Willkommen show at the Silver Bullet with Rachael Dadd, Rozi Plain, Eyes & No Eyes and Dancehalls

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

We’re doing a show for the Label Love project, which is raising money for independent labels that lost all their stock in the recent fire at the PIAS warehouse during the riots. Which sadly includes us and our very good friends Broken Sound.

We have a fantastic lineup featuring four bands from the increasingly convergent Broken Sound / Willkommen gangs: Rachael Dadd, Rozi Plain, Eyes & No Eyes (formerly Tristram) and Dancehalls (formerly Curly Hair). The gig is on the 5th September.

Expect plenty of cross-pollination. The gig is at The Silver Bullet in Finnsbury Park, details and tickets from here.

In other news, Dancehalls are fantastic and have a new EP available for your ears on their bandcamp page. And Rachael Dadd’s new album is a MASTERPIECE.

Check out her brilliant new video:

The Leisure Society support Laura Marling on tour and play special show at The Barbican

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

The Leisure Society have announced they will be supporting Laura Marling on her sold out Cathedral tour this autumn. Dates can be found here. Also our favourite lady Alessi Laurent Marke will be supporting on LM’s dates in America, dates can be found by clicking that same link.

The Leisure Society have postponed their own headline tour, which was scheduled for October, until February.

London-based fans of the Leisure Society can still get their pre-Christmas fix when the band play a show with the Heritage Orchestra at the Barbican in December. Tickets are available here.

Also my favourite TLS track ‘We Were Wasted’ is on the Tyrannosaur soundtrack, and there’s now a trailer featuring it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/video/2011/aug/25/tyrannosaur-world-exclusive-trailer

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

14th – Winchester Railway
15th – Bristol Louisiana
17th – Manchester Deaf Institute
18th – Leeds Brudenell Social Club

Peggy Sue’s awesome new album ACROBATS is released on Wichita on September 12. You can preorder it here and I recommend that you do.

Keep up with Eyes & No Eyes on facebook here. Both of these bands also play our Foxtrot show at Stanmer House, full details are available here and tickets are here.
