William The Conqueror

William the Conqueror, a three-piece from Cornwall playing groove-driven alt-rock, bring their pop, rock and indie sound to a Birmingham concert at The Sunflower Lounge.

William the Conqueror are a trio from Cornwall, and their music is rooted in groove-driven alt-rock. Their songs also draw on the storytelling traditions of folk and Americana, and the band describe their sound as balancing fuzz and finesse. They are regarded as an underground act, and their identity rests on that blend of rock drive and narrative songwriting.

The band have toured with Bright Eyes, Nathaniel Ratliffe and Wilco. They have also made records with two producers: Ethan Johns, whose credits include Kings of Leon and Laura Marling, and Joseph Lorge, who has worked with Phoebe Bridgers and Perfume Genius. Several albums into their career, they continue to change direction, shaped by life on the road and by their work in the studio.

This pop, rock and indie evening takes place at The Sunflower Lounge, a Birmingham venue that hosts concerts and shows.
