Band Biography for colorama:

1. Colorama are a British psychedelic folk pop band formed in Cardiff, Wales in 2008 - the brainchild of Carwyn Ellis, the Welsh wonder, a respected multi-instrumentalist & uber-producer who has performed or collaborated with the likes of Edwyn Collins, Oasis, UNKLE, Shane MacGowan, James Hunter, Lay Low and Pete Molinari to name just a few.

Colorama’s debut album ‘Cookie Zoo’ received a Japan release to giddy critical acclaim, and their first single, ‘Sound’ is an instant psych pop wonder - a perfect introduction into a sonic world you won’t wanna leave.

‘Magic Lantern Show’, featuring songs in Welsh and English was released last summer with ‘Dere Mewn’ becoming a modern classic in Wales and garnering rave reviews and lots of airplay on both sides of the border.

Described as 'incredible' by Huw Stephens and hailed a ‘Soft Psych Classic’ by Sean Rowley, Magic Lantern Show has been enthusiastically received with extensive radio play on XFM, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 & BBC Radio Wales.

The band only started playing together in early July 2008 and has since played Glastonbury Festival, Latitude Festival and the Green Man Festival.

This autumn sees their third CD release - ‘Box’ to much anticipation – the promise of more mercurial gig and festival appearances to come…

2. Colorama is a Brazilian funk band.
