Lightspeed Champion is the name of the new musical venture by ex-Test Icicle Devonte Hynes, currently signed to Domino Records.
Containing musical elements from a variety of genres, Lightspeed Champion is a radically different sound to Hynes' previous band.
The band's name comes from a series of comic strips Hynes did as a teenager in his school maths books.
In summer 2007 the band supported both Bright Eyes and Final Fantasy on tour, before launching a headline tour of their own in September/October.
In fall 2007, Hynes performed solo in support of Patrick Wolf and Good Shoes on their UK tour.
The full band played a headline tour of the U.K in early 2008
