Enter Shikari

VERY SPECIAL INTIMATE SHOW

info@entershikari.com — Wed, 16 May 2012 06:41:29 +0000

As you may or may not know, Tunbridge Wells Forum won the NME ‘Britain’s Best Small Venue’ award. To celebrate that fact, and the fact that they’re good people down there, we’ll be playing a special show there on 5th JUNE 2012.
returning to the Forum for the first time in nearly SEVEN years!

Obviously tickets will be in very short supply… and the only way to get them is by
A) going here : http://www.nme.com/win/1919 and entering the competition.
or
B) scanning the QR code next to the news story IN THIS WEEK’S EDITION OF THE MAGAZINE with a smartphone to unlock access to another competition

[nb: unfortunately, it looks like because of alcohol licensing rules etc, this show has to be 18+ - and will be ID'd on door - so this competition is only open to those folks 18 or over]

good luck guys!

A brief-ish message from Rou

info@entershikari.com — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:56:22 +0000

It started as a little ‘thanks’, it ended as a ramble.
read on…

Two days ago things began as normal.
I pressed snooze a few times, finally woke up, rubbed my eyes, stretched my arms… and checked Facebook/Twitter.
But from then on it got weird. Really weird.
Our bands album ‘A Flash Flood Of Colour’ was at number 1 in the official UK charts.
I waddled confused and still half asleep down the stairs and had a crumpet to ‘celebrate’.
I lie, i ended up having 3.

I’m writing this two days after that rivetingly descriptive morning escapade, on Wednesday 18th, and we’re still topping the charts by a few thousand copies. Madness.

Now i’m not gonna sit here and bark on about how this is…
a) a victory for independent music
b) a victory for meaningful and socially conscious music
c) a victory for guitar/alternative music
…which it is undeniably all three, but it has to be at least mentioned.
It goes without saying, you certainly wouldn’t label the majority of artists normally in the charts any of those descriptions, let alone those that reach number one.

The fact that so many people have bought this record and supported the values behind it is incredible. And we would like to thank every single person that has, from the bottom of our hearts.
I don’t know whether we’ll be holding strong by Sunday when the end of week chart run down happens.
In fact i’m sure Adele or Bruno Mars will have crept back up on us by then and achieve their 50th week at number one or whatever they’re on.
But we’ll have had our nice brisk trot in the limelight, and big up all those that contributed to it.

Rou.
