From Reading via Kingston and Manchester, the core of My Luminaries - vocalist James Ewers and identical twins Dylan and Saul Perryman - trod the musical boards for years, going through many name changes and drummers before they found Sam Stopford and sat down to write spiky, jagged indie-pop riffs. They were snapped up early in 2006 by V2 for a development-style deal.

James looks a bit like that guy from Razorlight, only he's not a twat. To recap, then:

James Ewers - vocals/guitar/keyboard
Dylan Perryman - guitar/keyboard/backing vocals
Saul Perryman - bass/backing vocals
Sam Stopford - drums
