Getting to know... Llovers

Dork’s throwing an Easter Party this very weekend and it’s going to be a blast. Anteros are headlining, supported by lovely newcomers Superglu and - as you may have guessed by now - Llovers, who’ve spared us a few minutes to answer some questions. Fancy coming to see them this evening? They’re playing the Old Blue Last in London today, Saturday 31st March, and entry is absolutely free. Nice one.

Hey Jack, David, when did you realise you wanted to make music, did you have a musical upbringing? Jack: I think I knew from a very early age because music was absolutely everything to me as a kid. I didn't have much in terms of formal music lessons, but my parents always had a fairly strong taste in music. I can very distinctly remember hearing Bowie's 'Life on Mars' in my Dad's car and just thinking to myself, 'What the hell is this?' and getting the most amazing feeling. From that moment on I just lived for tracks that packed a punch and energy.

How did you guys get together? David: Me and Jack met while working part-time in McDonald's. We joke about how it's our means to escape the Golden Arches. Anyway, we've been in a number of bands separately, one day it came to a point where we thought we'd start something fresh, so we enlisted Joe and Matty with whom we released a few tracks. Then recently we got Ben on board, who's Joe's brother, to play keys for us.
