Bio
Picture Book are brothers Dario Darnell and Lorne Ashley, born in New York City and raised in Manchester, UK. Dario and Lorne have inherited a love of performing from their father August Darnell, lead singer and band leader of the legendary Kid Creole & The Coconuts.
Picture Book released their first commercial EP 'At Last' in mid January 2012. The four track EP, which was co-written and recorded with Grammy nominated vocalist Greta Svabo Bech (vocalist on Deadmau5's 'Raise Your Weapon') and produced by Dan Grech and Hugo Lecercq (aka Madeon), has already gained much praise; featuring on iTunes 'What's Hot' playlist and the Myspace's homepage. Lead track, Sunshine, has been dubbed "the first clubbing anthem of 2012" (EQ Music Blog) and "An inspiring debut" (iTunes UK).
Dario and Lorne have spent the last three years based in Liverpool, where they attended University whilst writing, recording and performing, creating their own unique style of electronic dance music. Picture Book's live show takes the ideas and concepts of their recorded music and reassembles it to fit a club setting. This exciting and memorable performance is performed entirely live, with the band playing multiple instruments on stage, often simultaneously.
