These New Puritans are keeping active as they await the official release of debut album Beat Pyramid.
The Thames Estuary quartet will play the following dates in the next couple of months, including a stint supporting British Sea Power on their wander ‘round the regions:
January
18 London New Cross Amersham Arms (No Pain in Pop DJ set)
25 London New Cross Amersham Arms
26 Glasgow the Arches *
27 Manchester Academy 2 *
28 Oxford Academy *
29 Brighton Komedia *
31 London Koko *
February
8 Copenhagen TBA
11 London DURRR
12 Manchester TBA
13 York Certificate 18 the Crescent
15 Nottingham TBA
16 London Astoria
19 Dublin Crawdaddy
23 Middlesbrough the Empire
* = w/ British Sea Power
After that, it’s compasses to SXSW - buzz beyond belief? Probable.
Domino will also sponsor a wider re-release of the previously limited ‘Navigate, Navigate’; a 12” so good it can take a quarter of an hour to listen to, soundtrack a catwalk show and still make almost everything else released in the last few years sound stupid. Not only that, but it’s backed by a remix from DFA co-owner Tim Goldsworthy’s the Loving Hand. Get it from the 5th of February, listen to it here.
Even more, in the shape of a brace of Elvis; same single, different formats, alternate b-sides, this video. Full release details below:
Elvis 7"
A 'Elvis'
B 'fff'/'endingEnding'
Elvis CD
'Elvis'
'fff'
'Hyper Favela (Loops Gold song)'
'Rock 'n' Roll, Baby' (Sunni Geini vs. These New Puritans)

york date is at the crescent
navigate is pretty damn good
Nottingham TBA
This is not acceptable.
LEEDS...
...on the 5th March, Upstairs @ the Library.
they're also
supposed to be playing Hull (at the Welly) on the 14th of Feb, a date that's mysteriously absent from both here and their myspace. so either they're ashamed to admit they're visiting hull, or they've bloody gone and bloody cancelled.
why is it
that when these guys re-release something, it's hailed as 'essential.' but when others have done the same nonsense, they are crucified?
don't get me wrong, i dig'm, but you know, double standards & such...
Nottingham Show
is at the Bodega Social Club
Because it was a very limited edition.
500 numbered copies. And because it's better than everything else.
its not on the album either
at least not in it's full unedited glory.
navigate
pretty darn boring and nothing special, isn't it? Just had a listen on that link. If the album is similar then I don't think I'll bother. Shame.
all of these
are essential.
