"...a cross between The Fratellis & The Beautiful South, Midnight Schemes

catchy melodies and dancey tunes, they were the deserved winners on
the night, claiming victory 'by quite some way' according to the
judges" - TCS

Bio
The Schemes sound is very particular. Raw bluesy vocals, folky guitar playing, slap-funk bass, and d&b live drums shouldn't work together, but it does, and sounds strangely poppy. Midnight Schemes have been compared to The Fratellis, The Mystery Jets and Tom Waits. Their style is unique, and musicianship and experience are rare.
What the band say:
"The three of us have wildly different musical backgrounds. We met at uni and started jamming by accident. Our styles slowly merged into one punchy package, and before we knew it we found ourselves playing college nights and the end of year balls where the crowd started singing along to our lyrics. At this point we thought we should take it further. We all moved into the same neighborhood in London and now gig about once a fortnight, building fans and crowd numbers as we go."
