Tall Ships Tickets & Tour Dates 2013

Tall Ships have been busy bees recently, releasing their long-awaited debut album (read Stereoboard's review here) and then touring around the UK like there’s no tomorrow. Before their show at the famous Brudenell Social Club (read Stereoboard's live review here) in Leeds, we sat down with drummer Jamie Bush and bassist Matt Parker for a little chat in the snooker room...

It seems like some time since Tall Ships turned up on the scene, but then three years or so is a long time in music. Those who were fortunate enough to encounter the Falmouth trio early on their ascent have been waiting patiently for a full-length album and, last week, 'Everything Touching' delivered in spades. Now, unimportant though it may seem for some, the band is touring the UK and, whisper it, getting big crowds in the like of London’s XOYO and the fabled Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.

To say that it has felt like a long wait for Tall Ships to release their debut full-length would be a bit of an understatement. The Falmouth loop lovers released their first, self-titled, EP back in early 2010, following it up with 'There is Nothing but Chemistry Here' later that same year. Now two years for a proper album may not sound that long, but considering how brilliant both of those EPs were the wait has felt tragically lengthy. Furthermore it has ramped up expectation for 'Everything Touching' to the point that, as it finally sees the light of day, it sees Tall Ships under real pressure to perform.
