IMPERIAL LEISURE
"People of the UK, your champions have arrived." (mysongbird.com)
"Amazing live band." (Drowned in Sound)
"...all you can do is pity the fools that came in late." (London Metro)
Imperial Leisure spent 2006 commandeering and converting crowds across the country. They (legitimately) played festivals such as The Secret Garden Party and TDK, not to mention (illegitimately playing in the car parks at) Reading, En-Dorset, Fruitstock and LoveBox, as well as springing spontaneous gigs on unsuspecting but hugely appreciative crowds in shopping centres, parks, and on beaches around the UK then supporting US hip-hoppers, Ugly Duckling on tour.
2007 has already included slots with Gym Class Heroes, Sugar Hill Gang, The Beat, Sway, Skinnyman and a reunion with Ugly Duckling as well as festivals including Secret Garden Party, Exeter Respect, Bristol Cider Festival, Blissfields and The Brick Lane Festival.
With three self released EPs out over the course of the last year, Imperial Leisure have recently been irecording new material with producer Junk Scientist (Larrikin Love, The Rakes).
Imperial Leisure are a phenomenon: a ten-piece fusion of hip-hop, ska and rock with a live brass section, keyboards, DJ, two MCs and a singer, who have been mates since school. They work and party together, and put equal energy into both things. This energy is what sets the band apart on stage: electric performances around the country have seen them compared to
"The Beasties and De La Soul, playing Less Than Jake at a cult-rock party"
