5-piece Lux Lisbon craft sweeping, cinematic indie anthems with interwoven harmonies and tag-team vocals.
Lux Lisbon met in Nottingham as an accountant, a barrister, and a banker before recording their debut album ‘Your Heart Is A Weapon The Size Of Your Fist’ and subsequently moving to London. The now-5-piece craft sweeping, cinematic indie anthems with the interwoven harmonies and tag-team vocals of Stuart Rook and Charlotte Austen, taking bits and pieces from the Killers, the Maccabees, Dog is Dead and Bloc Party. They have picked up support from the BBC’s Tom Robinson, Maconie & Radcliffe, and Bethan Elfyn, John Kennedy at XFM, as well as The Fly and Word Magazine, and are able to take the leap to the live stage with high-energy performance, projections, and flickering television sets you would expect from a pop-rock spectacle.
Live highlights include Bestival 2012, BT London Live at Hyde Park during the London 2012 Olympics, plus Camden Crawl and Dot To Dot festivals in 2011. Their single ‘Bullingdon Club’ has received a nod of approval from Billy Bragg, and was dubbed “the best power-pop song in the last 5 years” by Sid Griffin, resident musicologist on the Maconie & Radcliffe show on BBC 6 Music.
Latest singles ‘Get Some Scars’ and ‘Your Heart Is A Weapon The Size Of Your Fist’ have been pulled from recording sessions for the next album, due in early 2013 along with a new string of live dates.

HarliKings are a Rock/Pop/Indie/Jazz band that fuse all four together like no other band has ever attempted.
Lux Lisbon met in Nottingham University as an accountant, a barrister, and a banker before moving to London where the now-5-piece craft sweeping, cinematic indie anthems from the interwoven harmonies, tag-team vocals of Stuart Rook and Charlotte Austen and the influence of Dog is Dead, Bruce Springsteen, Bloc Party and The Killers.
2012 saw them record several BBC Introducing live sessions including for Tom Robinson and BBC 6 Music and Bethan Elfyn at BBC Wales – and picked up support from Billy Bragg, John Kennedy XFM, Chris Hawkins at 6 Music as well as The Fly and Word Magazines. Live highlights included slots at Bestival, Y Not Festival and Hyde Park during the Olympics, adding to the previous years Camden Crawl and Dot To Dot festivals.
In 2013, Lux Lisbon release the ‘Get Some Scars’ EP (out 25.3.13) which brings together a handful of heavily supported tracks recorded throughout 2012 – three of the 4 tracks are featured in ambitions and varied promo videos, featuring (amongst other things) an 8-bit zombie apocalypse, several dancing Boris Johnsons, and an almighty homage to Wes Anderson. In support of the release, Lux Lisbon head to the stage across the UK with a high-energy show complete with an ambitious visual projection display that their “epic widescreen indie-rock” (The Fly) sound demands.
