The Caves On The Way To……

• 16th Mar 2005

The Caves release their debut album 'This way to…' on 11th April through Main Spring records.

The Caves hail from Swansea – that grey urban conurbation immortalised in 1997's Twin Town, the so-called “pretty shitty city” slapped down an hour-and-a-half up the M4 from Wales' border. There's singer/guitarist Dai Godwin, the deliberate, intense one that used to deliver Reader's Wives porn around South Wales from the back of a van. Bassist/vocalist Darren Beale, hair always in his eyes, fingers usually working on a fresh rollie. And drummer/ vocalist Simon Parsons – the missing link between Jarvis Cocker and Keith Moon, with a quip for every occasion. Watching them, you're reminded of a young Supergrass – in the sheer youthful elation they pour into every song, in the way that each member is a crucial third of the whole. Everyone writes songs. Everyone writes lyrics. That's the way it works with The Caves.

The Caves will be on tour in March at the following venues:

Friday 4th – Carmarthan Riverside
Saturday 5th – Blackwood Miners Institute
Friday 18th – Chester Telfords
Thursday 24th – London 93 Feet East
Friday 25th – Porthcawl Pavillion
Sunday 27th – Cwmamman Institute (tbc)
