Release of rare demos EP and Irish live dates announcement
THE BAND HEADLINE CORK OPERA HOUSE ON 3RD AUGUST
AND PLAY ‘ALL TOGETHER NOW’ FESTIVAL ON 4TH AUGUST
Bombay Bicycle Club are excited to share a new EP of rare, early demo recordings in celebration of ten years since the release of their debut album, ‘I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose’, and five new live dates in November where they will perform the album in full.
To coincide with the album’s release ten years ago this month, the seven track EP ‘Demos 2004-2008’ is streaming now, and features material that didn’t originally make the cut for the album. Delving deep into the vaults of archive material, only one of the tracks, ‘Ode To Lucy’, will already be familiar to long-standing fans having featured in a BBC Radio 1 live session back in 2009 on Zane Lowe’s show, whilst some snippets of other EP tracks will be familiar as assorted parts of other songs that did feature on the original record.
It’s an intriguing glimpse of the band finding their feet in their infancy, and signals another timely step in their return to the spotlight after a lengthy period of inactivity.
In further celebration of those ten years, Bombay Bicycle Club will hit the road in the coming weeks to play Cork Opera House on August 3rd and ‘All Together Now’ Festival on August 4th.
Earlier this year, the British four-piece signalled their return to the studio following a four year hiatus with a message to their fans on social media, and announced a slew of live dates.
Bombay Bicycle Club released their fourth album ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’ in February 2014.
It debuted at number 1 in the UK albums chart. Their final live show was the last live performance at London’s Earls Court.
