This one time, we went to St. Louis and played a very short notice gig to 4 people while the world series played on a giant screen next to us because they couldn’t turn it off because St. Louis were in the world series. Sounds pretty bad – but then, while I was uploading videos for another band (The Thlyds, as it happens) this popped up in the related videos bit and you know what, it sounds really good and I think we did a good show for those four people and hey, we played a gig in St. Louis and we’d never done that before. I’m sort of proud of that.

We’re probably going to start asking you to pay us for things in the next few months – I hope the fact that we did a good show next to a sport-filled big screen to four nice people in St. Louis suggests that we’re the kind of band you’ll be willing to support when we do.

We are. It is this:

We gave up acoustic instruments for lent, and can’t remember where we put them, so we are going to be amazing, play new songs loudly and generally melt everyone’s faces off.

I will probably look like this:

ALSO. The New Royal Family are playing and not only are they much much better than the old royal family, they’re so amazing that they don’t even exist anymore. Watch this video and then make sure you arrive early.

Also playing are The Fanclub about whom I Know nothing except that if they don’t have a fanclub called ‘The Band’ then they are missing a trick.

AMERICA.

WE.

ARE.

COMING!

It has been quite something to organise logistically, and we’ve worked with some of the AWESOMEST people just to get this all up and running. HOWEVER. There are still some things we want to do, and we’ll appreciate ANY HELP, as this is our FIRST EVER PROPER US TOUR.

10/2 Austin, TX – Swan Dive
10/3 Dallas, TX – Poor David’s Pub
10/6 Little Rock, AR – Maxine’s
10/13 Cambridge/Boston, MA – the Can Tab
10/14 Providence, RI – Speakaasy @ Local 121
10/16 NYC, NY – Presented by Pianos
10/17 Philadelphia, PA – Tritone
10/19 Dayton, OH – Venue TBA
10/20 Indianapolis, IN – The Melody Inn

10/27 Chicago, IL – Elbo Room
10/28 Chicago, IL – Elbo Room

First off, I (Julia) have no money, as the Tax Man took it all, seriously ALL OF IT, which means hiring Piano Keyboards is going to be tough. IF YOU HAVE A PIANO, and LIVE IN ANY OF THESE PLACES, can I borrow it for a night? I promise to treat it to the finest silks, shower it in autumn kisses, and play it gently and in a completely non-violent way I use a Yamaha P120, which is pretty old and battered, but I like the tone. But anything with a weighted hammer action will do. Of course I’m going to have to hire in some places, but I thought some of you MIGHT be ok with sharing. If you can HELP, PLEASE… MESSAGE/ COMMENT/ TWEET @theindelicates

Second off: IF YOU ARE SKILLED, and in one of the towns we are playing, we might like you for a song or two. In the past we’ve had trumpeters, accordionists, saw players, fiddle players, and generally kiss anyone who wants to play the drums for us. If this is you, and you like us, and you’re interested, we should HOOK UP @theindelicates

SUPER SPECIAL EDTIONS – Last year we had people buying £300 (Approx $479) Super Special Editions of our Songs For Swinging Lovers album. It was so successful we’ve decided to offer it again on this tour. We come to your house/ cafe/ library/ venue/ garden and we play a set for you, of anything you like really (NO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN), we RECORD the performance, and then HAND OVER THE RIGHTS in that recording TO YOU. With a GOddamn CONTRACT and everything. It’s pretty cool, and we love doing it. A few people who’ve bought it have a number of people pay a certain amount, like a gig, and make their money back that way. If you want this, as I know already a number of you do, please look at our TOUR DATES first and see where there are gaps. We should be able to accomodate most of you, and if all goes well we’ll be back next year to accomodate the WEST COAST (and Vegas )

ALSO BE ADVISED THAT WE HAVE TO DRIVE BACK FROM CHICAGO TO bOSTON at the END OF THE TOUR to FLY HOME. so if you want a Super Special Edition AFTER THE TOUR, and ESPECIALLY if you can offer us somewhere to rest our indelicate limbs for the night, and ESPECIALLY if you make awesome FOOD, WE WILL COME. Those who can offer food and bed are MUCH RECQUIRED, and will be REWARDED with exciting things.

YOU HAVE ONE WEEK TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT A SUPER SPECIAL EDITION, because of logistics. @theindelicates on Twitter

AMERICA. CONTACT US. WE ARE HERE. WE ARE READY.

AND, I’M SO GLAD TO SAY, WE’RE COMING

Writing backstage in Magdeburg waiting to go out and play our last show of the tour – wanted to say a big thank you to all of those who’ve put us on, paid us, bought our wares, come to shows or otherwise made this Hunteresque nightmare spiral into insanity bearable. It seems to have gone quite well, really –  so yay. Frohliche Weinachten zu alles.

THE INDELICATES

Am 10. Dezember wird es endlich soweit sein:
Das neue Glanzstück “SONGS FOR SWINGING LOVERS“ der INDELICATES steht iin den Plattenläden. Erscheinen wird das gute Stück auf
SNOWHITE, die unter anderem auch für ihre Arbeit mit Zoot Woman,
Eight Legs, Juniper Leaf und The Sounds bekannt sind.
Als wäre dies nicht schon alles toll genug, sorgten THE INDELICATES zudem auch noch auf den bereits Anfang Juni gespielten Deutschland-Shows für Begeisterungsstürme noch und nöcher.

Vier erfolgreiche Headlinertouren und eine Tour als Art Brut Support in Deutschland und Österreich, sowie Liebeserklärungen der Indie-Größe Eddie Argos (Art Brut), der die INDELICATES über Jahre hinweg zur besten neuen Band des jeweiligen Jahres erklärt, spricht für sich und lässt erahnen, was uns diesen Herbst erwartet.
