Pitchfork Festival London: Charly Bliss, London

Charly Bliss biography

Charly Bliss is an American four-piece power pop band formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2011 comprising Eva Hendricks (lead vocals, guitar), Spencer Fox (vocals, guitar), Sam Hendricks (drums), and Dan Shure (vocals, bass).[ The path that led to their first full-length record, Guppy, was anything but straightforward. As the story goes, the band officially started when frontwoman Eva Hendricks and guitarist Spencer Fox, both just 15, crossed paths at a Tokyo Police Club show in New York City, but the ties within the band go much deeper than that. “It’s kind of insane and hilarious,” says Eva, “Sam is my older brother, so obviously we’ve known each other our whole lives, but all of us have been connected to each other since we were little kids. Dan Shure and I dated when we were in our early teens and he and Spencer went to summer camp together. Dan and I broke up years ago, but eventually he’ d become our bass player. The reason we all get along so well has to do with the fact we share this ridiculous history. We are all deeply embedded in each other’s lives.” CHARLY BLISS IS EVA HENDRICKS, SAM HENDRICKS, SPENCER FOX, DAN SHURE
