The Loveable Rogues are an English acoustic hip hop band from London, consisting of members Eddie Brett, Sonny Jay Muharrem and Te Qhairo Eugene, who rose to fame after reaching the final of the sixth series of Britain's Got Talent in 2012. Their current record label is Syco.[1]
Career
Britain's Got Talent
In 2012, The Loveable Rogues were asked by Britain's Got Talent producers to audition for the show, which caused controversy.[2] They performed two of their original compositions on the show, 'Lovesick' and 'Honest', both which were positively received by fans and the judges alike and were written by the three boys themselves. They had a fanbase before appearing on the show, hence the reason they were invited to audition. They reached the final although missed out to winners Ashleigh and Pudsey and also runners-up Jonathan & Charlotte, finishing in fourth place with 5.7% of the final vote.
Record deal and First Things First
On 12 June 2012, they informed fans to check the papers of tomorrow for 'good news!'. The following day it was announced that the band were signed to record label Syco Music.
In late 2012, the band released a free mixtape through their Soundcloud channel. The collection of songs was released as a free download and was called 'First Things First'. Their debut single, 'What A Night' was previewed along with new songs such as Maybe Baby, Talking Monkeys and Honest. Covers were also on the mixtape including their version of Charmless Man and I Wanna Be The Only One.
On Tuesday 19th February 2013 the boys released the video for their debut single, 'What A Night'. The song will be released on the 21st April 2013.
Olly Murs Support
In November 2012 they were confirmed to serve as the support act on Olly Murs' 2013 Right Place Right Time arena tour. This entailed them travelling the breadth of the country. The tour included them playing two sold-out hometown shows at London's O2 Arena. Each show's running order began with Tich, then the Loveable Rogues, and then Olly Murs.
Setlist: Talking Monkeys, Sweet Loving, Honest, Lovesick and What A Night.
