A fresh new organic style, best served chilled with a dash of ambience and a slither of groove juice. ‘China Red’ are making great strides, cooking up the winning recipe, that has been simmering since coming together in January 2005. 

The four-piece from Lichfield, Staffs, comprise of Hana Wilmot, 18 (vocals), Matt Warburton, 19 (Bass), Matt Sellar, 20 (drums) and Dave Sellar, 20 (guitar), are influenced by the likes of Morcheeba, Bright Eyes, Public Symphony and the Dave Matthews Band.

Previously known as Roo-nayer, the band are working with MAS records (patron Robert Plant), and have  performed their original material at many high profile venues which include, The Cavern (Liverpool , The Marrs Bar (Worcester), The Wulfrun Hall (Wolverhampton), The Robin 2 (Bilston), The Sandwell Valley open air festival and the Lichfield Rock and Pop open air festival. (one of ten acts selected from over 200 entries)

With catchy melodies, backed up by beautiful riffs and rhythms, China Red are being tipped by people within the industry, as a band to watch in the future
