After a rather quiet March, April is going to be a busy month for me, with several interesting Norwich gigs.
First up is Fever Fever's "Monster" single launch in the crypt bar at Take 5, Tombland. The single is released by Cherryade Records on 7in vinyl some time in April (although I can't actually find a release date). Hopefully promo CDs will appear on Ebay shortly after as well!
Another record launch occurs the following Friday, with Sennen showcasing their new album, "Age Of Denial", as headliners of a WombatWombat night at Norwich Arts Centre. The album is released through Hungry Audio Records on April 5th.
And the same weekend, the first of three TweeOFF! gig promotions (all at the Arts Centre) is on Sunday 11th, with Tennessee band Royal Bangs topping the bill on the UK leg of a European tour.
April 20th sees London electro-poppers Chew Lips appearing, closely followed by the second TweeOFF! night, with New York duo Shy Child headlining.
Still at the Arts Centre, Sunderland's Futureheads kick off their nationwide tour there on Monday 26th and the next night Times New Viking (from Columbus, Ohio, and nearing the end of an extensive European tour) are the main band at the final TweeOFF! gig of the month. Nice to see a band named after a typeface!
To round off the month, although I haven't got a ticket yet, an appearance by legendary New Order bassist Peter Hook, with "An Evening Of Unknown Pleasures" at the UEA on Friday 30th, sounds interesting. We'll have to see how far finances stretch!
