Rialto

Rialto was formed by Louis Eliot and Jonny Bull from the ashes of their previous band Kinky Machine. The duo honed their first album on a 16 track reel to reel machine in Bull's South London flat. Eliot's songs had a narrative bent, mostly describing night time scenarios and Bull drew on his love of The Beach Boys and 60s wall of sound.

The group disbanded in 2002 but in April 2023 it was announced that they had reformed.
