Red Drapes are a four-piece band currently situated in London, England. Their melancholic sound and strong lyrical emphasis takes influence from post punk and new wave bands of the 80’s, The Smiths, Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Cure. After only few live shows, Red Drapes soon earned themselves support slots with The Boxer Rebellion, O Children, White Rose Movement and The Chapman Family. A dystopian and somewhat nihilistic view of modern life is documented and encapsulated in their songs.
In the later months of 2008 after studying photography at university in their hometown, Adam (vocals, guitar) and Thomas (guitar) moved from the subdued coastal city of Southampton to London. They looked toward the capital for inspiration and creativity, and were invited by a friend to live in a derelict pub in South London shared with artists. Braving a cold winter, the empty building soon became a place of writing and a makeshift rehearsal space where their sound would resonate over the surrounding estates.
Whilst working in a record store, Adam met George (drums) who shared mutual influences. He was invited to a rehearsal and later joined. Spring 2009 saw a move from the derelict pub to a new place of rehearsal, in the form of a disused room in a Victorian building. Due to its deep crimson walls and bare floorboards, it was entitled by the band as ‘The Red Room’. Following regular writing sessions, Riley (bass) a close friend of George’s was invited to hear the band and joined shortly afterwards.
