Night Herons

About Me



Formed in late 2007, Night Herons are a female fronted five piece hailing from Leeds and Bradford. Having played numerous successful gigs around West Yorkshire at venues such as Leeds’ Cockpit and The Love Apple in Bradford, they’re starting to cause a musical stir with their unique sound. They’ve recently enjoyed radio play on BBC Radio 1 with Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw, BBC Radio Sheffield Raw Talent with Iain Hodgson and, in addition, they've been played on BBC Radio 6 Introducing with Tom Robinson. Their new songs have attracted attention and praise from numerous musical sources and critics. With a unique sound and a massive array of influences, Night Herons are hoping to have an eventful future.

Night Herons have a new three track E.P. which will be available at all gigs.

Sounds Like: ''This seven track demo relates to the more modern indie band but with more personality and a more individual and unique sound. This is particularly emphasized by the lead female vocals, sounding similar to early Debbie Harry particularly on 'Systematic Error', which gives each track a more distinctive sound in comparison to its peers.'' - Sandman Magazine
