1) - Stagecoach melt faces at fifty paces with junk-pop juggernauts about pizzas, chess leagues, and Buffy.
Huw Stephens span their single 'Map To The Freezer' exhaustively on both his Radio 1 shows. He then invited the band to play the BBC Introducing stage at Reading & Leeds 2010, before naming Stagecoach one of his BBC Introducing acts of the year. In February the band recorded a live Radio One session at Maida Vale.
You may have heard Stagecoach on BBC One's ‘Gavin and Stacey’ Christmas & New Year specials. Channel 4 also used them on season 2 of ‘Skins’. Two of the band’s tracks feature on the international trailer for this year’s breakout British comedy ‘Killing Bono’.
The band recently toured with indie heroes Johnny Foreigner and Glaswegian rockers Twin Atlantic.
Stagecoach’s new AA single ‘Tony Hawk/Jonah Lomu’ (producer James Kenosha – Pulled Apart By Horses/Dinosaur Pile-Up) was released on May 30th through This is Fake DIY, and the band are now striding gallantly through the Summer's festival circuit, with dates at The Great Escape, Dot To Dot, 2000 Trees, Kendal Calling and many more.
2) - KK Downing (ex-Judas Priest guitarist) started his first band, a pop band called Stagecoach, between the age of 17 and 18 with his second cousin Brian Badhams on bass guitar (now with The Elkie Brooks Band) and drummer Martin Philips.
