are fortunate to have the look as well.

The band come equipped with their own professional sound engineer who is considered now to the ‘fifth member’ as he has such an accomplished grasp of their sound, a range P.A systems and lighting to suit any venue. They have too, their own transport making them extremely self sufficient. Posters, a website and studio recordings are now completed along with an exciting 90 minute live set encompassing all the hits and fans’ favourites from the Kings of Leon’s last four albums#
