New Music – Late Night Legacy

Our music feature is normally dedicated to our local bands but we think a Cumbrian shouldn’t be excluded because they live out the area, so we present Leeds based ‘Late Night Legacy.’
Egremont’s Ryan Kitto is lead singer of the group who is often compared with the high energy of the Red Hot Chili Peppers layered with the vocal power of Eddie Vedder, although Ryan feels their sound is more like the Arctic Monkeys or Queens of the Stone Age.
The group unleash an uplifting sound and you get a sense of a wide range of Indie influences that goes further back to the likes of Hendrix and Led Zeppelin.
“It’s not that unusual to end up in a band in Leeds,” explained Ryan. “I grew up in West Cumbria and went to Lakes College but I came to Leeds for university, loved the music scene and ended up staying. About three years ago I answered an ad on Gumtree looking for a singer. I auditioned and that was that.”
Late Night Legacy has built a solid following and have had a busy schedule: “We tour all over the country and we try to fill our summer playing festivals up and down the UK because we love doing that.”
The group recently released a high energy single ‘Paddy’ but Ryan says the group have been busy recording another that should be released by October: “We’ve put we put a lot more time and money into it so we’re looking forward to getting it out there.”
