Extra Curricular & Doorly present: LAST DAY

Yes y'all

Gonna cut to the chase super-quick on this one....

Our second single 'Last Day' is out now on iTunes, Amazon, Beatport, and whatever other digital retailer you like to use. Just click on the store name :)

Here are a few previews.... There is our original version, a rework by Doorly, two SpectraSoul remixes, and an acoustic version recorded by On't Sofa.

As you can see we've been lucky enough to have some amazing support from the guys at Radio 1... in particular Annie Mac, Toddla T, and Friction... big up to those guys and their producers for playing our music. 

You too can help, by sharing the buy links on FB and Twitter... last time people did this we got to an amazing number 11 in the iTunes electronic charts.

One Love,

JB

Also, special shouts to all the other Huddersfield acts (Apache Tears, Shedmen, and French Soul Party) on the bill who, along with an amazing audience, did the town proud! 

---------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!

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

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. Also included will be an acapella so all you DJs and producers and get your hands on some prime remix material! Check the Soundcloud player below for a preview, and check your favourite digital outlet on Monday to get the full tracks!

YES! Extra Curricular with Professor Green, Reverend and The Makers, DJ Yoda, and Doorly.

Yes y'all,

So we've just about come to after one very fun bank holiday weekend! We played alongside Professor Green, Reverend and The Makers, DJ Yoda, and Doorly at the last ever Afterparty Warehouse Experience at Bates Mill. As you can imagine it was a little bit NUTS!

Pictures speak louder than words and all that, so here are a few of our favourites:

Extra Curricular

Professor Green

Reverend and The Makers

DJ Yoda

Doorly

Big thanks to the Afterparty guys, particularly Doorly and Bongo Dave, for putting together such a unique night!

--------------Music Video--------------

We knew the show would be big, so we also enlisted the help of music video producer AshTV to come down and capture some live footage as part of a music video for, the yet unreleased track, 'Last Day'. See if you can spot him on this picture ;)

We're in Sheffield this weekend (Saturday 12th May) headlining Dada Club on Trippets Lane. If you're from there, live there, or a near there make sure you come through!

Next time I'll be posting our tour dates for summer and our release dates.... hang tight!

One Love,

To BUY TICKETS, all you need to do is head to the official Afterparty WEBSITE

We have also been informed that this will be the LAST EVER Afterparty Warehouse Experience. The night is run by two amazing individuals... Doorly and Bongo Dave. These events take months of planning and, to put it simply, there are not enough hours in the day! Doorly has a ridiculous international touring schedule to maintain and Bongo Dave is soon to be a dad! We're honoured to have been asked to play not one, but TWO times at this incredible event and will be as sad as you are to see it go. So, make sure you're there to witness a little bit of clubbing history... enter the competition, buy some tickets, grab your mates, and get ready for one hectic farewell!

THERE ARE ONLY 200 TICKETS LEFT.... the Warehouse only holds 1500, make sure you're one of the lucky few!

Last Day (acoustic), Behind The Scenes, Free Download

Yes y'all

A couple of weeks later than I promised, but here it is.... an acoustic version of Last Day shot by the On't Sofa team. We're in the process of locking down a release schedule for this track... so watch this space!




Ever wondered what an Extra Curricular rehearsal looks/sounds like? Thabo just bought himself a shiny new camera and has been making some wicked little clips of pretty much everything he sees:



We loved that jam so much that we've decided to turn it into a 'proper' song - keep your ears peeled.

and finally.....

If you haven't already copped our FREE download of You Should Know Me By Now.... you should go and get it right now... from here:

New Track 'Procedure', Upcoming LIVE shows, Progression, Ball-Zee freestyle

Yes y'all,

Let's get straight down to business..... the year is 2012, we're about to go in deep - there's lots we have to keep to ourselves for the minute and, trust me, we hate keeping secrets from you.... but it will all be worth it.... 

First up, here's a new promo video we've made for 2012. It contains video footage from our summer/autumn tour last year along with a brand new track that we road-tested.... it's called 'Procedure' and it's a bit of a banger!

Speaking of live shows, we've got one coming up at the end of the month....

Sunday 26th February - Extra Curricular LIVE @ Hifi Club, Leeds
FREE ENTRY
Doors 10pm
Event page - http://www.facebook.com/events/382171055133232/

If you've never been down to the Hifi Club on a Sunday you need to make sure you get yourself here this time! It's the only place where the end of the weekend doesn't exist and everyone is in party mode. Wicked music until 4am and free entry all night... can't say fairer than that. We're going to be playing some BRAND NEW tracks that we've been working on over winter.

P.S Peep our revamped website at http://www.extracurricularband.com - lots of shiny new pictures and the like.

-------PROGRESSION-------

Jack Flash dropped the Progression album earlier this month.... go cop it HERE

------BALL ZEE ON'T SOFA-------

Ball-Zee dropped an exclusive beatbox freestyle when we went to visit the On't Sofa team. Absolutely sick as usual....



We also performed an exclusive acoustic version of one of our new singles which we will show you next month once it has been edited.

Yes y'all

First up, we'd like to thank everyone who braved the arctic conditions to come vibe with us at the Festival of Light in Huddersfield last weekend. It was humbling to see how many people came to the street party - nice one! Here's a video shot by our good friend Pajama Jama, showing some of the highlights of the evening:



We'd also like to take this opportunity to invite you to our FINAL SHOW of the year....

23rd December @ 1:22 Live, Huddersfield
EXTRA CURRICULAR support from Sons Of Mischief
It's been an absolute rollercoaster of a year: highlights have included mainstage festival slots at Greenbelt, Limetree, and a whole host of other great festivals.... we also absolutely LOVED smashing up Huddersfield's infamous Afterparty Warehouse rave alongside Example, Zane Lowe, Artwork (Magnetic Man), and Doorly!

We'd love for you to join us for one last special show, and because we know it's your support that has got us to where we are now we're going to be GIVING AWAY some of our back catalogue of CDs...

2012 is going to be EPIC, our first full-scale releases are kicking off in the new year and we're excited to be able to share this crazy journey with you.

More details to come soon for this event once they're finalised.... but for now, please share, invite your friends, and gear yourselves up for a serious PARTY! Event page HERE

---------Jack Flash 'Steamrolling'------------

We featured this track from our very own Jack Flash a few months back as an audio track, but here it is now in all it's music video glory...... shot by Paul Cockcroft




----------John Waugh 'Creative Space'---------

Our super-talented sax-man Mr. John Waugh was commissioned to compose an original score to accompany four short films on artists. Here's one of them....
