Really great to announce some big shows happening this summer - we're playing with Red Hot Chili Peppers at Knebworth Park on 23rd June and at The Stadium Of Light on 24th June. These will be some of the biggest crowds of the summer, and ones we're really excited about. More info and tickets HERE
For the new Reverend And The Makers video 'Bassline' we're asking the fans to star in and direct the video itself. We are asking you to film yourselves on your camera phones getting ready to go out, on the bus on the way out and out clubbing. We're also asking you lucky ones at the Noel Gallagher O2 Arena show to film yourselves at the gig, film Reverend And The Makers and Jon will film you.
Now then,
So 'Bassline'… A freebie… A gift 'cos were r8 sound n' all.
In truth, this was a song that started life in a side project I was doing in the two years I've spent dodging the Makers!
I thought it was too hard, too synthesiser and noisy guitars to be a Makers song. But as the album progressed I thought why not. It kinda fits with where the album's gone. It's on the front foot but I like that - and it's up - which pretty much sums up the album and where our heads are at right now.
The album is almost done. It sounds amazing. It's a load of songs about little situations I see living in Sheffield in 2012 and it's gonna be called @Reverend_Makers.
Why? Well the songs are all about things that happen in the now. Nothing seems to sum up the present and the times we live in more than the @ symbol. And well, it's more exciting than Reverend and the Makers by Reverend and the Makers innit? We were gonna call it Out The Shadows after one of the songs and then quickly realised it sounded a bit like 'Bouncing Back' by Partridge and promptly changed our mind!!!
Anyhow… hope u enjoy 'Bassline' and we'll see you on tour real soon.
