Example announces autumn UK tour dates 2014

Singer, songwriter, producer, occasional rapper and all round king of the club banger Example, is set to release his brand new single ‘10 Million People’ on 5th October. The track has been taken from his top ten album ‘Live Life Living’ which is out now.

He said of the track: "10 Million People was written after watching a documentary on early 90's rave culture. I found this video online where they were interviewing people at an illegal rave. The guy with the microphone said to one of the revellers "surely this whole rave thing is just a fad". And the raver replied "well 10 million people can't be wrong". I wrote and produced the track in a day with Fraser T Smith. It's my favourite song on the album and feels timeless for me. Right at the last minute I went back in and added a rap at the start just like I did on last single 'One More Day'"

The live arena is where Example is a true master. Renowned for his monstrous live sets, he is set to once again transform venues across the country in to colossal party scenes. Announcing a tour taking him to 26 towns and cities later this year, he said: "I haven't covered the UK properly for such a long time. The last two arena tours were superb but we missed some corners of the UK and a lot of people can't travel hours to see a gig, especially on a week day. It’s a marathon tour, even for me but I've carefully chosen all the venues myself - some of which I've played in loads of time and others which I've never been to. Expect all the hits from the last 3 albums plus all the bangers and singles off album no.5 in a spectacular 90min show"

Lola Colt announce debut album details and UK tour dates for this Autumn

Lola Colt announce debut album details and UK tour dates for this Autumn

'Away From The Water' is the highly anticipated debut album from London six piece Lola Colt. Produced by Bad Seed Jim Sclavunos, the album has been intricately crafted by the songwriting partnership of vocalist Gun Overbye and lead guitarist Matt Loft through a cinematic writing style born of a mutual love of vintage film and visual soundscapes.

Hailed as one of London's most exciting and captivating live bands by fans and critics alike, this six-piece have been taking audiences by storm. Their shows have been described as "a spellbinding and dramatic experience with both sonic and visual intensity" and they make certain every show feels like a special event.

Crystallising their breathtaking live experience into physical form has been an intense and challenging experience as Matt explains "Our music is pure escapism and the thought of recording it felt strangely like trying to put up walls around a dream. What we strived to create is a timeless record that takes the listener on a journey to a different place with each listen".

'Away From The Water' is released through Fuzz Club Records on October 27th including a limited edition silkscreen gatefold coloured vinyl and will be supported by a full UK tour with further dates to be announced.

Allusondrugs Confirm UK Tour in September

Allusondrugs formed in 2012 in West Yorkshire when Jason Moules (Vocals), Drey Pavlovic (Guitar), Damo Hughes (Guitar/Vocals/Effects), Jemal Malki (Bass) and Connor Fisher-Atack (Drums) came together after meeting on the Leeds music scene.  Influenced by Nirvana, Deftones, My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth and known for their blisteringly intense guitar rock sound, the band have attracted national press attention and a huge following of fans who are drawn to their captivating live performances.  

The Allusondrugs EP was recorded and produced in one week at Greenmount Studios in Armley, Leeds. The record was tracked live to analogue tape as band members performed together in one room.  Although additional overdubs and vocals were added complete the tracks, the core of the recording was done live in an attempt to capture the band’s energy on record.

The Axis of Awesome UK tour 2014 starting in September

The Axis of Awesome are set to do their biggest tour to date this September. Their new show ‘Viva La Vida Loca Las Vegas’ will premiere at the Edinburgh Festival and then tour for 17 dates across the UK, starting on 11th September in Millom and culminating on 29th in Leeds. Their last show received multiple 5-star reviews and they were described as “a superbeast of high energy, high impact comedy”  **** by Chortle.co.uk.

The Axis of Awesome have a truly global fan-base – they have previously enjoyed sell-out seasons in Edinburgh as well as at the Adelaide Fringe and Cabaret Festivals, tours of Germany and the UK, the Sydney and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, the Sydney Opera House, three sold-out tours of Sweden, Perth Fringe World, Singapore and two tours of the US.  They have also played at the prestigious invite-only Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.

Not content with obliterating box offices around the world, they’ve also smashed online records – their ‘Four Chords Song’ is one of the highest rated YouTube comedy videos of all time, and their videos have amassed over 90 million hits.  Their latest smash hit ‘Rage of Thrones’ has over 1 million hits, and it’s pretty darned awesome.

They have notched up multiple TV appearances in Australia as well as globally, and their latest album ‘Christmawesome’ has flown off the shelves.  You might have seen them on Comic Relief, Jason Manford's Comedy Rocks or heard them many times on The Scott Mills Show on BBC Radio 1.

They recently received funding from YouTube and Screen Australia as part of the Skip Ahead program to make a web series in Los Angeles, so by the time you read this they’ve probably already done that, or are in breach of contract.

The Axis of Awesome are three human men. Lead singer Jordan Raskopoulos has appeared on numerous Australian TV shows, including Underground: The Julian Assange Story, and recently won an International Emmy as part of the team behind #7DaysLater.  Benny Davis is a classically trained musician and has millions of hits on his YouTube channel “The Human Jukebox”, as well as a recent tour to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Guitarist Lee Naimo is a champion improviser and has featured on Slideshow and Written It Down where he made stuff up. He isn’t as talented as Benny, as boisterous as Jordan or as smart as most dogs, but he sure is part of the band. Lee once fractured a bone in his foot playing Nintendo Wii Fit.

Black Onassis reveal UK Tour 2014 dates

Following the release of their acclaimed debut album Desensitized, NYC based Black Onassis are back to reveal a string of UK tour dates for early 2014.

This tour marks a significant homecoming for Chris Karloff. After his departure from Kasabian in 2006, Chris left his native home of Leicester and moved across the pond to New York City where he formed Black Onassis. Although he found limitless musical and creative opportunities in his new settlement, after seven years of being away he looks forward to reconnecting with his staunch UK fanbase.

 

Black Onassis are aware of their unconventional lineup in regards to their live performances. When recording their debut - which mixes psychedelic guitar rock with pulsing electronica - rather than opting for a traditional format with a lead singer, Chris chose to work with guest vocalists, with lines going out to members of The Duke Spirit, M83, The Cooper Temple Clause and more. So to compensate for the fact that they would be touring with no singer, the band teamed up with filmmakers and visual artists to incorporate a huge visual element to the show. Using light and projection, they have crafted a presentation that is tailor-made for each song resulting in an extreme and elaborate visual and sonic environment that floods the senses:

"One thing that’s inspired me a lot to write music is movies, and not just watching them but listening to the music in them as well,” says Karloff. “That’s been a massive influence for me, even back in the Kasabian days. From classic John Williams stuff to Ennio Morricone. I want things to be visually interesting as well as sonically good. The fusion of sight and sound is the perfect marriage in terms of stimulation, and we wanted to put a lot of thought into making it an overall experience for our fans."

To celebrate the announcement of these upcoming shows, Black Onassis are giving away a free download of track ‘Ether’ (feat Morgan Kibby) from their album Desensitized. Get it here - https://soundcloud.com/black-onassis/ether-feat-morgan-kibby

Black Onassis will play the following UK dates:

FEB 21st – London, Koko
FEB 25th – Nottingham, Bodega
FEB 26th – Leicester, Academy 2
FEB 27th – Manchester, Academy 3
FEB 28th – Leeds, Eiger
MARCH 1st – Glasgow, Bar and Fly
