Picture Book
Picture Book are brothers Dario Darnell and Lorne Ashley, born in New York City and raised in Manchester, UK. Dario and Lorne have inherited a love of song writing and performing from their father August Darnell, lead singer and band leader of the legendary Kid Creole & The Coconuts.
Dario and Lorne have spent the last three years based in Liverpool, where they attended University whilst writing, recording and performing, creating their own unique style of electronic dance music. Picture Book's live show takes the ideas and concepts of their recorded music and reassembles it to fit a club setting. This exciting and memorable performance is performed entirely live, with the band playing multiple instruments on stage, often simultaneously.
Picture Book released their first commercial EP 'At Last' in January 2012. The four track EP was co-written and recorded with Grammy nominated vocalist Greta Svabo Bech, who featured on Deadmau5′s 'Raise Your Weapon'. The EP demonstrates the breadth of songwriting skills, from the uptempo and immediate 'Sunshine', to the more reflective 'Terminally in Love'.
