Hey Sholay have announced that they are to embark on another tour of the UK, this time supporting Fierce Panda label-mates and co-habitants of Sheffield, The Crookes. The tour will take place in November and will coincide with the release of the rather special version of their acclaimed debut album ((O)) on the 12th. Hey Sholay don’t do things by halves. Their current merchandise consists of 3D t-shirts (complete with 3D glasses) and records made from actual X-Ray acetates – so this version of the album is bound to be something a wee bit out of the ordinary. The special edition album will also come with bonus tracks.
The video for most recent single, ‘My Blood’ was filmed by the band in 2 weeks in 200 locations, then put together by Bobby Neissier and Simon & Robin Philpot.
Tour dates are as follows:
Oct 19 – Swn Festival, Cardiff
Oct 20 – Gathering Festival, Oxford (SOLD OUT)
