Gold, silver and bronze

Golden Silvers are a band causing a real buzz around London town right now. Formed from the ashes of the once XL-signed Dolly Daggers, GS peddle in feelgood, soulful and guitar-less pop music using an organ, bass, drums alongside three part vocal harmonies.

A quirky but compelling sound it certainly is, one that has seen them likened to quintissential British twists Ian Drury & The Blockheads. Front man Gwilym Gold's lazy, nonchlant and endearing vocals and strong stage presence have also evoked comparisons to a certain Pete Doherty.

In any case - with songs the quality of 'Magic Touch', 'Arrows Of Eros' and 'Train For A Brain' (all available on their MySpace), it surely won't be long till they're snapped up by a label and are being namedropped by the geezer down your local who reckons he knows his music.

Their LFC appearance at The Old Blue Last in February was a veritable corker, one which saw the near-capacity crowd shake their hips in a way you wouldn't necessarily expect on a Monday night. Check out their debut, homemade video of 'Magic Touch' below, partly filmed at this very gig:



The band also host their own night each month at Hoxton's fashionable Macbeth, the cunningly titled 'Bronze Club'. Each time they headline, with a series of special guests appearing below them - recent months have seen the likes of Young And Lost signed Naked & The Boys play, as well as hotly tipped eccentric singer-songwriter Josh Weller. Be sure not to miss the next one on Friday 18 April. If you can't make that, they're gigging pretty furiously around the capital at the moment - check out their MySpace for details.
