Faith & Hope Sign Leeds Band 'Buen Chico'
Faith & hope are delighted to announce the signing of the Leeds band 'Buen Chico'. The three piece (Morgan - guitar & vocals / Kirsty - bass & vocals / Al - drums) signed a long term deal on Friday.
"Ever since he recorded his first ep at school Morgan's had the London A&R men battering down his door. This has been one of the most fiercely fought A&R battles we've had" commented Faith & Hope's David Wood.
Buen Chico have recorded tracks in the past with producer David Kosten (who's previous collaborations include Michael Stipe and Chris Martin) which were paid for by EMI but Buen Chico met their 'future home' when Faith & Hope's scout Ben Hennessey Snell heard them just before they won the 'Future Sounds' competition at 'The Cockpit' in Leeds which gave the band the chance to play 'The Leeds Festival'. A gig in London alongside the 'Kaiser Chiefs' also brought Buen Chico to NME's attention and they asked if they could include one of Buen Chico's tracks on their "Best of 2005" compilation album as one of their tips for 2005 along with 'The Rakes' and 'The Departure'. The Album went on to be a 'Top 10' in the iTunes chart.
Buen Chico songs are a fiery mix of pop new wave, motown, alternative indie and punk, inspired by the likes of Supergrass, The Ramones, The Smiths, Weezer, The Flaming Lips, The Pixies and The Beatles. The band will be working directly with Faith & Hope's founder and director Neil Claxton. "Buen Chico is the first of two major signings for us this year and I'm really excited and looking forward to working with them" commented Neil.
