White Collar Weapons
As a wee lad, Gareth Sacala would go to the phone-box at bounds green
and call his friend Kieran Rafferty, now songwriter and bandleader of
White Collar Weapons. Kieran would send variable qualities of music
down the line and Gareth would give encouragement. The first
incarnation of White Collar Weapons - 'The Mornings' - enjoyed it's
only ever gig in drummer Sam Bennett's bedroom.
Ten years later, they are playing packed shows across London and
ploughing new seams of spit-folk, blue-eyed soul and college rock. A
cascade of top musicians has been recruited in the form of a brass
section, Chris Chen (Chris Chen quartet) and Will Morgan (the
philbys), violinist Tim Lacey (monkey - journey to the west), drummer
Dan Harley (The Sagens) and bassist Tom Parkinson (summer holiday).
Their debut e.p. Kieran Rafferty and the White Collar Weapon - 'Four To Forget' is available on iTunes and Spotify from 24th August - preferable to listening in a phone-box.
