"Azure means “the blue of a clear or unclouded sky”. This Azure Halo with its earthy grit of sandpit vocals scrapes bluish across shards of chordal twist, and the devil dogs of the musical kennel howl with glee. Acid band, man! Who better to test your twang?" ~James Lowe, The Electric Prunes.
Azure Halo are a seven piece Indie/Psychedelic band hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. They have been likened to The Velvet Underground, The Doors and The Stone Roses with a recent live set described as, "Like something from a Tarantino film."
Singer Rik has already had one of his songs "Left in the Blue" covered by Californian 60's psychedelic band, The Electric Prunes. And Bassist Neil had a short spell in Peter Doherty's Babyshambles.
"Azure Halo came to a gig in Glasgow, Scotland and offered to let us hear what they were doing in the studio.....The gravel pit vocals really sell the songs and I found myself prying the CD away from my wife and her girlfriends as they swooned to the tunes. In a time when so much crap is out there it is refreshing to hear some actual music. We felt it was so cool we decided to cover one of the tunes." ~James Lowe, The Electric Prunes.
"Azure Halo is a wee blues infused rock revelation. Their lead singer delivered vocals in a Glasgow-come-Lou-Reed style drawl that suited their melodies. Songs like Tik Tok stood out from their set with it's off kilter style delivery and excellent guitar playing from their baby-faced lead." ~Kirsty Fraser, New Hellfire Club Glasgow.
