THE DAYS are currently on tour with a string of support dates with ELLIOT MINOR and a performance at Newquay’s UNLEASHED FESTIVAL alongside the MYSTERY JETS, AUDIO BULLYS and THE ZUTONS. Tickets for the Unleashed Music Festival are available from £29.99 at www.ripcurlboardmasters.com. Tickets for the Elliot Minor dates cost £10.00 and are available from www.seetickets.com . The Days also recently played a date as special guests to SUPERGRASS before they embarked on their successful headline club tour around the UK. THE DAYS are brothers Luke (vocals, keyboards, chief songwriter) and Dan Simpkins (bass), Harry Meads (drums) and Tim Ayers (guitar). Theirs is music that bodies forth images of beaches and blue skies and endless summer days – which is fitting, because that’s precisely the world THE DAYS inhabit. Raised in the idyllic environs of South Devon, the foursome relish the carefree lifestyle that their willing exile from the metropolis affords them. Scratch the surface of THE DAYS’ streamlined pop and you’ll find familiar touchstones: the harmony-laden, West Coast euphoria of The Byrds: Incubus; languid musicianship; and, especially, the agile lyrical voice of Simpkins’ songwriting idol, Ben Folds. In between their live shows, THE DAYS are putting the finishing touches to their debut album, which they recorded at Grouse Lodge in Ireland with John Cornfield (Razorlight, Muse). Debut single “No Ties” will be released in September, further details to come.
