Bio
Sexy Summers is the electro pop creation of dynamic musical duo Josh Bilton and Sean O’Hanlon who draw influences from radio friendly pop classics to more alternative and Synth based acts that society can’t get enough of whilst maintaining a strong original signature sound. The Sexy Summers regime is simple: to write tracks that are so catchy, they won’t stop bouncing off the walls of your mind. Recent gig sound checks have confirmed that this philosophy is working too, with other bands humming the Summers' tracks aloud after one hearing which can’t be a bad thing. In the short time Sexy Summers have been creating music for the good-weather masses, they've received outstanding feedback from their local BBC Introducing team, having tracks played on the unsigned show as well as playing a 4-song live set. If that wasn't enough, the tracks 'Old Days' and 'Little Words' were forwarded to none other than Radio 1's Huw Stephens for airplay. Both members come from similar musical backgrounds, moving through the musical ranks listening to and loving the same pool of artists, each burning a love for both the commercial and the underground music scenes. Combining these styles hasn't been an easy thing to attempt, and up to now, it's something that the boys haven't conquered. Under the Sexy Summers moniker is where everything changes. Drawing musical influences from literally everyone and everything, ranging from the disjointed chord styles of Debussy, the throw-it-in-the-mix style of writing seen from The Beatles, through to the overall madness of everything that Lady Gaga is with a whole lot more in-between, the tracks give you a sense of everything you've heard before, with a whole lot of something new poured in for good measure. The latter half of 2010 has been grand so far for the synth-infected duo. Notching up a handful of London gigs before the year finally bows out, and playing a selection of intimate hometown gigs, the following has started, and if what’s happened so far is to continue, an electro pop snowball is imminent. 2011 looks to be a good year where synth pop is concerned. Together we’ll make the Summer Sexy. -
