Hi! I play in a band called Held By Hands, and we are doing a short tour in June. Just after that we are hopefully releasing a 12" EP on Jealous Records. We get compared to Silver Mt Zion, The Microphones and Akron/Family a lot, but I don't know if that's fair really.
There are a couple of songs on here: www.myspace.com/heldbyhands
We should also have 30 or so tour eps with new songs on for June.
These are the dates, we are playing with some really good bands that are worth seeing even if we're not:
14th Carlisle - Brickyard w/Jonquil
15th Newcastle - End Bar w/Beak
16th Liverpool - Korova w/ Pterodactyl
17th London - The Miller
18th Brighton - Engine Rooms
19th Hereford TBC
20th Northampton - The Labour Club w/Jonquil
21st Leeds - Brudenell w/School of Language
We might be adding a few more round either side yet - I'll post them on here if so.
Thanks!
ehem

what on earth is the miller though? i've never heard of it.
Stef Shield Your Eyes is putting it on
It's with (forgot to include this) Wild Dogs in Winter and Laish Quartet.
I don't know where The Miller is though. I usually try to avoid going south of Nottingham if possible.
its near borough tube
its basically a wetherspoons or something
stef.
ace bloke (wore a lovely pair of dungarees last time i saw him...2006?) :) i may try and get to that gig aswell.
Durham!
You totally should; Mr Shipstone alone could fill the Fishtank with admirers...
Do you know Dan Turner?
We used to do a band called Hooray! Say the Roses and played at their house on our last tour! It was dead good.
Yup,
I was there. And I was at the Zaireeka party at Dan's house the year before that, which you were also at...
</stalk>
Hah!
I forgot about that.
I thought it was very good on first play, second, less so. Though maybe it just wasn't lined up as well.
