Young Empires formed as a result of a craigslist add in 2009 and within two weeks, they played their first show. The upcoming two years proved to be a globe trotting adventure for them, being jet set to cities including Bogota, London, Los Andgeles, Paris, Stockholm, New York, and Miami to perform with the likes of Jamiroquai, Foster The People, Chromeo, Sleigh Bells, and Dragonette and at festivals like SxSW, CMJ, and Brighton’s The Great Escape. Additionally, the band has made waves in the sync world highlighted by multiple placements on primetime network TV, EA Sports FIFA 13, and the CTV where “White Doves” served as a theme song for their broadcast of the London Olympics. Although Young Empires have been developing their recordings for the past few years, the musicians feel that their EP, “Wake All My Youth” is only a taste of what’s to come.
