The Strides are gearing up to hit the road, bringing Super Custom Limited to a town near you! Don your best 'going out' gear and prepare to get low down and dirty in the company of Britain's premier purveyors of badass jazz funk rock. We'll be hitting Tokyo and the UK so get these dates in your diary and start practicing those moves.

Hi Strides Fans, Just a quick note to keep you up to date on what we're doing at the moment. In recent weeks we've been rehearsing hard, working on the fabled 'new material' that so many bands are into these days. You'll be relieved to hear that it's sounding awesome and we can't wait to get entirely inside the studio to lay down some funkin tunes for you to bug out to.

This is planned to go ahead in the next few weeks and if all goes to plan we'll be taking advantage of this myspace thing to bring you a 'studio diary' of sorts. If I manage to figure out how to work my computer it will feature pics of us horsing around 'in the studio' and funny anecdotes relating the vast amounts of fun and tomfoolery we'll be having, as well as the great music we'll be recording of course. Sounds exciting I'm sure you'll agree.

Once the albums 'in the bag' and 'on wax' we'll be hitting the road to bring you the new tunes up close and personal. Keep your ears peeled. That's all for now. Peace Out.

It was inevitable really, the good word of the Strides has spread to our European brethren. Big Strides 2nd album 'Cry It All Out' is set for release in 2 new European territories, Germany & Austria and Spain & Portugal!

The German release is being put out by the excellent India Records www.india-records.de in January 08, look out for German tour dates soon.

The Spanish release is covered by Pupilo Records and again, the boys are planning to visit the sunny shores as soon as they can.

All this means that people in these areas will no longer have to rely on nasty downloads to listen to their favourite band, they'll be able to buy a real CD! Hooray for progress!
