We’ve had to move the Manchester 22/03/10 show from Club Academy to Academy 2, you know why? I’ll tell you, you people are dope and bought all the tickets! We’ve never really experienced this before, we’ve sold out venues but rarely this far in advance, its bloody lovely it is!
Anyway, its the same date, same show, same supports but with more of you lovely people! You can get tickets here. Other venues are going to sell out too, so we’ll do our best to make sure that if we can move the venue we will.
We’re really quite excited about 2010! Thanks once again…
So we’ve finally been able to slip the new video for Get Better into the wondrous place that is youtube.
We were lucky enough to work with director Richard Heslop, who (occasionally with Derek Jarman) has worked with New Order, The Smiths, 23 Skidoo, East 17 and The Shamen to name a few. For those who don’t remember East 17 just imagine N-Dubz but turn the girl into a very ugly man. We really proud of what Richard managed to do with this video, particularly with our typical low budgets!
Last week our King Tuts show sold out! Which, to be honest, is awesome, 11 weeks in advance and sold, sweet! Anyway instead of just being pleased we decided to move the show to a slightly larger venue, it felt like it made sense to make more tickets available instead of just disappointing people. So now the show will be held at the Classic Grand!
If you have tickets already they will still be valid for the Classic Grand show, and if you want tickets clicky here!
It’s been a couple of weeks since “Get Better” got its first radio play, but somehow we have neglected to get it on this here internet for all to hear. This post will rectify that. Basically we are slack, too busy fannying about with the internet to actually get anything done. So here it is with its lovely artwork & the Errors remix (update: Jakwob / 2bears / Villa mixes have now been added):
(feel free to embed this player wherever you like by clicking the share link!)
The Artwork was put together by a man called Lee @ Freshial, who some of you might know from his former musical guise Black Victory, he is also responsible for the album art but more about that later.
We are also really flattered that the Errors agreed to remix the track, dan has been a fan for a while and was genuinely chuffed to hear what the Errors did with the track. It’s great to get so many different interpretations of our music, from Joe (Hot Chip) & Raf’s thugged out house remix as 2 Bears to Villa’s “cosmic” Fraggle Rock dub.
We are ridiculously excited about the new single & album, the album is called “The Logic of Chance” , it’s amazing when we think about the idea that we’re be able to make music full-time, let alone the idea that you want to hear a second album from us. Also we get to tour again too! The first batch of live dates are on the live page now for the UK / Ireland, Europe will have dates in April but they’ll be announced once everything is confirmed in the new year.
“Get Better” will be released by Sunday Best on March 1st. Limited Coloured 7″ will include the Album Version & Errors Remix. Digital will include Album Version / Errors Remix / Villa Dub & Vocal Remixes / Sunday Best 79′ Dub / 2 Bears Remix / Jakwob Remix. You can currently pre-order the 7″ from HMV / Banquet Records (more stores will be available post christmas).
“The Logic of Chance” will be released by Sunday Best on March 14th. Available on very Limited Vinyl, CD & Digital. Again you can pre-order from HMV / Banquet Records (more stores will be available post christmas). “The Logic of Chance” will also be available in the USA / Canada digitally with the physical release coming later in the year.
cheers

PS yes we know the intro sounds a bit like the theme from Fraggle rock, we like it like that!
