Realize Records' L. U. V. Releases Self-Titled CD at Proud Galleries with Band of Skulls

British-based band L.U.V. plays at Proud Galleries at their CD release party for "L.U.V." Special guests, Band of Skulls will attend the event. Jimmy Sweet, former member of Hot Hot Heat and lead singer of L.U.V. is the mastermind behind the sexy new band.

Los Angeles, CA, January 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- L.U.V. will be releasing their new EP in London, England on Thursday, January 13th along with special guests Band of Skulls. The EP street date is scheduled for January 18th, 2011. The EP was produced by Dan Horne (formerly with Wolfmother) and highlights old-American rock ’n’ roll infused with British electro-pop that results in a sound of its own. The band has been selling out shows around London, creating a buzz after being chosen by Zippo to perform and be photographed by legendary photographer Mick Rock at his gallery opening.

The band was the brainchild of singer/songwriter Jimmy Sweet, former member of Hot Hot Heat, Richmond Sluts and Rolan Bolan. Label representatives began considering L.U.V. after meeting the personality in an unlikely place – a grocery store. “If Iggy Pop, Goldfrapp, The Cramps and Peaches spawned a love child, you would have L.U.V.,” states label CEO Michel Grey. Sweet has performed with many bands, but he affirms, “L.U.V. is my baby. This is the band that I’m pouring everything into.”

Along with Sweet comes a sexy trio - Claire, Holly and Kasia. The blonde, brunette and redhead trio make up the rest of L.U.V. Bassist Claire has appeared internationally in live performances and music videos, and has written several film scores. On drums and percussion is Holly, who has performed in numerous live shows and was accepted into Paul McCartney’s Fame School. The synth-player Kasia, originally from Poland, went to music school at a very young age before abandoning classical music and discovering her talents in rock ’n’ roll. The major accomplishments and talents of the rockers mixed in with their overall appeal establish a show that you won’t easily forget. The newest addition to the band, Chloe, will make her debut performing at the CD’s release.

The CD release show is at Proud Camden located at The Horse Hospital Stables Market, Chalk Farm Road, Camden Town NW1 8AH. Tickets and more information about the show can be found at proudcamden's website. Along with the CD release party, L.U.V. launches the "Dirty, Sexy, Rock n Roll" tour with performances scheduled at various venues throughout London and the United States beginning in the spring of 2011.
