Tellison can now announce their summer 2012 UK headline tour, the final run of shows of the Wages Of Fear album, with dates running from May 3rd to May 9th.
The London show on the 9th of May will be held at The Relentless Garage with a full bill of brilliant bands including friends Stagecoach and very exciting special guests (as main support) that will be announced at the start of March. The band ALSO play a special one off, HMV Next Big Thing show this evening (Feb 6th) upstairs at The Islington Relentless Garage.
– Support from one of the hottest new bands in the world, LA duo The Bots
– DIY presents London show at The Garage May 8th, with a larger bill including Stagecoach AND Special Guests TBA in March
– NEW single ‘Freud Links The Teeth And The Heart’ released April 30th
– Play a HMV Next Big Thing show this eve (Feb 6th) Upstairs at The Garage in Islington
Tellison will also release a new single, “Freud Links The Teeth And The Heart”, the final release from current critically lauded album “The Wages Of Fear”, which was both a Kerrang! and Rock Sound Magazine album of the year in 2011. The single will be back by 2 brand new, unreleased tracks as B-sides, that provide insight into the writing process that Tellison have embarked on as they are set to return to the studio to work on album number three amidst a busy summer of festivals.
As front-man Stephen (Davidson) explains; “We’re excited to announce we’ll be off on a small, roughly anti-clockwise tour of the UK this May in support of “Freud Links The Teeth And The Heart” the latest single from our second album “The Wages Of Fear”. We’ll be joined on the road by The Bots, an excellent and eye-wateringly youthful two-piece from across the Atlantic. You should come. It’ll be great.”
Tellison are also bringing over one of the most talked about new bands, the amazing The Bots from LA. The Bots are a young (15 and 18) brotherly duo who play a mix of spaced out Americana and scuzzy, US punk, influenced by the likes of The Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Bad Brains and The Talking Heads. With press, industry interest and radio support reaching increasingly high levels (Radio 1 support at Fearne Cotton, Dan Carter, Mike Davies and Zane Lowe, XFM and Kerrang Radio as well as pieces in Wonderland, Kerrang, Juke, The Fly, Narc, Rock Sound, Big Cheese, Total Guitar, Front magazine and more), these will be the first chance to catch them on UK shores. NOT to be missed. The Bots will be main support on all dates apart from London, and their debut EP ‘How To Make Friends’ is released Feb 20th on Vital Records – http://www.thebotsband.com/
