The King Blues - Modern Life Has Let Me Down (selected by Kate)



Taken from Long Live The Struggle, (out yesterday!) this single, along with eleven others, is the last we're going to hear of The King Blues after they announced they will be no more following this final record. Having followed the band since their debut full-length album, Under The Fog, it's a shame to see them go - but fortunately I'll have one last chance at Redfest later this month!


The King Blues upcoming tour dates:

  • July 20th-22nd - Redfest 2012 - Redhill, Surrey.
  • August 17th-19th - Summer Sundae Weekender - De Montfort Hall, Leicester

Grizzly Bear began as a home recording project for Boston-bred experimentalist Edward Droste, whose first album gained momentum on New York's underground scene. The band now has four members and 6 albums under their belt. Sleeping Ute is the band's latest single from an as yet untitled brand spanking new album.


Grizzly Bear Tour Dates:

  • 28 Aug The Junction, Cambridge
  • 29 Aug Albert Hall, Nottingham
  • 31-Aug - 2-Sep End Of The Road Festival, Salisbury
