'Weights & Measures' EP track-listing: (The Watch Listen Tell session is up on YouTube here - http://youtu.be/J4EoNZQ0reI) This summer has seen the band play some rapturously received festival gigs on both sides of the Atlantic, highlights being their shows at SxSW in Texas, Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury and most recently End of the Road and Bestival. Additionally, their stealthy progress in London has seen them make significant jumps each time they have played selling out shows at The Lexington, Barfly, The Nest, The Luminaire and Bush Hall along the way, and the band recently supported Bombay Bicycle Club on their UK tour, playing at London's Brixton Academy. Their current full list of U.K. dates is as follows: Dry the River formed in Spring 2009 and have lived together in the same shared house in Stratford, East London since. Citing an esoteric list of influences - Leonard Cohen, At The Drive-In, Neil Young, Arlo Guthrie, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bruce Springsteen and Devendra Banhart – the band draw as much from their shared love of U.S. hardcore as they do from the classic songwriters they all admire. Dry The River are: Peter Liddle (vocals / guitar), Matt Taylor (guitar), Scott Miller (bass), Will Harvey (violin) & Jon Warren (drums). http://www.drytheriver.net
