About Villanelle
Villanelle are a three-piece from London: Gene Gallagher on vocals and guitar, Ben Taylor on guitar and Jack Schiavo on bass. They play heavy, fuzz-driven alternative rock that the music press keeps filing under grunge, with Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins as the obvious reference points and a sardonic streak in the lyrics.
Their debut EP, Measly Means, collected five songs including "Placebo" and "Squeeze", and "Some Chew Lip" followed as a single. They have toured as support to Miles Kane and were picked for Dork's Hype List before headlining rooms such as Gorilla in Manchester and Scala in London.
