NEWS / AUGUST 2019

There were more cracking gigs in June from us - Crumbs, Curfew and Galaxians, Game Program, Hanibl x Dante in Leeds. We even managed a cheeky mini HerFest event as part of Tramlines Fringe with the good folks of DINA, Kycker and Her Music PR (Venus, Babe Punch and more...)

Fitting that we also proudly signed up officially to the ReBalance initiative championed by the wonderful outgoing CEO of PRS Foundation, Vanessa Reed, to commit to ensuring that 50%+ of artists playing CPWM gigs by 2022 will be female-identifying... and to celebrate we announced The Orielles would be headlining this year’s HerFest at Brudenell Social Club, Leeds 19th October (quick - get your FREE tickets now from Eventbrite!) We’ve also got a bunch of exciting upcoming gigs coming from Witch Fever, Toya Delazy and Dead Naked Hippies.

We also announced we’d temporarily change track from our singles club (don’t worry - it is definitely temporary!) to release a new studio single from this issue’s cover stars The Wedding Present ‘Jump In, The Water’s Fine.’ It landed 2nd August and made it to number 2 in the UK vinyl singles chart (ahead of the brilliant Idles and behind only Blur!) and is available on limited 7”, 10” picture disc (the band’s first in their 30+ years!) and a special Japanese 7” with Japanese spoken word intro from David Gedge. All with stunning Apollo 8 themed images commissioned from Darren Hayman (Hefner)

Our next singles club release comes from the brilliant Uncle Buzzard and Faux Pas, two amazing new bands we’re very excited to be working with too.
