Broken Family Band: covering the land in 'Leaps' this month
Slow the presses slightly!
News reaches us that Cambridge’s sexiest indie-country-somethingorother act The Broken Family Band are probably coming to a town near you (if you live near the places below) sometime in the next few weeks, as they head out on a brief UK tour in support of really-quite-good recent album Hello Love (reviewed here), and new 7”/download ‘Leaps’.
Them dates:
October
5 Oxford Zodiac
6 Nottingham Rescue Rooms
7 Leeds Faversham
17 London Koko
18 Manchester Academy
19 Newcastle Academy
20 Glasgow King Tut’s
21 Birmingham Glee Club
Support comes from The Clientele.
Say their label, Track and Field:
“'Leaps' is in the key of A, which is a happy chord. It doesn’t go on for very long, and it finishes with a nice bit of jolly “rocking out”, ideal for a disco or family party. According to the group “it’s not very difficult to play”.”

had to pull out of the koko show as they have their own London headline show at Cargo on Oct 10th. so there we go.
Chris T-T and his band and Eef Barzelay will be supporting at Koko, so that's nice.
yes
that's a great line-up...
Now if someone wants to pay me Eurostar...
i'm starting to think
that Hello Love is their greatest achievement. That and making plaid shirts fashionable again.
star spotting fact
i have bumped into steve adams twice in london's swining suburb of N19. he is a nice chap.
