Citizen are a new band which transcend the house/dubstep/drum & bass genres with ease- leaving my ownly available description of them as Electronica. Although you may not have heard of them, give it a year and that should change. The guys (and girl) have been busy in the studio preparing material of the highest quality, which is to be kept under wraps for the time being, until what could be an explosive emergence in 2011. I was lucky enough to get a preview and can safely say you WILL want to hear it... and then hear it again.
Back to the shoot and its a brisk night in the City Centre, we congregate at the bands rehearsal space in the Northern Quarter. Have a little chat and listen to their material before starting. The rehearsal studios had a nice vibe about them and we get some good shots in the corridors & stairwells before venturing outside. The lovely Mancunian weather means nobody is too keen to stay out that long, and the wind gives its best attempts to destroy my flash & light stand but we end up with some killer shots. Theres something about cities at night which really gets me going so to combine this with some band shots is an absolute joy- and something I'll definitely be doing again!!
Watch out for Citizen in 2011- don't say I didn't warn you!
