Best Of Shepherd's Bush Empire, Movember, New CD, Last Shows of 2012

Yes y'all,

Been so busy recently, I've barely found time to get a post together! If you follow us on Facebook or Twitter you'll know why ;)

-------Best Of Shepherd's Bush Empire-------

A few weeks ago we got one of the best phonecalls ever.... The legendary Tower Of Power wanted us to support them at London's prestigious Shepherd's Bush Empire. Needless to say we said 'YES' and loaded our van up for the trip from Leeds to London. It ended up looking a bit like this....

We'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to Tower Of Power (especially for the shout outs!), all the staff at Shepherd's Bush Empire, and everyone who came through and rocked with us from the first song for an incredible evening. It was the best show of our lives.... so far! ;)

-------MOVEMBER-------

Although we didn't grow facial hair this year, we did our bit for Movember by playing a charity show at Holmfirth Picturedrome. Last we heard £2000 was raised for charity... nice one!

--------NEW CD--------

Pigeonhole This! have very kindly allowed us to produce a VERY limited run of CD's that contain our 2012 singles 'Last Day' and 'Won't Stay Down' including the awesome remixes by Doorly and SpectraSoul. These are only going to be available at LIVE shows, so make sure you try and come see us before they all go!

P.S we're working on the follow up to this right now! ;)

Yes y'all

We've got one of our biggest festival slots to date coming up this weekend.... we've been asked by Brownstock festival to play on the main stage just before Labrinth, their Saturday night headliner. As you can see from the picture below the rest of the festival features big name acts such as Nero, Zane Lowe, Grandmaster Flash, and The Futureheads.

We're obviously honoured to be asked to perform and will do our best to hype the crowd for the man with the "Earthquake".

-------WON'T STAY DOWN--------

When we first dropped Won't Stay Down on Pigeonhole This! it was described like this.....

DJ Magazine "...epic, life-affirming bass music..."

Flavour Magazine "Beautifully dirty!"

Zane Lowe

Example

After this.... it went to number 11 in the iTunes Electronic chart....

To celebrate our upcoming show at Brownstock we've decided to upload the track IN FULL to our Soundcloud account. Have a listen...

If you like it, please help support the band by purchasing it from iTunes, or Amazon

Last thing.... if you're in the London area this weekend, but are not going to Brownstock we are also playing at the Jamm in Brixton this FRIDAY. Event page HERE

One Love,

---------LAST DAY FIRST RADIO 1 PLAY--------

On monday night, DJ Friction played a remix of our track Last Day on his show... and made it his remix of the week! It was remixed by the super-talented SpectraSoul. We're hyped to see how this track does over summer as the initial response has been amazing! Listen again below.... from 31mins in!

And finally... our first single Won't Stay Down is out on Monday. It's being released on Doorly's 'Pigeonhole This!' label and he's also done the craziest DnB mix as part of the package.
