Rizzle Kicks performing at Great Escape 2011

I saw Rizzle Kicks at the Great Escape Festival earlier this year, before they’d even had any singles out. Nobody had heard of them, and I don’t think they benefited from the outside stage or the time they were playing. While I was there, I bumped into James Kendall from the Source who had just interviewed them for their June issue – he told me to watch out for them, because in a few months, they’d be huge. And he was right. After several successful singles, the album got released this week and went top 10. Congratulations!
