The Silhouettes are a rock trio from North London whose passion for music stems back to the early years of their lives.
The pioneering members, Jamie Nove (drums) and Ben Kershaw (guitar) began this musical sensation when their urge to kill a man in a stupid hat with an umbrella was overwehelmed by their enjoyment of the music at an intimate Red Hot Chili Peppers gig in London.
In a thrilling brainstorm, Ben and Jamie decided upon the name of the band in the early hours of one morning and so The Silhouettes were born.
