Drifter Promotions are delighted to welcome Leeds band Ellen & the Escapades to Brighton.

Ellen’s dusky, enchanting vocals and strikingly well-crafted songs have already captured the attention of BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music and Amazing Radio. Fans include Lauren Laverne and Steve Lamacq, and the band have already been playlisted for ten weeks on Amazing Radio. Supporting the likes of Josh T. Pearson, First Aid Kit and Paolo Nutini has brought the band’s music to even bigger audiences all over the country.

Summer 2011 saw an abundant string of festival appearances for Ellen and co, including major festivals Glastonbury, Bestival and Green Man, and a range of smaller boutique festivals such as 2000 Trees, Lounge On The Farm and Winterwell. Their Green Man appearance on one of the festival’s biggest stages attracted a full capacity crowd and resulted in unprecedented press attention, including hugely complimentary reviews from Clash Magazine and The Line of Best Fit.

Latest single ‘When The Tide Creeps In’ hit the top spot in both the Amazon Folk and Amazon Rock Charts during its release week. The song is taken from the band’s debut album, which is set for release in spring 2012.

“Their radio-friendly brand of acoustic pop is backed by the kind of classic song writing that evokes Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac and The Sundays.”
