Following the release of their acclaimed debut album Desensitized, NYC based Black Onassis are back to reveal a string of UK tour dates for early 2014 - marking the homecoming for Chris Karloff after his departure from Kasabian in 2006. If you're a fan, you're in luck, as we have tickets and t-shirts to give away.
Chris left his native home of Leicester and moved across the pond to New York City where he formed Black Onassis - renowned for their arresting combination of psychedelic guitar rock with pulsing electronica.
"One thing that’s inspired me a lot to write music is movies, and not just watching them but listening to the music in them as well," says Karloff. "That’s been a massive influence for me, even back in the Kasabian days. From classic John Williams stuff to Ennio Morricone. I want things to be visually interesting as well as sonically good. The fusion of sight and sound is the perfect marriage in terms of stimulation, and we wanted to put a lot of thought into making it an overall experience for our fans."
