Sevenball shine most brightly live. Their music has been described as ground-breaking rock with sky-scraping vocals by The Guardian. The nucleus of the band is the kinetic partnership of Luke Ritchies devastating voice and Andrew Dunns distinctive lap slide style playing an acoustic guitar through an electric amp -, creating a collaboration of intensity and passion that has, on several occasions left audiences with aching limbs.
After hearing Sevenball, Radio 1s Mary-Anne Hobbes put Luke in touch with Wes Borland (Limp Bizkits ex-guitar player) to work in his new band Eat the Day. They met to discuss the project, however this has been put on indefinite hold since Wes is currently working for two soundtracks.
More recently, Luke has also just returned from Prague, after working on a highly acclaimed Czech film, Horem Padem. The director Jan Hrebejk and composer Ales Brezina first heard his voice while staying in London, and consequently invited him to sing on their new soundtrack. The film looks set to enjoy similar success to their last work, Divided We Fall, which earnt them an Oscar nomination for Best International Film in 2000. Horem Padem has also become one of the most successful films in the Czech Republic, and earnt Sevenball a major slot at the Czech Republics largest music festival United Islands this summer.
