Espresso would be grand: 
Temples – Live At Route du Rock Festival – August 16, 2014 – Radio France/FIP
With the release of their fourth album Exotico, produced by none other than Sean Ono Lennon and the much talked about Lennon remix of Gamma Rays, Temples have established themselves as one of the bands at the forefront of the Psychedelia revival.
Temples was initially formed as a home studio project in mid 2012. Tom Walmsley and James Bagshaw had known each other for years before these projects. It was at this point that they were in rival bands based in their hometown of Kettering. The duo had later worked together in The Moons, with Bagshaw also having sessioned with the Lightning Seeds and co-fronted another earlier Kettering band Sukie who formed in 2006 and charted at No 1 in the UK Indie Chart with their debut single “Pink-A-Pade”. Sukie were featured in the fanzine “Siren”, edited and created by Walmsley to document Kettering’s music scene.
The duo uploaded four self-produced tracks to YouTube, which caught the attention of Heavenly Recordings founder Jeff Barrett, who agreed to release the band’s debut single “Shelter Song” in November 2012. They then enlisted fellow Kettering resident drummer, Samuel Lloyd Toms (Secret Fix, ex-Koolaid Electric Company) and keyboard player Adam Smith and started rehearsing as a band, so they could play their songs live, having never played live as a band before. Temples released their second single “Colours To Life” in June 2013.
This morning it’s a gig from the venerable Route du Rock Festival in 2014, when Temples were still relatively fresh and getting their feet wet.
Great set – good energy and an astounded audience, clocking in at an hour and two minutes from Route du Rock, on August 16th. Perfect.
Crank this one up.
