Neon Highwire

Neon Highwire is three determined men from two countries with one goal: to make you dance like a grizzly bear on a Turkish hotplate. If it weren't for a series of happy coincidences involving stolen shoes, broken synthesisers and port, it may never have happened. A fusion of dirty electro and angular post-rock guitar soundscapes, their sound is strapped into intricate structures with three part vocals that amplify and propel the songs to their irresistible climaxes. Formed in late 2008, Neon Highwire wander confused around the streets of London forcing themselves upon the general public melodically and erotically with their musicianship; and their £5 haircuts. They've played shows at 93 feet east, The old blue last and 333 amongst others, and are fast building a reputation for inhumanly energetic performances and an ability to get even the most hard line 'standing stillers' dancing their tits off. It's an electroplosion. Their début EP, Luminescence, was released digitally on 14th December 2009 cementing a year of incredible musical development for the threesome, and their impact has been rippling far and wide, much like SARS. In addition to multiple plays on Tom Robinson’s show on bbc 6 music, Neon Highwire has been played on a variety of radio shows including Chicago’s Westside Will & Andy Quirk's hits Of The Near future. The band have supported the likes of Pete & The Pirates, Dragonette and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and their next EP is eagerly anticipated for release in 2011. The world needs Neon Highwire and it is starting to realise it. See for yourself at www.neonhighwire.com. They are Luke Fussell, James Dippie and Steven Morgan.
