Flight Brigade

Flight Brigade

Friday 25th Oct | Centrala, Digbeth

Think of Flight Brigade as a family and you start to understand the chemistry between them.

Consider their songs as epic stories to which each member is essential, and you begin to grasp what makes their music so powerful.

Watch them perform and you can’t fail to be struck by the special bond they share.
Their sound is as distinctive as it is unique. Infectious melodies and hooks flow through songs that at times exude fierce energy and at others gentle poignancy. With grand orchestral sweeps, crunching anthemic guitars, strings and synths, their explosive performances feel like it’s their last day on earth.

Festival appearances have included Glastonbury, Bestival, The Great Escape, Beautiful Days, Blissfields, and Boomtown as well as Reeperbahn in Germany. Named one of Time Out’s ‘Rising Stars’, radio play has included, Dan O’Connell Radio X; Steve Lamacq & Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music; Gary Crowley, Bob Harris and Janice Long on BBC Radio 2. Signed to Wixen Publishing (Neil Young, Black Keys, Rage Against the Machine) in 2018, their songs have also been used on ‘Made In Chelsea’, Channel 4’s ‘Sunday Brunch’ and E4’s “Tattoo Fixers”.

They caught the ear of esteemed producer Chris Porter and were invited to record their second album at The Visconti Studio. The album is due for release in the autumn of 2019. Members Ollie, Thomas and Dorry also compose for film, adverts and TV.

Members Ollie, Thomas and Dorry also compose for film, adverts and TV. Their expanding side project has seen a commission for ITV, an advert for NBC in the states, and independent films such as the upcoming ‘Learning the Ropes’ narrated by Ray Winstone.
