UK rockers MUNROE EFFECT hit the road TODAY for a string of UK dates in support of their 'You Are GoldMouth' EP, released to great critical acclaim late last year!
Dates are:
11 Feb London, Buffalo Bar GOO Nite w/ Kings of Conspiracy
13 Feb Sunderland, The Independent w/SHAPES
14 Feb Derby, The Mist /SHAPES
15 Feb Cardiff, Tabu w/ SHAPES, Whistling Biscuits
18 Feb Birmingham, The Flapper w/SHAPES
19 Feb Portsmouth, Fat Fox w/ Attack! Vipers!, Holdfast, SHAPES
20 Feb Southampton, Hamptons w/ SHAPES + Venice Ahoy!
21 Feb London, Notting Hill Arts Center Big Scary Monsters ROTA Show w/ SHAPES, Tupolev Ghosts
24 Feb London, Dublin Castle w/ MiLLS (ex Cable!) ROCKSOUND Presents
Formed in Portsmouth in 2006, the band quickly found their feet, undertaking early tours with Oceansize and Future of The Left. They consolidated this hectic touring schedule with a true stroke of luck when they entered a Coke/Itunes competition judged by XFM's Eddy Temple-Morris. They saw off 700 other bands to make it into the live performance final at London's ULU.
"We went on to play and lost the Audience Vote to some guys dressed like A Clockwork Orange", laughs Frontman Dan Sutton, "But we still came away with an iPod each and a £1800 Apple laptop. Within a couple of weeks we sold the four iPods on eBay and the laptop to our sound man Phil (who does the sound for The Subways and Babyshambles). We used the money to pay for van insurance and new brakes so we could stay on the road touring."
This kind of pragmatic determination underlines just how serious the Munroe Effect are about taking their music to the masses and have since undertaken tours with The Subways, Reuben, This City and Fighting With Wire.
Equal parts free flowing melody, angular jagged heaviosity and layered soundscape beauty, catch these unique guys at one of their imminent shows!
