11/11/09 - PUNK SHOW SESSION! NEW SINGLE & TOUR!!

Good morning!

First of all, apologies for the fact that it’s been a while but we’ve had a very busy few weeks indeed. Thanks so much to everyone who’s seen us either in France or on a stage in the UK last week and an extra special oi oi oi! to all our friends at Rebellion Festival. This year at Rebellion was the best for us yet and we were stoked and humbled by the amazing reaction we were lucky enough to receive, we really do appreciate it. Boomtown Fair and Hevy Festival were awesome too, there’s a few photos of the show at Hevy HERE. We still have a bunch of gigs leading up to the Reading and Leeds Festival coming up in the next few weeks so head over to the myspace and check them out.

A few weeks ago we headed over to the Maida Vale Studios to do a session for the Radio One Punk Show. The session is going to be aired tonight at 2am and the show will be able to be streamed from the BBC site for the forthcoming week HERE. It’s the first time we have ever had a string section ever and it’s certainly the first time we’ve ever covered a 70s disco hit so please tune in and let us know what you think. Cheers to Mike Davies and Dave King for making it happen and thanks to the capable stringsmanship of Studt and son!

To follow our veritable rock radio triumph of ‘The Concrete We’re Trapped Within (It’s Yours)’ we’re going to release a new single on September 28th. The second single from City of Thieves will be ‘Back 2 Skool’ and will feature two brand new B-Sides. To support the single we are going to embark on a full UK tour across October with hot new signing’s to Rebel Alliance Recordings The Skints in tow. More details about all this coming very soon!

Finally, we’ve got a few new items of merch in over at the Sonic Boom Six store. First is the much requested revival of the classic Street Fighter II style shirt in a new colour. The geekier amongst you will nod at each other and then go ‘ooh, he’s done that to look like the colours of the Champion Edition of SFII rather than the original’. And you'd be right, but a geek. Also, we’ve got a nice new girls top which is kind of half way between a vest and a t-shirt and sports the old-school grenade logo in pink and yellow which look really rather nice. Come and take a look! Our store is HERE.

 


Ta!

p.s There is a new, quite in-depth interview over at Peppermint Inguana and the site is worth having a look at too. Come and have a ganders HERE.

p.s.s Apologies to leaping onto Asher Baker with my stage antics at Rebellion which equated to a diving headbutt which in turn lead to a sore head for me and battered jaw for him. Rock n Roll though innit.
