WU LYF
WE BROS
NEW SINGLE RELEASED 7TH NOVEMBER 2011 ON LYF RECORDINGS
WU LYF will release a new single ‘We Bros’ on 7th November. The single is a reworked, updated version of the track that appears on the band’s debut album ‘Go Tell Fire To The Mountain’. Built around the anthemic chorus chants of “We bros you lost man / We bros so long / Put away your guns man / And sing this song”, ‘We Bros’ is the track that WU LYF have been closing their live shows with in front of thousands of people over the summer
‘We Bros’ will be available on heavyweight 12” vinyl and digital download and will come backed with remixes from S. Maharba and Young Montana. The vinyl version will feature three tracks on side A and etched artwork on side B.
WU LYF also recently announced an eight date UK headline tour, including a London show at Shepherds Bush Empire on the 26th October. And, following recent sold out shows in New York and LA, the band will return to the USA in November for a twelve date headline tour.
The UK October 2011 tour dates are:
17th The Other Rooms, NEWCASTLE
18th Institute, Temple Rooms, BIRMINGHAM
19th Brudenell Social Club, LEEDS
21st Rescue Rooms , NOTTINGHAM
