Left With Pictures are from London, and formed in 2005. They started with three hard-up, classically trained musicians – Stuart Barter, Rob Wicks and Toby Knowles – who forsook the orchestra pit for the sanctuary of Toby’s parents’ loft. Armed with melodicas, guitars, violins, kazoos, ‘found sounds’ and a shoestring budget, they began with a self released EP in 2005.
In 2008 LWP signed to Organ Grinder Records, added two new members Tom Walker and Ed Seed – and released an EP entitled “Secretly” which was praised by The Guardian, Drowned in Sound, Time Out and others. Since that time they have played shows with Johnny Flynn, Micachu, The Leisure Society and Alessi’s Ark, been championed by the likes of Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq, Bob Harris and Lauren Laverne, headlined London’s Bush Hall, embarked on a tour with support from the hotly tipped Broadcast 2000, and launched their debut album ‘Beyond Our Means’ at a sold out launch party at Hoxton Underbelly.
In 2010 – the band will release a song and a video on the last Monday of every month. The project, called “In Time”, will see each new track premièred on Gideon Coe’s BBC6 Music show.
