Rialto are back on the streets; back from the brink & hungry for life, love, lust, experience. Theirs is a reunion spurred on not so much by a longing for the past as an urgency to grab the best of life while they can. Six years ago, while holidaying in Spain, singer and song-writer Louis Eliot was rushed to hospital for extreme emergency surgery, mere hours from death. His full recovery was an epiphany. “What you might think is if you have a very close to death experience you want to start looking after yourself,” he says. “I just went chasing full speed after my youth. I was just like, fuck it, I might not be here next week, I'm just going to dive in.”

Rialto were a chart-topping, double-Platinum success in SE Asia & a highly acclaimed cult concern in the UK, but undoubtedly a band ahead of their aesthetic time. Following the bands split, Eliot spread his wings. He became a regular collaborator with Grace Jones & Supergrass’s Danny Goffey; as a songwriter his credits included the Ivor Novello winning ‘Leave Right Now’ for Will Young.

'Neon & Ghost Signs' is the bands first album in 24 years, new single 'No One Leaves This Discotheque Alive' is out now via Fierce Panda Records.
