This is our first ever headine tour. We have been gigging ourselves into varying states of injury and illness for years, but never like this. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately depending on how you look at it, we cant afford billboards with our name in neon advertising our appearences, but what we can do is let the people who have seen us before and been into it know that we’re coming to them, or near to them, or to a town where their mate lives and we’d love to see you all there.
Slow Slow Out Now!
Limited edition white vinyl available on pre-order or in store at HMV, Rough Trade or Juno…
However – the vinyls don’t have the remixes on them which are brilliant. These are available to download as an MP3 package from iTunes or Amazon.
We at Sound of Rum firmly believe in the power of recent retro collectible so encourage you to GO INTO HMV and buy the white vinyl then download the remixes. If you go to the London store you will no doubt see Kate Archie and Ferry in varying states of disguise redeeming every HMV gift voucher they’ve have ever received, including ones bought for each other last Christmas.
