We're playing Leeds and Reading fests!

Whoop! Whoop!

We've been asked by the rather awesome Huw Stephens and all the guys at BBC Introducing to play their stage at both Leeds and Reading festivals.

As you'd imagine we're really rather happy.

More details to come as soon as we have them. Happy days!

Sobotka

The next new tune is called Sobotka.

If you're a fan of the TV show The Wire you'll know who we're talking about - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sobotka

If you're not a fan of the show then get on it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire_%28TV_series%29 - just got series 2 on DVD if you need a lend.

Futuresound last night

We had our Futuresound gig last night - it was ace. Thank you for the support (especially at 7.30pm on a Tuesday night).

Hopefully we'll have some good news about Leeds/Reading Fests in the next days/weeks.

Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!

* Current set is: Demons & Slaves, Able Archer, Exits Are Blockades, Captors, Oblige, Build Around Me.

Having to drop Decimals, Grandeur and Lucky Jack is a pain.

Across The Tracks

We're on the new Across the Pennines compilation - Across the Tracks Vol. 6.

It features Sir Yes Sir, Pulled Apart By Horses (ace!), Dutch Uncles, Wave Machines, Team Waterpolo, Dinosaur Pile-Up (double ace!), Spodni Pradlo, Mechanical Owl (triple ace!) and Tim and Sam's Tim and the Sam Band as well as our own Lucky Jack remixed by Napoleon IIIrd.

They will are on sale in Piccadily records to in Manchester and will soon be in shops in Leeds, London and Japan!

Future News

Just a quick update from the Concur camp as we've been a little quiet recently (Bear man Tim!) after a crazy March / April.

Our next single on Brew Records is going to be coming out in early October. We'll be touring pretty heavily around that time too. The single's going to be a new version of Oblige which was produced by Tom Woodhead of Forward Russia fame. It'll be backed by Captors. More details to come soon.

In the meantime we're playing the annual Futuresound event at The Cockpit on the 8th July. Please come down and support us as there's a pretty good chance it could lead to us landing a slot at Leeds and Reading Festivals. If you want a ticket drop us a line on MySpace or send us an email to info@concur.co.uk

Oh, and our gig this Friday at the Brudenell has had to be postponed for reasons beyond the venues' control. Come to the gig with You Slut! at the Library, Leeds, instead. Itch and Lizardmen are also raving it up.

Out.

No action for a while...

...Tom Hann's in Canada. B*stard.

Live at Leeds '08

What an amazing day that was. We've just played in front of about 400-500 people at the Cockpit and it was incredible.

Will post some pix and maybe even a video very soon.

Big ups to This Et Al (huge!!), Grammatics, Napoleon IIIrd, Vessels, Mi Mye and Dinosaur Pile-Up who we managed to see and were also superb. Our new label mates Kong apparently went down a storm at The Packhorse too. Good work Brew.
