I Am Kloot

it drives me bonkers, there are so many decent central venues in London, why JHAB why??

Apart from it taking a week to get there, it is actually a really nice venue.

I re-discovered I am Kloot due to Dr. Who!
Christopher Eccleston has been the star of the Proof video! And I LOVE IT!!!!
It always makes me smile.
You have a bad day??? Watch this video!!!

But it takes a week to get there, so you miss the gig

Excellent!
I'd heard of the Christopher Eccleston video but never got round to tracking it down or heard it - wonderful stuff!

fretwell is playing luminaire the same night

I'm going to do Fretwell on the 15th and probably go to Johnny on the Saturday in Oxford*.

*It'll probably take just as long to get to Oxford as it will Putney anyway!

I think that is my new plan too.
Next time, if they would be so kind to have a pint together and sort out their dates so none of them clash, would be lovely.

Saturday December 12 - James - Manchester vs Cancer.

But the pint idea is a good one.

If anyone wants two JHAB tickets for Oxford that night for the price of one, let me know

I Am Kloot are playing Night and Day on the 27th November to celebrate their 18th Birthday.
Night and Day's birthday, not Kloot's....they are old buggers...

and Liam Frost is playing on the saturday night too

That I Am Kloot/John Bramwell play a Valentine's Day gig in Manchester is becoming as nailed on as local authorities running out of grit in a cold snap. This year, it's an I Am Kloot gig at Academy 3 (formerly Hop & Grape).

So, that's Sunday 14th February (for anybody who isn't sure when Valentine's Day is - I had to google it myself) and tickets are available from ticketline etc.

New album 'Sky At Night'

1 Northern Skies
2 To The Brink
3 Fingerprints

5 I Still Do
6 The Moon Is A Blind Eye

7 Proof

I don't understand this decision at all.

Where is Even the stars?!?!
Apparently JHAB was saying they slowed it right down and obviously it didn't make the cut.

Proof - yes, need to have a think about that one. I can understand why they have done it if they're going to release it. Otherwise it's a confusing decision.

London (15th) and Leeds (9th) also announced for June.

Really unusual they're touring before the release of the album.
These are the only 3 dates though, no more to be released.

Saw them on Saturday in Macclesfield, Kloot recorded a cover of an Iggy Pop's 'Nightclubbing' for the Unconvention Factory. It was a day of seminars, workshops and general chats about the future of music and ways in which we can best try and generate awareness and success on a minimal budget using the myriad weird and wonderful tools the modern world has given us. It was a really good day, and I heard some very interesting things.

They also played a set that night, they sounded superb, as always.

Well summer is really festival time and Kloot aren't doing any festivals this year. Hence only 3 gigs at the moment. Summer is not a good time to tour.

Just trawled their website and can't see anything about 'only 3 dates though, no more to be released'.

I bet there'll be a full tour in the autumn. That'll give the album a couple of months to hopefully make an impact* (the 'open letter' on the Kloot home page makes very interesting reading) and then get better ticket sales.

* Remember TSSK was not an instant smash. It grew over a number of months and with Craig and Guy's production on the new Kloot album I bet they're hoping for something similar.

Oh yes I just meant for this round of the tour, not for the rest of the year.
Of course there will be more dates, they're releasing an album!!

Kloot are doing Glastonbury, playing on the Queens Head Stage.

Ah. Sorry. I misunderstood your post.

So they are. I'd forgotten that one but AFAIK that's all they're doing.

The new album is a thing of exquisite beauty.

When I saw the previous message about how good it was I checked my e-mail to see when it was due out and saw 5th July but thought June, i.e. last week! Oh well, more time to enjoy looking forward to it.
