SONS OF RAPHAEL
TO SUPPORT MINI MANSIONS ON THEIR UK TOUR THIS MAY
UK FESTIVAL APPEARANCES ANNOUNCED AT HIT THE NORTH, NEIGHBOURHOOD WEEKENDER AND END OF THE ROAD
“Every now and then a band comes along with such panache that you have to wonder if the band are real at all. Sons of Raphael could be that band.” – Loud and Quiet
“The title track’s melding of Beach Boys-like vocals, Pink Floydian portentousness, choral harmonies, brass, woodwind and fairground organ is a statement of intent…” – Sunday Times Culture
SONS OF RAPHAEL – brothers Loral and Ronnel Raphael – announce they’ll be joining Mini Mansions on their UK tour this May. The 13-date tour kicks off in Glasgow on the 6th and ends in Liverpool on the 27th.
The band have also been announced to play a handful of festivals this Summer including Hit The North in Newcastle (3/5), Neighborhood Festival in Manchester (25/5) and End of the Road in Dorset (1/9).
Full list of shows below and tickets available to buy here.
In September 2018, Sons of Raphael released their ‘A Nation of Bloodsuckers’ EP on Because Music. The four-track EP features the title track, which came accompanied by a stunning video and ‘Jesus’, alongside ‘Eating People’ and ‘Rio’, both taken from their debut AA single.
