A breakthrough 2014 saw Gengahr establish themselves as one of the most exciting new groups around today with debut single ‘Powder’/’Bathed In Light’ earning support from the likes of Huw Stephens, NME, The Guardian and Blogotheque; whilst both tracks were playlisted at BBC 6Music and XFM, as well as hitting the blog-aggregating Hype Machine charts.
It was a year that also found the band taking on festival stages across the globe, with Glastonbury, Latitude and MIDI among those subject to their smoky and catchy performances. Subsequent tours with fellow underground heroes Wolf Alice and Superfood slotted perfectly alongside the larger stages they shared with Dry The River, Jungle and The Maccabees; sculpting their sound to a perfect point. And 2015 shows no sign of this slowing – after “queue round the block”‘ performances at Eurosonic, the band are set to support Alt-J at the O2 arena before heading off with them on their European tour and then returning for their own headline dates in Manchester and London.
The band are set to depart on a UK/ European tour with Alt J, before their own headlining shows. They’ll be coming to the US in March for SXSW.
