FREE DOWNLOAD!!! On this is fake DIY!!!
OH WORD. OH MY WORD. IT’S WORLD CURRY FESTIVAL IN LEEDS THIS WEEKEND!!!
And to add to all that we have a free download of Club Smith track “Causing Doubt” available on This is Fake DIY, the website behind the label and the magazine “DIY”. It’s pleasing this as I read this website. Now it will be a bit like reading a mirror. For a little while. Weird.
You can get the download by clicking the picture below…
It’s perfect curry eating soundtrack material if you’re in Leeds…
‘B side’ stands for ‘Brill Side’ or ‘Bad Side’?
Hello,
So we’ve finished our festival times now. Our last was Galtres Festival near York. It looked like this:
The organisers and audience did pretty well to battle against an outrageous amount of mud.
Now we’re looking forward to putting a new single out in November…it looks like this:
So we’ll get round to busting out the a-side later on along with some tour dates, but for the time being here is it’s runtish little brother the b-side “Awakening”.

New Video – No Friend of Mine
Well, we’ve been really excited about this for a long while now…here’s the new video for our Single “No Friend of Mine”
I don’t want to say too much about how it was made just yet, but it involved 3 months training 5 days a week, full on ‘method acting’ I suppose. It’s filmed by Grizzly Bros. who are Danny North and Tim Blackwell. Hope you like it.
Worth mentioning we got some amazing support in making this video from York Boxing Club. So huge thanks to everyone there especially Lewis Gell and Pat. Check them out at www.yorkboxingclub.co.uk

Club Smith at some festivals
Holla,
Is that how you spell it? Club Smith are playing some festivals starting next week. AW SWEET! Here they are:
Live at Leeds – Saturday 30th April
This is a festival across the city of Leeds. It’s AWESOME. We play the Faversham at 6pm. Plus two days later there is a Live at Leeds 5 a side tournament which sounds epic. We’re in a team made up of The Faversham promoters and a band called the Officers and All Sorted Records. Nice. We’ll lose. But the gig will be amazing!
Tickets £17.50 from www.liveatleeds.com
Liverpool Sound City – Friday 20th May
Alright Alright calm down. We’re only playing Liverpool’s own city festival. We’re playing The Masque Ink on the Friday. Apparently Peter Hook is a key note speaker for this festival’s conference thing. I once met Peter Hook at a songwriters thing for the BBC. I asked him what his favourite song he’d been involved in writing was, and he said he didn’t know, and I suggested World in Motion, and he didn’t like that. We ended on great terms though, he liked my music.
GREAT STORY.
Tickets and info from www.liverpoolsoundcity.co.uk
Play Fest – Saturday 28th May – Norwich
Well our Norwich gig with the Pigeon Detectives was fairly insane so hoping this is just as good. It’s a new festival in Norwich featuring Futureheads, Frank Turner, Darwin Deez, Little Comets and more. We’re on the main stage at 2pm.
More info and tickets at www.playfest.co.uk
Keighley Rock and Rail – Sunday 12th June
We are pretty excited about this gig. It’s a festival set across a railway route…the vintage one in Haworth. So you can come and have new age fun with a vintage feel! Oh yes. We’re actually playing on a train…a moving train. A moving train, with us playing on it. I have no idea how it will work but it sounds ridiculous and perfect.
Tickets from http://www.rockandrail.co.uk
Kendal Calling – Friday 29th July
Don’t need to say a lot about this apart from…we’re playing the same day as House of Pain. That’s all I need to say. How awesome. We’re playing the Calling out stage, late afternoon time, oh and it won small festival of the year last year. I kept on saying stuff didn’t I. Still typing now in fact.
Awesome lineup and tickets at www.kendalcalling.co.uk
Galtres Feestival, Crayke, York – Sunday 28th August
Woo! A festival near York! Plus the Charlatans are playing too! Sweet!
dog lovers
Ask Vijay what his album of 2010 was and he gets a really serious face and says ‘Lonewolf’ really quickly. I tend to agree that it is well wick and pretty awesome too. So, using the amazing website that is bandcamp I can post the whole album here for you to listen to. If all the people that visit this site went and bought this album we could make Lonewolf a THOUSANDAIRE. Better than donating to PDSA?
I’ve just realised that I can create a wolf theme to this post. What is accepted as the opposite kind of wolf to a lonewolf? A wolf gang? Funny I should say that…to myself, but in public, in a weird way…because the main support in Tuesday’s Club Smith gig where we are first on supporting the Naked and Famous are WOLF GANG. The singer is very smart, check it out…
What a smartly dressed swine. There’s kind of an Adam Ant thing going on in his face for me. Am I being mental?
The thing is, these two artists are wolf related, but they’re not really wolves are they. I could maybe believe it more if they went, perhaps half way, like saying they were “WOLF PEOPLE” or something…
What a shocking link, anyway me, Neil and Vijay went to see Wolf People last week in Leeds and they were awesome. Vijay described them as “Rifftastic”. They truly are…check them out below…
I have now run out of wolf related bands to discuss. Which is probably a good thing as trying to link them was getting embarrassing.
This Sunday – The Chapman Family – Cheap Entry
YOOOOOOOOOO
The Sunshine Underground gigs were pretty smashing. But we don’t stop there…
Tomorrow we play The bizarrely named Northern Monkey, on the Headrow in Leeds. This is our last live gig of the year. We are on at 8.45pm and we’re supporting The Chapman Family…check out their video below…
YOU CAN GET IN FOR £5 INSTEAD OF £7 IF YOU SAY YOU’RE THERE TO SEE CLUB SMITH AT THE DOOR. EASY.
