We’re really enjoying doing the acoustic and a cappella stuff, but it’s going to be great to throw ourselves around in a full electric show for the first time in ages!
If you’re in the North-East area, come on down!
Don’t forget that we still have our a cappella / acoustic Shepherds Bush Empire show in September on-sale for those ‘Heads fans who live further South.
Get involved, everyone.

We had an absolute ball on the Rant album tour, and there’s been something unique about each show so far. The London Union Chapel gig felt really special, so we are excited to be bringing our A Cappella & Acoustic show to another one of London’s magical venues. The presale begins tomorrow at 10am sharp from the link here.

They go on general sale this Friday at 9am from all the usual suspects.

This year we’re excited to say we’ll be performing at Manchester’s Beached Festival.

Coming from a coastal town ourselves, we’re usually at home (dancing) on the sand, so it’s exciting to us that the organisers of this Festival plan on bringing the beach to Manchester for a weekend of fun right in the City.  Having just played our own show at the RNCM in Manchester, it’s great to be heading back there this summer to play at Beached Festival.  You can check out the rest of the line-up here and buy tickets for the event here.
See you in the (sand) pit!

What’s special about this date is that we’ll not only be packing the guitars for a full-on electric set on the main stage, but we’ll also be doing our a cappella thing earlier in the day as well. Both sets!

That’s twice the reason to get involved and pick up a ticket we’d say….
