Playing their first ever gig in the UK, the charismatic foursome bagged themselves a deal with one of the top Booking agents The Agency Group. 

Playing their first ever gig in the UK, the charismatic foursome played their rhythmic blend of psychedelic 60’s rock and pop mixed with a modern indie twistto an enamoured crowd which included Natasha Bent (Foals, The Knife, Foster the People, Gotye) and Oliver Ward of The Agency Group who will now be representing the band for live bookings for the rest of Europe outside The Netherlands.

“We are super excited to be on board, and can’t wait to continue the build and development of such an incredible act” – Natasha Bent

Earlier this year at Eurosonic Noorderslag, the band met Los Angeles manager David Swartz of Kosher Management (Slow Magic, Patrick Wolf, El Ten Eleven, Kid Karate) and in Brighton during the Great Escape, Taymir and their Dutch management (Tim van der Zalm & Bas van Wageningen) agreed on the terms of a co-management partnership with Swartz to take Taymirs success to the next global level.

“When I saw Taymir play for the first time in Groningen, my reaction was immediate because that is the kind of effect they have on an audience. Their stage presence and musical chops came through loud and clear at The Great Escape and this is a band ready for the international stage. These kids have an incredible debut album to share with the world and I’m thrilled to be part of the team.”

We couldn’t be happier to announce this achievement for another great Dutch band and if you would like to hear what the boys have to say then please let me know and we can arrange an exclusive interview.

Taymir will play over 40 festivals this year, including, Pinkpop, Indian Summer and Zwarte Cross. You can also see them in London on 11th June at the New Blood Festival or at Artbeat in Paris on 18th June.
