Biografie
White Lies are an alternative rock band from Ealing in West London, England,[2][3] currently signed to Fiction Records. Formerly known as Fear of Flying,[4] the band consists of Harry McVeigh (lead vocals, guitar) Charles Cave (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Jack Lawrence-Brown (drums).[5] The band have released four singles, "Unfinished Business", "Death", "To Lose My Life" and "Farewell to the Fairground". Their debut album To Lose My Life... was released on 19 January 2009, debuting at #1 on the UK Album Chart.[6]
Formation (2005–2007)
Cave and Lawrence-Brown were both from Pitshanger Village in North Ealing, and first played together in a school show at North Ealing Primary School.[3] McVeigh (from Shepherd's Bush[7]) joined them two years later,[8] and they began playing under the name Fear of Flying. Cave described the band as a "weekend project", which later evolved into having support slots with The Maccabees, Jamie T and Laura Marling.[9] They released two double A-side vinyl singles on independent record label Young and Lost Club, "Routemaster/Round Three" on 7 August 2006 and "Three's a Crowd/Forget-Me-Nots" on 6 December 2006.[10] Both vinyls were produced by former Blur and The Smiths collaborator, Stephen Street.[11][12] They went on to play the inaugural Underage Festival in Victoria Park, England on 10 August 2007.[13]
Two weeks prior to the group starting university, they decided that they would take a second gap year, and perform new material which the band felt did not suit their current outfit. Bassist Cave stated that "I felt as though I couldn't write about anything personal, so I would make up semi-comical stories that weren't really important to anyone, not even me."[9] Fear of Flying disbanded in October 2007[14] with a MySpace bulletin stating "Fear of Flying is DEAD ... White Lies is alive!",[9] before introducing a darker sound[15] and a new name that reflected their maturity.[16] When asked about the name change in an interview with a radio station in San Francisco, Jack Brown stated that "We just thought that we should perform these songs as a different band. We had songs that we felt weren't suitable for the band that we were in and we thought White Lies would be the perfect vehicle for the songs."[15]
Name change and debut album (2007–present)
Playing under the new name, White Lies played their first gig at Hoxton Square's Bar & Kitchen on 27 February 2008, with a number of A&R executives in attendance. The band admitted rehearsing for two months for the gig.[9] Following this, the band received numerous record label offers, eventually signing to Fiction Records. When asked about their name, the band said they chose the name because "white lies are common but quite dark, and that's how we see ourselves".[17] Receiving airtime on BBC Radio 1, Zane Lowe named "Death" his "Hottest Record in the World" on 5 February 2008, despite the song having never been officially released.[18] They made their television debut on Later... with Jools Holland on 30 May 2008 playing singles "Unfinished Business" and "Death".[19][20] During the summer of 2008, the band headlined BBC Introducing at Radio 1's Big Weekend, in Maidstone, Kent on 11 May 2008.[21] They went on to play numerous UK and overseas music festivals, including major festivals Oxegen, T in the Park, and the Reading and Leeds Festivals.[22] Their first headline tour visited 13 UK venues between September and October 2008.[23] Beginning in May 2008,[24] the band spent two months in sessions for their debut album in Belgium and London,[25][26] which was provisionally titled To Lose My Life or Lose My Love.[27] The title came from a line in the album's title track, "To Lose My Life". A provisional release date was set for January 2009.[28] During October 2008, the band scheduled a short United States tour, including an appearance at the CMJ Music Festival on 23-24 October alongside Jay Reatard, Amazing Baby and Violens.[29] Following this, the band returned to support Glasvegas on their fifteen date UK tour in November and December 2008.[30] NME exclusively announced the official release through their website on 29 October 2008, stating that the album, with shortened title To Lose My Life..., would be released on 12 January. The band preceded the album with the single release of the album's title track "To Lose My Life" one week earlier.[26] The full-length video for "To Lose My Life" premiered exclusively on the band's MySpace on 21 November 2008,[31] before being added to the MTV Two and NME playlists.
