Hello

Here's the latest news from Smokers HQ.

LAST OF THE SUMMER

On Saturday 27 September, the Last of the Summer festival will be held at the Carling Academy Sheffield. It's an all-dayer featuring 12 acts including us, David Thomas Broughton, Champion Kickboxer, Nat Johnson (with band), The Kabeedies, I Concur, The Yell and more. Full details at www.myspace.com/lastofthesummer

Tickets are available now for £10 advance - and for the first 100 buyers from Jack's Records you not only get entry to the whole 10-hour shindig, but a free CD featuring ten tracks from artists appearing at the festival.

Our contribution to the CD is a brand new, never before released track called Telemark, which we recorded last month. Get your ticket from Jack's, off Division Street, quickly in order to get your hands on this exclusive CD.

YOUTH MAP

You can hear another brand new track on the BBC website for the next week. Steve Lamacq was kind enough to play our new recording of Youth Map on his 6music show last night. He called it 'epic'. To listen, go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00d7dyw and flick to the 2 hour 52 minute mark.

SKETCHPADS

Our most recent single will be available to buy on iTunes on 22 September. Of course, you can still buy it on 7" or digital download from www.theespc.com or most good independent record shops.

That's all for now. We'll have more news in the near future.

Cheers
