The Courteeners
Southampton University
Friday 25 April
The debut offering from The Courteeners, St. Jude, is released on April 7th and is supported by the band’s biggest UK tour to date.
The words “hotly anticipated” are much overused in the music industry but one glance at the forum pages for The Courteeners would justify that term in relation to the band’s debut due on April 7th.
St.Jude, the patron saint of lost causes and the icon that hangs from a chain around singer Liam Fray’s neck, is the first full length missive from a band whose elevation from local heroes to national news has appeared fast tracked to the casual observer.
The Courteeners are a live band, they believe in the power of live music as a world changing prospect and across such tracks as What Took You So Long and Fallowfield Hillbilly praise those who share their vision and berate those determined to relegate music to fashion accessory status. They are most definitely not a haircut band even though they have very good haircuts.
So it stands to reason The Courteeners are well liked on the road, to catch them at Southampton University, call 023 8059 5205 for tickets for a tenner.
