NEW ALBUM SPREADING RUMOURS RELEASING EARLY 2014

As part of their international Seesaw Tour, which is currently touring throughout America, the band will perform for two nights in one city, playing one fully electric set on the first show, followed by another completely acoustic on the second. The London stint – and first international stop – of Grouplove’s Seesaw Tour will take place at The Boston Arms on November 22 (electric) and The Slaughtered Lamb on November 23 (acoustic). Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 20September priced at £12 (subject to per-ticket charge plus order processing fee) from www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk. 

With their new album Spreading Rumours releasing in the UK early next year, the band has revealed the video for new track ‘Ways To Go’ (view below).  

Speaking about the forthcoming UK dates, the band commented – “We are excited to announce that we’ll be back in London for our first international stop on the Seesaw Tour. This is not just a normal tour-- we're spending two nights in each city, playing small and unique venues-- one night heavy, and one night light. This is a chance to see and hang with us an intimate setting with a rock show the first night and a stripped down/acoustic show the second night." 

Having performed at some of the UK’s best loved festivals – including Glastonbury, T in the Park and Reading & Leeds – and selling out their last London show months in advance, the intimate shows mark the band’s first return to the UK following the release of their debut album Never Trust A Happy Song. The album, which has garnered rave reviews since its release, saw the band embark on a run of US festival performances at the likes of Coachella and Bonnaroo as well as sold out headline shows across the world. 

With their second studio album Spreading Rumours (produced by the band’s drummer Ryan Rabin) releasing in the US today through Canvasback/Atlantic Records and with an early 2014 UK release, fans will pleased to see the band back with their trademark glistening, synth-led, dreamy anthems.  Grouplove’s latest single ‘Ways To Go’ charted at #4 on the US Alternative Songs chart upon its release last month and the official video has now had over  1.9 million views! 

Since forming in 2009, Grouplove have quickly become one of music’s most exhilarating young acts.  The band’s debut album Never Trust A Happy Song released to acclaim in 2011, and for the past two years, they’ve been performing to sell-out crowds around the world. Their debut single ‘Colours’ set the mark for their energetic performances and dynamic sound and the infectious follow-up single‘Tongue Tied’ soared to #1 in the US and became the soundtrack to the global TV ad campaigns for Coca-Cola and iPod Touch. The song has now sold over 1 million copies in the US alone. 

Grouplove is:  Christian Zucconi (vocals, guitar), Hannah Hooper (vocals, keys), Sean Gadd (bass, vocals), Andrew Wessen (guitar, vocals), Ryan Rabin (drums).
