Experimental rock trio Tall Ships swap instruments throughout their set, endless layering and looping samples to build a wall sound, featuring a strong rhythm section, an array of electronic beats and great, melodic vocals. Tall Ships are, in every sense of the term, a live band.

Tour with We Are Scientists, Three Trapped Tigers, support Metronomy in Brazil plus play Live at Leeds, Camden Crawl, Great Escape, Sound City, Stag & Dagger, Hop Farm and Bestival festivals.
