Luxury Stranger at DV8Fest, York, 17/07/10

Luxury Stranger were recently honoured to play at the inaugural DV8 Festival, held in York.

The band played a punchy 30-minute set, which included material from the new album 'Commitment and Discipline'. Other acts at the festival included Wayne Hussey, The Eden House, Screaming Banshee Aircrew, Glass, Romance, Rhombus, and Gene Loves Jezebel.

Some reviews:

"As Luxury Stranger takes to the stage we are already anticipating a fine performance – why? Because this band have been one of the biggest and most popular modern "gothic" bands in these parts for a long time and their sound crosses boundaries like no other act on this stage for the weekend".

Many thanks to those that came down to see us, especially to those that had travelled from the UK! We had an excellent time, and it was amazing to be part of the event which has become synonymous with superb venues, sound, organisation and line-ups.

You can see pictures of (some of) our exploits and some nice professional shots over at our Facebook group:)

Influenced by the sounds of post-punk / new wave from 1978 - 1984. Imagine: Bowie and Pop's Berlin years mixed with the disparate sound of Joy Division and early Cure with the melodies and power of The Chameleons - this is Luxury Stranger. Currently promoting their debut album, 'Desolation', the band is putting the finishing touches to its follow-up, 'Commitment and Discipline', to be released this summer.

"....the windswept grandiosity of classic line-up Echo and the Bunnymen". (ThisCity Magazine)

"...they just do the song thing so well and create the sort of record you should, depending on age, be cranking up before going out for the night. It’s one of those perfect life-affirming collections". (Mick Mercer)

"...one of the UK's standout dark alternative acts". (Sphere Webzine)
