Hello one and all!
We're still feeling the aftershock of the weekend in Blackpool at Rebellion Festival which was absolutely amazing! Ben C joined us onstage for Babyboom and also came up for his verse on 'Monkey See, Monkey Do' with the Big Boom. It was awesome to see the support for us and all the other great punk bands, roll on next year!
In true Boom style, the road goes on and as of tomorrow we're back on the road until the end of the week, at which point we'll be taking a small break to write new material (at long last!) before getting back into the thick of it (more of which to come!). Facebook events are next to the dates below.
Aug 10, 2010 - Leeds Cockpit FACEBOOK
Aug 11, 2010 - Cambridge Haymakers FACEBOOK
Aug 12, 2010 - Peterborough Club Revolution FACEBOOK
Aug 13, 2010 - Stratford Cox's Yard FACEBOOK
Aug 14, 2010 - Poole Chords FACEBOOK
Aug 15, 2010 - Nottingham The Maze FACEBOOK
The rest of the year is shaping up to be very interesting indeed... after a visit to France to promote the release of 'Rude Awakening' on Paris punk label Guerilla Asso (full dates and news coming very soon) SB6 has been given the opportunity to be a part of the Roots Festival tour in India this October. This will involve spending three weeks travelling the length and breadth of India playing live at music festivals as well as performing educational music workshops with local people between the shows. Even after numerous international tours and shows in many far-flung places, a tour of India is a truly exciting opportunity for SB6. We are told 'The Boom' will be the first or second ever band from the UK to play in certain areas of North East India!
And now we can officially announce some more great news. We've been asked by Less Than Jake to support them and the mighty Zebrahead on their European tour! Due to the Indian tour, we're not going to be on the UK dates but we'll be joining the tour for all their mainland European dates. We've only ever played a couple of dates with Less Than Jake before which were great but, seeing as they were a band that meant so much to Laila and I back in at the turn of the century, doing a tour with them is going to be very special indeed. The dates look a lot like this!
