The Royal Affairs

Sounds of Adultery in the Motor City.

About Me

The Royal Affairs. The name connotes a dark world of secrets and adultery. Black cabs in London. High rises in New York. Dank, corner bars in Detroit. The music is an in-your-face personification of all of the above. ____________________________________________________________ _ Looking back on a succesful first year, the Affairs have received favorable press throughout the state of Michigan for their raucous live shows, and have played with national acts We Are Scientists and The Capes (UK) as well as Detroit heroes such as Electric Six and The Nice Device. The debut EP 'Please Forgive Us' was recorded in the summer of '06 by Jim Diamond, with new material currently in the works. ____________________________________________________________ __Profile edited with: CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor
