Hot on the heels of the release of her critically acclaimed debut album 'Catching A Tiger', Lissie has announced details of her first full headline tour this autumn.

San Francisco band The Fresh & Onlys will release their first UK single - two blasts of wild pop music - 'Impending Doom / Troubling Vision' on limited edition 7" vinyl on 19th July and will play a handful of UK shows this September.
It's big beat, but not as we know it. With pointers ranging from Violent Femmes, 13th Floor Elevators to early 80s British indie-pop and a nod towards the Australian underground scene of the same decade, both tracks highlight the bands abilities in creating pop music that's skewed yet perfect.

Fresh off the back of a well deserved Ivor Novello nomination for his work with his cricket-crazy side project, the Duckworth Lewis Method, The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon will be playing a sold out show at London's sumptuous Somerset House on July 17th ahead of summer festival dates and an extensive UK tour in November.
Hannon's new single 'I Like' is released on August 1st through Divine Comedy Records. The opposite of a soppy, sappy ballad, it's set to the kind of ecstatic motown stomp that makes toe-tapping an inevitability. Surely the feelgood hit of the summer.
