We have been asked by the stores to pass on the advice that, due to time restrictions, while photographs ARE (of course) allowed, we would all ask that photos are with individual band members rather than attempting to rally the full band for a photo. its not fair on folks further back in the queue, and we’ve been told off before.
thanks for your help.
ALSO… while everyone is welcome to bring whatever to be signed :
1) in the event of signings being extremely busy, the store may prioritise people who have bought the record from that actual store.
2) we would ask (again, due to time constraints) that folks refrain from bringing a bunch of stuff. one or two items is fine.. more than that isn’t fair on folks further back.

SUPERCHARGE! We've been keeping this one under wraps, but now we’re happy to present you with SUPERCHARGE (feat. BIG NARSTIE). We made a start on this one last summer when Narstie came down and laid down some bars on a riff we’d been messing about with. Over time, the track was built with Rou in the producer’s chair (with additional production by our good friend Tim Morris). Then a couple of months ago we had it mixed by Mr David Kosten. And, now, here it is!

As if a new track wasn’t enough, we’re glad to be able to finally announce a UK arena tour for November, followed immediately by big rooms across Europe.

Guests for all the shows are LOWER THAN ATLANTIS, plus ASTROID BOYS.

the guys at the warehouse that ship our merch are moving premises as we speak. they’ve uncovered some stuff of ours we didn’t know was there. for example… a stash of copies of the DVD of 2012’s ‘W6 and NW5’ shows, and the 2015 ‘St Petersburg and Reading Festival’ DVD too. so we’ve set up a little bundle of those for them who missed out first time around (or you can buy em separate, if you already have one or the other).

head over to OUR STORE PAGE(S).

1) a few of the May’s shows are now Sold Out (see tour ads below)

as the Take To The Skies 10th Anniversary Tour kicks off tonight in Pomona, California Rou did a quick interview with the OC Weekly there on the subject of the album and looking backwards (and forwards)

found out last night that completely off their own backs, members of a Shikari fan community on Facebook had made their own plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Take To The Skies, and we couldn’t be prouder of them.

all the details are in the image below.

thanks you guys. x
