Manchester-based electronic pop four-piece, led by the voices of Reuben Hester & Chloe Bebbington, backed by Danny Marland & Jack Candela.
Manchester (UK) has a huge history of producing the next generation of cultural icons and innovators in music. From Stone roses, New order, Simply Red and The Happy Mondays to Oasis and Blossoms. Enter China Lane, the next in line to propel this Mancunian legacy.
China Lane is a quartet fronted by Reuben Hester and Chloë Bebbington, along with Danny Marland and Jack Candela as producers/instrumentalists. The group formed whilst busking on the streets of Manchester in early 2016. Huge crowds coming to see the group day in & day out motivated the band to get in the studio and start recording some of this material that was organically coming together.
China Lane played their debut gig at the Great Escape Festival in Brighton on May 20th, 2016, immediately starting an industry buzz that has been growing ever since.
China Lane's debut single ’Marco Polo’ was released in September of 2016 and has currently received over 212,000 Spotify plays. Having been added to “The best of introducing mixtape” on BBC Radio 6 Music and various YouTube channels including ‘Wave of good noise’.
Their latest release 'In Motion' has nearly racked up 800,000 plays and has also been added to the River Island, Top Shop, H&M, Debenhams and New Look in-store playlists as well as going to No.1 on Spotify's Viral 50 in Holland. BBC Introducing Manchester have shown great support also by keeping it on their show over 10 weeks running and inviting them to the BBC Studio at Media City Manchester for an exclusive live performance.
In April 2017 China Lane SOLD OUT the notorious Manchester Academy for their first ever headline show.
China Lane has effortlessly built a huge following totally independently with zero budget. With over a million Spotify plays and 20,000 Facebook page likes in just 12 months off the back of just two released songs, it’s fair to say the hype is real and the next steps will be crucial to the success of the band.
