Biography

ENGLISH

Skylight Parade started as a trio back in Finland in 2012.
After years of gigging and developing their sound, they realized that Finland was just not going to provide them with the opportunities that they needed. So in February of 2019, they decided to move to London, UK.
At this time though, their former drummer Alexi decided to drop out and the band continued as a duo, executing live drums through a launchpad system.

Torsten & Tuure released their debut EP ’I FEEL IT BEGIN’ the day after the move to London and it consists of 6 original songs written by the band itself and produced by Topi Kilpinen and Torsten Borg while still living in Finland.

The band's main influences are pop artists such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande & 5 Seconds of Summer with a mix of their older influences of 70's and 80's rock.

The main mission of the move is to sell out the Electric Ballroom in Camden on a one-year deadline. That means playing a lot of shows anywhere and everywhere in London.

The band is also the subject of ’BAND IN LONDON’, an online documentary series following their journey to the Electric Ballroom. Watch the ongoing season here: https://goo.gl/mvWD85
