Little Cub have shared a new track, Death of a Football Manager.
The song is lifted from their debut album, 'Still Life', which is set to arrive on April 28 through Domino. Discussing it, vocalist Dominic Gore said:
“I wanted to write about the tragedy surrounding the death of former Wales manager Gary Speed. I was a big fan of his when I was a kid and his suicide was a massive shock to a lot of people. Not least because it seems so incongruous in the escapism and Sturm and Drang of being a sporting fan for something to happen that is genuinely tragic. I have always been encapsulated by the narratives that surround Football often more than watching the games themselves and particularly now it is possible to have almost 24-hour access to these threads via social media, blogs and news outlets it feels more like a soap opera than ever. I wanted to write a song about Football that wasn't a chant, that was about its meaning to people who are unable to express emotions in any other way.”
The London-based trio will appear the the Stag and Dagger Festival in Glasgow later this month, following which they have lined up a headline show at the Lexington in London on May 9. They will also play The Great Escape, Dot To Dot and Latitude.
Little Cub Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows
Tue May 09 2017 - LONDON Lexington
