A message of solidarity for the people of North Carolina

Dear friends,

We will be playing a show tomorrow in Charlotte, and recent events in North Carolina have got us talking a lot as a band the last few days, so we felt compelled to say something in advance to you.

As a band that relishes welcoming everyone to our shows and promoting tolerance, we do want to take a stand with the people of North Carolina who this week are shouting loudly against intolerance, fear and discrimination.

Over the years we’ve looked for ways to contribute to the vitality of local communities and, in that spirit, we’re now creating a charitable fund to support those who have made it their mission to pursue love and justice. We will be donating all of our profits from this show to this new fund. And we will start by making a donation from it to a local LGBTQ organisation.

As always, we will open the doors to our show to anyone who wants to come, and are excited to get down with the people of Charlotte.

South American Tour – In Photos

Last month’s South American leg was a special part of this world tour – not least because the band played their first ever headline show in Mexico City.

To mark the occasion, we had the fantastic Marcus Haney along for the ride to chronicle this stretch. A big thank you to each and every one of you who helped make us feel so welcome…

Heads up, ticket holders for the New Orleans and St. Louis shows – you’re all invited to a pre-show Tailgate Party at your respective venues!

Dates and times for these parties are as follows:

Saturday April 9th – Zephyr Field, New Orleans – 1pm-6pm

Entry for this event is all ages and comes at the very nice price of free, so long as you have a ticket.

Expect DJs, food, drink and cool vibes all around. If you’re of age, feel free to bring your own beer (New Orleans only) or visit the cash bars on-site. Even better, if you’ve got any instruments, we’d love for you to bring them with you to jam.

Parking for the New Orleans tailgate party is available for $15. Please note that tailgaiting will not be permitted in the satellite parking lots.

Tickets for the Zephyr Field show are available here. If you’re looking to attend the Scottrade Center show, we’ve set up a safe and fair ticket exchange using the system Lyte. This ticket exchange is available for all shows on the Arrow Through the Heartland tour.

Catch you there!

An Arrow Through The Heartland Tour – Ticket Exchange

The Arrow Through The Heartland tour is very nearly upon us.

Unfortunately plans can change and we’ve noticed a few fans posting on the forum that they now can’t make it and are looking to exchange tickets.

We want to make sure, if this is the case, that people know where they can go to safely exchange their tickets.

We’ve set up a safe and fair ticket exchange for all of the shows on the upcoming tour here using the system Lyte.

Please be wary of tickets on profiteering secondary sites – especially if they are being sold well above the face value of the show and don’t show you the seat number, row or block. These tickets can be fraudulent and likely sold by scalpers.

Record Store Day 2016: There Will Be Time 7″

Record collectors, we’re so pleased to announce the release of There Will Be Time with Baaba Maal, available on 7″ vinyl on April 16th as part of Record Store Day 2016.

Born out of a London studio session in 2014, There Will Be Time is a collaboration with recent South African tour mates Baaba Maal (and his band) and Johan Hugo of The Very Best, who produced the track.

Those who managed to catch the band during their time in South Africa will have seen them debut There Will Be Time live on stage. After charting at number 1 as a South Africa only release, the single is now making its way overseas.
