• 13th Jan 2011

Ahead of their sold out Royal Albert Hall headline on 23rd June, Bright Eyes today announce a string of intimate European dates for next month including London’s The Scala on 14th February, the day the band release their seventh studio album The People’s Key (Polydor). These shows mark the first UK Bright Eyes dates since the summer of 2007 when the band wowed as a twelve-piece dressed in white at Glastonbury and played two nights at Shepherds Bush Empire.

Tickets for the February dates go on general sale this Friday 14th January at 9am priced £17.50 – £18.50. Prior to Friday, fans pre-ordering the album from today at HMV.com will have exclusive access to the ticket pre-sale for all three UK gigs at: link

Since 2006 the once revolving cast of Bright Eyes players has settled around permanent members Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott, with additional musicians joining them in the studio and on tour. Fully realized and bursting with charisma The People’s Key is an assured and accomplished album, artfully arranged and filled with the engaging and mesmeric songwriting for which Oberst is renowed.

Recorded in Omaha, Nebraska, at the band’s own ARC Studios, The People’s Key was produced by Mike Mogis and engineered by Mogis and Andy Lemaster.

Additional Bright Eyes players on The People’s Key: Andy LeMaster, (Now Its Overhead), Matt Maginn (Cursive), Carla Azar (Autolux), Clark Baechle (The Faint), Shane Aspergren (The Berg Sans Nipple), Laura Burhenn (The Mynabirds) and Denny Brewer (Refried Ice Cream).
