James Mckay is a British musician, poet and writer currently active in London. Lyrically akin to the late Ian Curtis, he is also paralleled to Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. Though a relatively new face on the music scene James has already rubbed shoulders with the likes of Kid Harpoon, The Duels, RKC (Adam of Babyshambles), The Cazals and Wave Machines. James recently released a demo of 24 tracks onto the internet via his myspace page for fans to download for free. He is currently planning a UK tour later this year with a full band.
