The Sequins

The Sequins

The Sequins are an indie-pop band from Coventry, England who are currently released through Coventry indie label Tough Love Records.

History

The Sequins were formed in 2002, after vocalist Hywel Roberts and guitarist Justin Hui performed a version of Talking Heads' Psycho Killer on the ukulele at the University of Warwick in 2002. Roberts and Hui were joined by Rob Hinchliff, Karthic Kukathasan and Simon Vint, and they joined Coventry-based label Tough Love Records. Their first single, 'Nobody Dreams About Me', was released in 2005.

They released their debut album The Death of Style in November 2007; however, the general release date was January 2008.

They play around the UK though predominantly in Coventry and London. Members of the band play in various other groups, including Tawt and Special, the latter of which entered the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005 and 2006 but were unsuccessful in their attempts to make the final.
