Fresh from their performances at Londonâs âBritish Summer Timeâ in Hyde Park, The Enemy and The Twang join forces to announce details of a 12 date UK Christmas tour. Kicking off in Bristol on Thursday 4th December, the Midlands boys will finish the tour with what will be THE party of 2014 at Birminghamâs O2 Academy on Saturday 20th December.
After three top 10 albums, of which The Enemyâs debut âWeâll Live and Die in These Townsâ shot straight to #1 in the UK album charts (2007) and numerous chart single successes, The Enemy have ripened into something special. Three young musicians who are in it for their love of music, their latest mini-EP âMagicâ is their first new material in over two years as they head towards releasing album number four later this year.
âThis is the perfect way to round off a great year of touring and a good opportunity for us to prepare for the next chapter of music next yearâ says The Enemyâs Tom Clarke.
The Twang continue their triumphant return to form with their brand new fourth album âNEONTWANGâ which was released earlier this year. The core trio of Phil Etheridge, Saunders and bass player Jon Watkin remain, with the creative additions of drummer Ash Sheehan and new writing partner and guitarist, Jon âSimmoâ Simcox.
âWeâre really looking forward to getting back out on the roadâ says Phil Ettheridge. âPlaying shows is what weâre all aboutâŠâŠ. Itâs gonna be chaos⊠organised chaos!â
Their debut record, âLove It When I Feel Thisâ (2007) clocking in excess of 200,000 sales and hit #3 in the album charts, featured hits âEither Wayâ and âWide Awakeâ. Their second album, âJewellery Quarterâ (2009) delivered fan favourite, âBarney Rubbleâ, and their third â10:20â (2012) was hailed âcareer redemptionâ by the media.
