Sharing a mutual love of Queens Of The Stone Age, Muse and Iggy
Pop in their teenage years, Joe and guitarist Mike Griffiths started
playing covers in their local pubs. Later joined by drummer James
Goulbourn in 2015, they were completed by Louis Heaps on bass.
HIMALAYAS started making their own unique blend of raucous fast-
paced rock’n’roll music, which soon went on to earn them an
extremely solid fanbase. The four-piece have been cutting their teeth
on the live circuit ever since, playing highly-regarded festivals
including SXSW and Reading & Leeds Festival, supported the likes of
Stereophonics and Manic Street Preachers, and have played sold-
out headline shows in London and Cardiff.HIMALAYAS have also
racked up over 30 million streams on their 2017 track Thank God I’m
Not You, on Spotify alone, where it was also added to several
editorial playlists. The single received spins from Radio 1’s from
Greg James and Clara Amfo, where it was also Track Of The Week,
plus plays from Steve Lamacq on Radio 6.
