Welcome to the realm of London After Midnight. London After Midnight emerged from the underground in California and ascended quickly to be the fastest growing independent band of this genre. They are unique in the fact that they have achieved international popularity and acclaim without the help of a record label or management. (Seconds, Issue #29)
London After Midnight was formed by singer/guitarist Sean Brennan in the early 1990's. The band includes Tamlyn (keyboard), Michael Areklett (bass), and Douglas Avery (drums). These members have been in the band since 1990 (Sean & Tamlyn) to early 1992 (Douglas & Michael).
The band has a strong following, with some fans being obsessive enough to stalk individual members and get London After Midnight tattoos. One would think this type of hysteria would be unusual for an entirely self produced band. It is, but this is the band.
London After Midnight has toured extensively from the West Coast and New York to Europe and all over Mexico where they drew enormous crowds. They have appeared on major radio stations and MTV in Latin America and Europe.
Currently they have signed a contract with Metropolis Records, which will make their CDs more available worldwide. In addition, they are opening for The Cure at the Zillo Festival in Germany in mid August and will be starting a US Tour late autumn.
Update: you may have read this on the official London After Midnight webpage, but Doug has left the band... farewell & good luck.
