[edit] History
In 2001, vocalist and guitarist James Ewers met fraternal twins Saul (bass) and Dylan (guitar) Perryman while attending Reading College and School of Arts and Design (now part of Thames Valley University). Ewers spent a year working in London’s 12 Bar Club, writing songs on the bus to work, bashing them out in empty midnight slots. Some time later, James, Saul and Dylan came together once again and met drummer Sam Stopford at Kingston University in London and formed 'My Luminaries'.
In 2004/2005 they performed live shows around London including gigs at The Highbury Garage, The Clapham Grand, The Carling Islington Academy and The Camden Underworld. They gained airplay on XFM and BBC Radio 1 OneMusic [1]. After selling all 1000 copies of their self-produced debut EP, My Luminaries signed to the Avalon Management Group and worked with producer Sam Williams (Supergrass/The Mystics/The Animalhouse) in 2005.
