The Orielles to swoop into Birmingham this March

‘60s inflected surf trio The Orielles make their maiden voyage into Birmingham this March, settling their feathers in the Actress & Bishop on Saturday March 5th.

The band – featuring Esme and Sidonie Hand-Halford, and Henry Wade – are embarking on a short jaunt across the UK, and are being touted as one of the bands to make a leap into the mainstream for 2016. The best thing to come out of Halifax since Howard Brown, The Orielles combine Zooey Deschanel-style vocals with chorus-inflected guitar motifs and surf rock rhythms. If you’ve yet to sample their genius, give their magnum opus, the infectious ‘Space Doubt’, a play now.

The gig is 18+, and support will come from Birmingham’s omnipresent support act of choice, the brilliant FRANKTickets are on sale now.
