Bangers / The State Lottery / El Morgan UK Tour

Bangers are off on tour again tomorrow, this time for 2 weeks around the UK with The State Lottery and El Morgan. Going to be a lot of fun.

Here's where we're going....

MON 4TH JUL - THE CRICKETERS, KINGSTON

TUE 5TH JUL - PORTLAND ARMS, CAMBRIDGE

THU 14TH JUL - CAVERN, EXETER

SAT 16TH JUL - OUT OF SPITE FEST at THE WELL, LEEDS (not with The State Lottery, but with loads of awesome bands!)

The online shop will be a little diminished and orders will take a little longer while I'm away. We're down to under 30 copies of the Small Pleasures LP so these shows will probably be your last chance to get copies of the first pressing (in the UK at least) and I'll be taking the distro stock on tour too. All the Caves preorders should be sent out as soon as I'm back.

CAVES - Homeward Bound CD / LP Pre-order

12 brand new tracks of raw, catchy and honest punk rock from Bristol's Caves. This record sees the band taking the best elements of their previous work and pushing their boundaries to create their rawest, noisiest, catchiest and most tuneful tracks to date.

Listen to a couple of tracks from it here...

The CD officially comes out on the 1st August but we've just started taking preorders and we're lucky enough to be getting in a bunch of copies of the vinyl LP from Yo Yo Records in Germany. All orders should be sent out mid July.

As usual we'll be doing a shirt deal and you'll get an instant download link when you order.
