The band were asked to play the opening performance of 2006's V Festival after winning Channel 4's "Road to V" competition. Following the release of two EPs and their debut single "Evening/Morning", the band recorded their debut album, I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose. The album was released on 6 July 2009.
History
Steadman, MacColl, and de Saram were 15 when they started playing under the name The Canals and were cycling through various aliases until they picked Bombay Bicycle Club, named after a chain of Indian restaurants in London. The line-up changed regularly until summer 2006, when Nash joined the band. They played gigs at school and at small London venues such as The Old Blue Last, Lark in the Park and Jacksons Lane.
The band were entered into Virgin Mobile's "Road to V" competition on Channel 4 in 2006. They were announced as one of two winners of the competition on 16 August 2006, beating competition from fellow London band - and favourites to win the competition - The Holloways in the final round of fourteen bands. Previous participants include The Young Knives, who were winners of the inaugural competition one year before. They were given the opening slot of the 2006 V Festival, playing on the Channel 4 Stage in Chelmsford on 19 August, before opening the Staffordshire site the following day.
