Careeredit
The band gained popularity in 2011 with their EP Lost In Familiarity, featuring four songs: "So Sofia"; "Back To Me"; "Discover Me"; and "Fortune Teller". "So Sofia" won support from BBC 6Music and was first played by Tom Robinson. It also won praise from Q Magazine and was featured as a 'Q The Music Track of the Day'.[1]
An instrumental version of "Discover Me" was used as the sound bed for the BT (British Telecom)Wedding,[1] part of a television advertising campaign that followed a fictional couple from their initial meeting through to their wedding day. The Wedding advert premiered during 'Britain’s Got Talent' a week before the official wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. They then appeared on BBC WMIntroducing.[1]
The Musgraves debut single, "Last of Me" (released digitally in March 2012), was first championed by Graham Norton on his BBC Radio 2 show. Before appearing on The Graham Norton Show, televised on 3 February 2012, the band had their van containing all of their equipment stolen on Sunday 29 January 2012 from Lichfield. Staffordshire Police are presently investigating the theft of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van.[2] The first unsigned band to play the show, the band played the set with borrowed equipment and clothes.[3]