On 11 November 2008, NME announced that White Lies would be taking part in the 2009 ShockWaves NME Awards Tour, alongside Friendly Fires, Florence and the Machine and headliners Glasvegas. The annual tour, taking place in early 2009, visited seventeen cities in the UK.[32] On 7 February 2009, it was announced in NME that the entire tour had sold out.[33] White Lies ended the year with Xfm's Winter Wonderland, playing the London fesitval on 3 December 2008.[34] They have also been announced as one of four bands playing NME's Big Gig on 26 February 2009,[35] and were named second in the BBC's Sound of 2009 poll.[36] "From the Stars" appeared as iTunes's "Single of the Week" on 30 December 2008.[37] The band were also featured on the cover of UK music magazine The Fly in January 2009, and came third in the 2009 BRITs Critics' Choice Award behind Florence and the Machine and Little Boots.[38] In support of the album and latest single, the band played a Live Lounge session for Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 1 show on 14 January 2009, playing "To Lose My Life" as well as a cover of Kanye West's "Love Lockdown".[39] The cover was included as a b-side to "Farewell to the Fairground",[40] released on 23 March 2009.
Upon the release of To Lose My Life, White Lies became the first British act in 2009 to achieve a number one album.[41] In support of the release, the band played on Channel 4's Shockwaves Album Chart Show[42] and the Late Show with David Letterman,[43] the latter being the band's first performance on US television.[44] Following supporting Snow Patrol on their tour of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland,[45] the band embarked on their own headline world tour, playing across Europe, North America, Japan and the United Kingdom.[46] Whilst in North America, the band co-headline the NME Presents tour with Friendly Fires. The bands are supported by The Soft Pack,[47] with White Lies headlining seven of the fifteen dates, including an appearance at the South by Southwest festival.[48] During the tour, the band were forced to play a shortened, six song set at New York's Bowery Ballroom,[49] due to singer McVeigh having throat problems.[50] During summer 2009, the band have been confirmed to play a number of UK and overseas music festivals, including Isle of Wight,[51] T in the Park,[52] Oxegen,[53] Benicàssim[54] and Coachella.[47]
Musical style
As Fear of Flying, Banquet Records described the band's second single as "Quite danceable indie".[55] The Guardian's official website named them an indie-pop band,[9] stating "they made promising, if unremarkable, Franz Ferdinand-styled pop with cheeky chappy lyrics".[14] In an interview with BBC London, they cited Talking Heads as a major influence.[56] White Lies' darker sound[2] has been compared to Editors,[57] Arcade Fire,[58] Joy Division,[59] Interpol,[60] The Killers,[58] Echo & the Bunnymen,[57] Tears for Fears[28] and The Teardrop Explodes.[61] Lead singer McVeigh's singing voice has been compared to that of Ian Curtis[4] and Julian Cope.[62]

The bands are supported by The Soft Pack,[47] with White Lies headlining seven of the fifteen dates, including an appearance at the South by Southwest festival.[48] During the tour, the band were forced to play a shortened, six song set at New York's Bowery Ballroom,[49] due to singer McVeigh having throat problems.[50] During summer 2009, the band have been confirmed to play a number of UK and overseas music festivals, including Isle of Wight,[51] T in the Park,[52] Oxegen,[53] Benicàssim[54] and Coachella.[47]
Musical style
As Fear of Flying, Banquet Records described the band's second single as "Quite danceable indie".[55] The Guardian's official website named them an indie-pop band,[9] stating "they made promising, if unremarkable, Franz Ferdinand-styled pop with cheeky chappy lyrics".[14] In an interview with BBC London, they cited Talking Heads as a major influence.[56] White Lies' darker sound[2] has been compared to Editors,[57] Arcade Fire,[58] Joy Division,[59] Interpol,[60] The Killers,[58] Echo & the Bunnymen,[57] Tears for Fears[28] and The Teardrop Explodes.[61] Lead singer McVeigh's singing voice has been compared to that of Ian Curtis[4] and Julian Cope.[62]
