Following the critical acclaim of their debut album TIME, Caezar is set to be another success story. A string of sell-out concerts and top support slots has seen Caezar hailed as one of the most progressive live bands to emerge onto the music scene. Listening to them is one thing – hearing them live is another and an experience not to be missed.
So, who are Caezar? After a reunion between two former members of Scots group, The Silencers, a new music project was born, resulting in the powerfully emotive debut album Time. JJ Gilmour and Joe Donnelly enjoyed great success during their individual stints with The Silencers, having toured with Simple Minds, David Bowie, U2 and The Pretenders, and have recently been invited by both Chrissie Hynde & Jim Kerr to open the show for them as Caezar. Joe and JJ never played together in The Silencers at the same time, but bonded instantly during an emotional week in Glasgow when all ex-Silencers performed together. The sell-out gig was in aid of guitarist, Cha Burns who sadly passed away soon afterwards. Joe and JJ seized the opportunity and began writing together.
After the success of TIME their second album HOME is out now. The band recently launched the album to a loyal fanbase in their hometown of Glasgow.
“We’re so proud of both albums and look forward to performing them to as many people as we can in the near future.” Joe & JJ
