Biography

Sisters Coco & Holly blend simple-yet-oh-so-catchy melodies with striking harmonies and lyrics. The band got started in Maidstone, Kent in the mid-2000s but its roots and branches can also be traced to the places the sisters grew up in and later lived: Papua New Guinea, Hong Kong, Philippines, Sri Lanka and now East London. Xylaroo found its feet in the Medway music scene doing gigs and open mics as a two-piece. The band soon caught the eyes of independent label Sunday Best records. They were signed by Sunday Best in 2015 and released their debut album "Sweetooth" in 2016. The band still thrives as a duo but, more often than not now, the sisters are accompanied by guitarist Joe Singleton. For some performances the ensemble can swell to a five-piece arrangement with added drums and bass. Their first album "Sweetooth" was met with rave reviews and Xylaroo's songs have received radio play - as well as invites for interviews and acoustic sessions - by the likes of Dermot O'Leary (BB2), Steve Lamaq (BBC6), Edith Bowman (Virgin), John Kennedy (Xfm) and Clive Anderson (BBC 4) Over the last few years the band has supported MIKA, Frank Turner and Pup on tours around Europe. They have also supported Will Varley and Matt Berry and the Maypoles on UK tours and Meilyr Jones.
