Two-date tour complete

General News

On my personal visit back to the UK I ventured into the public eye for two shows.  Leeds and London, as mentioned below. A short summary as far as I can remember is as follows:

(Brudenell Social Club + (2 x Cheese Savoury Sandwiches) + (2 x pint of booze) / Stack of milk crates) + Neil Turpin = Biggest bruise ever on inside leg just below the knees.

((Lexington + sell-out) / babybel cheeses) + Banana + renewed sense of self = Slow-motion rock cliche.

There are still some A2 size posters available. I will update shortly with a way to order some signed ones, if the desire so approaches you.

Keep your eyes peeled for some movements later this year.

ADDENDUM: I may have turned into one of those guys who in no way acknowledges their support act.

Many thanks to Maggie8 for stepping in to open for the Brudenell show. They have been making ‘Hindi Indie’ for a while. My first chance to hear… find them here: www.maggie8band.com

Big thanks to Geese for Lexington. My new favourite band: geesemusic

Get into this!

To cheer up those post-Christmas blues and the sadness of embarking upon yet another year, I will perk you up with two exclusive performances while I’m back over.

I know what the superstitious of you are all thinking…  It will perhaps be unlucky for some, yes.  As you know, I do ‘divide audiences’. I’ll be as inclusive as I can be.  Don’t worry your little heads.

Back in 2007 David and Katrine went on a tour of the UK, David playing some shows. Much of the time they stayed in nice Bed & Breakfasts, or more often in some promoters spare room or even more often in their actual bed while they took the couch, such is the way…

One stop was Edingborough, in Snotland. In this ancient haunted city, David and Katrine were kindly welcomed by Emily ‘tracer trails’, treated to the frail delights of The Wee Rogue, recieved a CDr of what has now become a favourite record (My Kappa Roots) and all kinds of other things that playing a gig entails… The venue was the Bedlam Theatre, a converted old religious edifice, a great performance space. Katrine sat in the audience and held the microphone. This show was kept on minidisc and only briefly listened to in the years betwixt then and now.

Now, to the amazement of two or three people, the show is available to be heard. In it’s entirety. On Bangstamp, the new user friendly music sharing platform. Sorry, Bandcamp.

So.  The announcement:

The Estate of David Thomas Broughton have gone and done a Brandcamp:

davidthomasbroughton.bandcamp

It will be populated with live shows.

These will be available for download for you to keep. Shut your eyes. And listen.

Lord Don’t Use Cusswords by David Thomas Broughton

Well… so… erm…

Here we are then, a while it has been.

David has been busy away from music although the music is still busy away from David.

Outbreeding has a scheduled release in the USA – on 4th October: With what seem like incredibly decent chaps and chapesses at Paper Garden Records: http://www.papergardenrecords.com/bands/records/david-thomas-broughton

I just wanted to share – as I was perusing the archives during a spare hour clutching my guts and wishing I hadn’t eaten so much the night before – this unreleased EP of music I made at some point over the last few years.

Futile and Precious EP by dtb

It is actually some short pieces prepared using a broke version of Ableton which quits every two or three minutes (so I have to be quick) along with some cuts from the first session at Press Play studios where we just ran through some ideas in one take.

Bon vivre and violet beauregardes to you all.
