A HISTORY are an English glitter doom band formed in London in 2011. The group is composed of vocalist Aquila Rose, multi instrumentalist Graham Alderton and drummer Bel Conde[1].

History

Formation

Graham Alderton meet Aquila Rose while Aquila was still in the all-girl alternative choir Gaggle at a warehouse party in North London and bonded over the music of Tom Waits and the love of big drums.[2] Originally know as "Tina, In The Green Dress" the concept of the band originated from finding a suitcase of letters and diaries in a market in Coney Island. These letters span a journey of a young woman from Mississippi to New York in correspondence with her fiancé who had been posted to Vietnam[3].

After Rose left Gaggle the pair played their early shows with only a handfull of songs.[4] With more songs written they managed to secure further shows in London[5] and Liverpool where the band where described as "mixing sounds, textures and Jacques Brel meets Goldfrapp imagery to great effect" [6]

Wanting to expand their live sound they added Bel Conde on drums. The band has since collaborated with theatre company Twisted Hip [1] to create a multi-sensory experience at The Roundhouse.[7]

Musical Style

Tom Robinson's "Fresh On The Net" describes the bands sound as "a bit Siouxsie at times dropped into a bed of first album The xx".[8]

Radio

The Single "FOX" has been played on BBC Radio 6 Music program "The BBC Introducing Mix Tape"[9] and NTS Radio [2] [10]
