Lightyears to return to Cape Town
27 January 2010
Our 2010 Cape Town tour kicks off next week. We will be returning to South Africa to headline at the Cape Town Tens Rugby Tournament (sponsored by Castle Lager) at Hamiltons RFC on 6 and 7 February. Last year’s event was an absolute blast and the word on the street is that it’s only gonna get better this time round!

And to those of you in Cape Town right now… looking forward to seeing lots of you there! Woop woop!
A call to arms… help us hit the charts!
11 January 2010
Today, Monday 11 January, marks the date of our first major label release – the song “Come With Me”, which we wrote for the Josh’s Band project. We’re hoping that, with your help, we’ll be able to reach the UK Top 40 Chart on Sunday.
You guys have supported us loyally for years now and we truly appreciate it – a band without a fanbase is, after all, just four blokes sat in a room eating crisps and arguing about whether or not The White Album has too many tracks on it. Both the recording and the video for “Come With Me” actually feature a number of you and so, in a sense, it’s as much your record as it is ours. Now is the time for rallying together and seeing if we can make a dent on the charts!

Last November, Josh’s Band toured five cities – Birmingham, Bristol, London, Edinburgh and Manchester – and the gigs were caught on camera and turned into a series of TV adverts and a music video featuring all 1,107 people who played and/or sang on the track. The shows were unlike anything we’ve ever been a part of and we’d like to thank everybody who came down for helping to create a truly unique musical experience.
You can watch the music video by clicking here or, alternatively, you can catch it on Channel 4 this Friday 15 January between 9pm and 10pm (during Celebrity Big Brother – exact timing T.B.A.).
