AFAS Live

White Lies are an English indie rock band from Ealing, London. The band’s core members are Harry McVeigh (lead vocals, guitar), Charles Cave (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Jack Lawrence-Brown (drums). They formed in October 2007 after writing songs that did not fit their original band, Fear of Flying. The band delayed their first performance for five months to generate media interest and signed a recording contract with Fiction Records shortly thereafter. Their singles "Unfinished Business" and "Death" led to tours and festival appearances in the UK and North America, including a headline performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend and participation in the 2009 NME Awards Tour. In early 2009, White Lies appeared in several "ones to watch" polls, such as the BBC's Sound of 2009 and the BRITs Critics' Choice Award. Their debut album, To Lose My Life..., released in January 2009, reached number one on the UK Albums Chart. The band performs live as a four-piece with Tommy Bowen joining them during performances.
