Talented Bristolian
three-peice. Formed in January 2005, LeScour draw on a wide
spectrum of influences such as Jeff Buckley, Portishead, Radiohead,
Air, Sigur Ros and Pink Floyd. The band consist of Mark
Maconnachie (vocals, guitar, synths), Nick Wade (bass / synths),
and Pete Moore (drums / pads). Musically, their collective
backgrounds in college bands has forged an imaginative but melodic
sound. Bold, epic, soulful, emotional, intense, uplifting.....LeScour
posess all of these qualities. Having recorded their EP entitled
Little Strategies with Portishead Bass player Jim Barr, the band
have since played at prestigous venues such as the London Astoria,
The Marquee and Bristol Carling Academy. Combined with regular
weekend slots at local venues such as The Fleece, The Louisiana,
and The Croft, LeScour have developed a strong and loyal fanbase.
At the end of a busy 2005, the band recorded an exclusive live
performance and interview for BBC Radio Bristol. This attracted
yet more interest from the industry and music lovers alike. As a
result, 2006 is set to be another busy year for the band.....with
a mini UK tour, a host of summer festivals and another independent
EP release all in the pipeline.
