Longfellow to release New Single Siamese Lover in 2014

Heroically crestfallen alt-popsters Longfellow put the seal on a grand old year by, well, preparing for 2014. Their ‘Siamese Lover’ single may not be released until January 27th, but Steve Lamacq has already played it on BBC 6 Music after he was impressed by their vibrant set at the Shacklewell Arms recently. Further radio support has followed from Radio 2's Jo Whiley.

2013 has seen our stout-hearted troubadours tickle the public’s underbelly with their self-released 'Gabrielle' single in the summer and be embraced into the bosom of Fierce Panda Management not long after. In late October Longfellow also supported Keane at their anniversary show in Tunbridge Wells Forum.

It all fits, too: if you like your music with an epic overview and a melancholic undercurrent then Longfellow could well be Your New Favourite Band. Five heartbreakers-in-waiting they consist of Owen Lloyd (vocals), Tom Warhurst (drums), James Thomas (electric guitar), Isaac Shiman (bass) and Ali Hetherington (piano / synth). They lurk in South London and create a modest, authentic and soulful mixture of indie and pop, bolstered by fearless melodies and large choruses.

'Siamese Lover' is released on January 27th on Label Fandango / Fierce Panda, thereby joining excellent releases by the likes of Desperate Journalist, Felt Tip, Feldspar, I Am In Love, Machine Room, The Starkins, Habitats and more. Longfellow kick off 2014 with this show here…

Club Fandango & fierce panda present PANDAMONIUM ‘14 @ London Highbury Buffalo Bar Tuesday January 7th - EL BORN + THE TRAPS + LONGFELLOW (onstage 9.00pm) + FELDSPAR. Early furred £4.00 tickets from: www.wegottickets/event/250657

Longfellow acoustic performance on the steps of St Paul's

Longfellow is Owen Lloyd (lead vocals), Tom Warhurst (Drums), James Thomas (Electric Guitar), Isaac Shiman (Bass Guitar) and Ali Hetherington (Piano/synth). They are set to release their heart-stopping single ‘Gabrielle’ on 29th July 2013.

Championed last year by UBR (Emerging Icons), Longfellow went on to play at the London 2012 Olympics and in 2013 have been rapidly gaining new fans supporting To Kill a King, Example and Feeder, whilst lead singer Owen already has a publishing deal with Universal under his belt.

With the sun shining almost relentlessly this week, Longfellow took the streets of London with their photographer Tom Leishman. On the steps of St Paul’s they performed a sterling acoustic rendition of the folky ‘May The Light’, which is the B-side of their debut single release ‘Gabrielle’. Watch the performance here: http://youtu.be/1QsSvi-W-Mc

‘Gabrielle’ is the band’s first single release for 2013 and is the product of many months locked away in a studio recording new material and honing their melancholy but epic sounding songs, which draw on their many folk, pop and indie influences.

You can catch Longfellow live at the Club Fandango night on Thursday 25th July at 229 Club, London.
