White Lies are a British alternative rock band from Ealing in West London. They played their first gig at the beginning of 2008 in the East End on the other side of town under the new name White Lies (they were formerly Fear of Flying) at our old local Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, right on the hem of fashionable Shoreditch.
Upon the release of their debut album To Lose My Life, White Lies became the first British act in 2009 to achieve a number one album, and the first album to debut at number one.
Last Saturday Harry, Charles, Tommy and baby-faced Jack treated fans of all ages (there were a lot of baby boomers hanging out on the outskirts of the mosh pit, probably due to the Joy Division similarity) with a dark but uplifting performance at Studio on Auckland's colourful K' Road.
We're no music critics so I will stop short of a review. But we thought they were amazing... what we can remember anyway.
