British indie rock band Alex Lowe (Hurricane#1) is coming to Hyde Park Book Club to play an intimate acoustic set in the Snug with guitarist Ricky Papa.

Hurricane#1 was originally led by Andy Bell, alongside lead vocalist/guitarist Alex Lowe, bassist Will Pepper, and drummer Gareth Farmer. 

The band reformed in 2015 led by Alex Lowe, joined by Brazilian brothers Carlo and Lucas Mariani on guitar and bass, and Chris Campbell on drums. Jon Roberts (guitar) and Stuart Fletcher (bass) joined Lowe and Campbell for the band's 2019 album.

It’s been a long time since Alex hit the Road due to 3 times a week of dialysis sessions for the last 2 years, but now with a successful kidney transplant under his belt, Alex is ready to hit the road and do what he was meant to do. The release of Hurricane#1’s latest album, ‘Backstage Waiting To Go On’ in 2023, showed the band at the top of their game once more. 

They have released 4 singles since September last year and their new album ‘Can’t Get There From Here’ will be released at the end of May.

Previous albums include; Hurricane #1 (1997), and Only The Strongest Will Survive (1999) The band's greatest hit Step Into My World’ which also made it onto a 1998 Volkswagen Beetle ad screened around the world.
