ANTS and later worked with Sinead O'Connor. Chris (bass, lead
vocals) previously led JACKIEONASSID and has worked with Adam Ant,
Annabella Lwin(Bow-Wow-Wow) and Sinead O'Connor also. Zelig Preston
Heyman (Massive Attack, Kate Bush) also features in the Wolfmen on
percussion. Alongside their own work, the band is known for some
surprising collaborations with artists ranging from LOU REED to
DALER MEHNDI, the biggest selling artist Indian in music history.
They've also covered Screaming Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You"
with PRIMAL SCREAM for an ALEXANDER MCQUEEN catwalk show and
co-written a few tracks on Sinead O'Connor's new album. Debut album
Modernity Killed Every Night was mixed by Alan Moulder (The
Killers, U2, Arctic Monkeys, Smashing Pumpkins), lead track
"Cecilie" being A-listed on NME Radio for seven weeks in a
row.
The Wolfmen's 2011 second album - Married To The Eiffel Tower -
was produced by Courtney-Taylor-Taylor (frontman/songwriter with
The Dandy Warhols) and Jacob Portrait (Queens Of The Stone Age, Foo
Fighters)., winning massive radio support with spins from the likes
of Dermot O'Leary (BBC Radio 2), Chris Hawkins (BBC 6Music), Don
Letts, Sarah Kerr (BBC 6Music), Lauren Laverne, Gary Crowley and
David Quantick.
"Dense stuff… Extraordinarily overstated… an unholy
mix…" UNCUT
"Steeped in the space-age glam boogie of Bowie and
T Rex with a bit of Iggy-in-Berlin thrown in… infernally
catchy…" MOJO

panther party leader John Sinclair! Voted one of the Bands to watch
in 2012 in 'Viva le Rock' magazine!
- Adam Ficek RKC
RKC formerly known as Roses Kings Castles was first conceived in
2007, originally intended as an underground platform for Adam Ficek
to air the songs that were too 'odd pop' for his band
Babyshambles.
The initial eponymously titled album was released in 2008 on
Adam's own label 'The Sycamore club' receiving cult critical
acclaim. The Debut was followed a year later by the 'Apples &
engines' ep and then in 2010 by the second long player 'Suburban
Timebomb' at which point RKC had evolved into a six piece touring
band, creating a much bigger noise...
"neat, Lovelorn lo-fi pop"
NME
"'Adventurous, well crafted pop from
ex-Babyshambler. Classic songwriting"
