Hello everybody
We are pleased to announce after weeks of transatlantic phonecalls (what the fuck is SKYPE anway?), backroom meetings and the exchange of creased envelopes of used cash, we are taking over the Cellar on Oxford for a three night residency, one gig a month, beginning in October and running through to December. We’ve picked the bands for each date and will be spinning some tunes (it’ll mainly be Snow Patrol songs and stuff, you know us too well) on the night after our headline set, so it’s all in. The full lineups and dates are!
(Drumroll, please Shrek)
Thurs 8th October 2009 – The Winchell Riots + Caretaker + Phantom Theory
Saturday 7th November 2009 – The Winchell Riots + From Light to Sound + Hunters
Saturday 5th December 2009 – The Winchell Riots + The Half Rabbits + Sanguine Hum (ex-Joff Winks Band)
We were incredibly fortunate to get all these bands playing with us – they are without doubt a mix of the best local bands around at the moment, with a few out of town-ers in there who we totally love. October will be relentless pummelling from long time friends Caretaker and the awesome Phantom Theory, November will see post-rock brilliance (from) From Light to Sound backed by Cardiff’s very own Hunters (www.myspace.com/wearehunters) and the December show sees The Half Rabbits (you know them already) and Sanguine Hum, who used to be called The Joff Winks Band, who we overheard rehearsing a few months back; they blew our MINDS even through a soundproof door!
All the bands can be found at the following links

Each night will see us (The Winchell Riots) play a headline set that will (hopefully) be different each night, with older songs and brand new songs thrown into the mix – whatever, we plan to mix this shit up ya’ll hear me? On top of this (the details are pretty sketchy at the moment) we’re planning to give away a 1-track CD each night featuring a new song from us in unique packaging, so you can collect all three. There will be something like 25 copies a night for the first people through the door. Ticket details will be announced shortly!
(We’ve also just finalised a very special acoustic Christmas show but we’ll hold off announcing the details of this for the time being because that’s a whole separate thing. Needless to say, we’ll be playing in and around Oxford an awful lot over the next few months, which we are super proud of!)
See you there.
