The Futureheads Tour Tickets On Sale Now
The Futureheads are one of my favourite British bands of recent years, but one who haven’t really got the recognition they deserve.
Apart from having a top ten hit with a cover of the Kate Bush classic Hounds Of Love in 2005, the Sunderland band have had to make do with being on the fringes of the mainstream.
Their sound and style is definitely alternative, and quite niche, but a pop sensibility runs through everything they do.
Hopefully, with the success of new single The Beginning Of The Twist, and a new album called This Is Not The World, due out in May, the band are about to garner some new fans.
In support of the new album, which they set their own label Nul Records up to distribute after getting dropped by their label in 2006,, the band are going on a UK tour, and tickets have gone on general sale today. Get them from the official site!
The Futureheads will be playing the following venues:
May
23rd - Aberdeen Moshulu
24th - Dundee Fat Sams
25th - Sheffield Leadmill
26th - Manchester Academy 2
28th - Coventry Kasbah
29th - London Electric Ballroom
30th - Southend Chinnerys
June
1st - Cambridge Junction
2nd - Shrewsbury Buttermarket
3rd - Nottingham Rescue Rooms
I already have a ticket for the Manchester show, and will be counting down the days.
Look out in the next few days for a Futureheads contest here on Brit Music Scene, where one lucky reader will win a signed copy of the single, The Beginning Of The Twist!
In the meantime (pun intended), make sure to pick up your gig tickets while they’re still available.
