Welsh rockers Stereophonics have announced dates for a November UK arena tour.
Stereophonics released their eighth studio album 'Graffiti On The Train' on March 4th. Seeing a release via Stylus Records, the album was preceded by the release of 'Indian Summer', the second single and third track to be taken from the album.
'Phonics frontman Kelly Jones recently opened up about 'Graffiti on the Train' and how the 2010 death of long-time bandmate Stuart Cable affected it.
“It was only after the fact that I realised a lot of this is about me, and my relationships with Richard and Stuart, the kind of deep, loving relationship that you can have with lifelong friends,” Jones explained. “I think about Stuart every day. I miss him. And maybe in the journey of these characters, I was able to say things that I wouldn’t have admitted to myself. If it comes across as paranoid, vulnerable, I don’t really care, it was absolutely the truest I’ve ever written anything.”
He also talked about his excitement about the record, saying: “The biggest favour I did for myself was just stopping. It was like opening this huge door, where I haven’t got to worry about the radio, or the record company, or whether this means anything to anyone but me. It felt so free. It felt like before we made our first record. I can’t wait for people to hear it. It feels exciting, every day.”
Stereophonics are currently in the middle of their spring UK tour, playing tracks from the new album – as well as a selection of their fan favourites. The band announced the new November tour via their official website, "We are absolutely delighted to announce we’ll be doing a major UK tour in November. The dates are below.
