Future Of The Left - Curses

Cardiff rockers Future of the Left have had to cancel the remainder of their UK tour due to their need to pen a follow up to their 2007 debut album Curses.

In a statement issued today the band stated:

“We are unfortunately having to pull all shows for the foreseeable future. This is because our busy year has meant we have been unable to write the second record and we are increasingly aware of the need to do so. We want to get it out before summer so we can spend next year playing it to people. It is against everything the band stands for to pull shows, or anything that we have already committed to doing, and we apologise to everyone who had bought a ticket or was going to come along. We will be back as soon as we can next year and we promise to make it worth the wait.”

Tonight’s show at Birmingham Rainbow is the first to be affected by the cancellation. The other cancelled shows are:

Saturday 22nd November – London Mean Fiddler (PUSH)

Sunday 23rd November – Castlefield Xscape

Monday 24th November – Newcastle Cluny

Tuesday 25th November – Glasgow Nice & Sleazys

Wednesday 26th November – Hereford Jailhouse

Thursday 27th November – London Amersham Arms

Shows in Australia and China next year are also affected. They are:

Friday 9th January – Melbourne The Corner Hotel

Saturday 10th January – Sydney Annandale Hotel

Sunday 11th January – Brisbane The Zoo

Wednesday 14th January – Beijing Yugong Yishan

Thursday 15th January – Shanghai Zhijiang Dream Factory

Twin Sister – Vampires With Dreaming Kids/Colour Your Life

September 10, 2010

Together, these two EPs make a strong statement for Twin Sister. Their sound is malleable and should mature well as the bands grow in confidence.

Roots Manuva – Duppy Writer

September 9, 2010

These are good earthy versions of some of Roots Manuva’s more esoteric tunes, rooting them in heavy bass and accessible summer vibes.

September 8, 2010

For those of us who always have sunshine in our hearts, Constellations is a perfect injection to get us through the winter.

Pull In Emergency – Pull In Emergency

September 8, 2010

If this really is as good as it gets, then in this case, good is actually just okay – no more, no less.

Zola Jesus – Stridulum II

September 8, 2010

A wholly natural development for Zola Jesus from lo-fi towards a more commercial goth-pop sound.
