86TV’s in session for John Kennedy’s X-Posure program over Radio X in London on January 26 of this year.
This comes from Radio X’s very own website:
86TVs – a band partly comprised of former members of The Maccabees, Felix and Hugo White, and their brother Will – with the addition of Jamie Morrison, who’s known for drumming with the Noisettes and Stereophonics.
86TVs have been in the works for a while and there’s much more to them than just one track. Find out everything we know about 86TVs so far including where you can find them on tour.
The band came about when former Maccabees members began working on a project that they kept under wraps for five years. The idea lay dormant as they worked on other projects, but they met when they could and steadily began building up material. The band was then cemented by the addition of drummer Jamie Morrison.
Following previous singles, “Worn Out Buildings” and “Higher Love”, 86TVs announced their debut EP which will include two more tracks. The EP was recorded during sessions split between the band’s own Olympic Studios and The Bunker at 13, owned by Stephen Street (The Maccabees, Blur, Suede), who produced all four tracks along with the band.
“You Don’t Have To Be Yourself Right Now is our first ever group of songs to sit together in a collection. It feels good. It’s a fitting place to start – three of us brothers writing lyrics from different perspectives, lots of group singing, guitars, drums, pianos and about six or seven years of our lives all wrapped up in there,” the band explains.
86TVs spent the summer of 2023 working the festival circuit and embarking on their first headline tour. To mark the release of ‘Higher Love’, they’ve shared news of an extensive tour of the UK and Ireland in 2024.
Stay tuned – in the meantime . . .
