• 25th Aug 2009

London five-piece Exlovers have announced that they will be back on the road in October and November, for a co-headline tour with Kurran And The Wolfnotes. The tour, which begins in Norwich on 21st October and culminates in Cambridge on 6th November, includes a very special Levi's One to Watch show at London's Borderline on 22nd October.

The dates will follow the release of their new 5-track EP 'You Forget So Easily' on 14 September 2009 through Chess Club Records. The EP was recorded with Stephen Street, (The Smiths, Blur, Peter Doherty), who approached the band after seeing them supporting Peter Doherty at Shepherds Bush Empire for an NME Awards show. Recent singles 'Photobooth', and 'Just A Silhouette'
were widely lauded and proved mainstays at radio, with 'Photobooth' being made Steve Lamacq's single of the week on BBC 6Music. Zane Lowe and Huw Stephens have also been giving the band support on Radio 1, and XFM and 6 Music both added Exlovers to their daytime playlists.

The band's relentless touring schedule has seen them complete tours with Emmy The Great, Golden Silvers, Pete And The Pirates and The Cheek (Formally Cheeky Cheeky And The Nosebleeds), as well as NME Awards Shows with Peter Doherty. They are currently in the midst of a summer full of festivals, including performances at Glastonbury, Isle of White and Secret Garden Party. Exlovers have also been added to France's prestigious Inrocks tour, an annual tour showcasing the best in new music, likened to being the NME of
France.
