The Bar Stool Preachers have announced a string of UK dates this September as they road-test songs from their long-awaited third album.
The Brighton band, who play an infectious mix of ska, streetpunk and rock ‘n’ roll, haven’t been able to tour since March 2020, when the UK went into lockdown.
Now they’re champing at the bit to get back on stage and bring their new songs to an adoring audience.
In the can
They have two excellent albums to their name, 2016’s Blatant Propaganda, and 2018’s Grazie Governo, and, despite a Covid-caused delay, album number three is in the can.
They released the first taste of their new material last year on the Soundtrack To The Apocalypse EP, which features the songs State Of Emergency/When This World Ends.
The two songs are still available to download for free/pay what you want on the band’s website HERE, though collectors might want to get their hands on a stunning 12in picture disc issued by Pirates Press Records.
Now they’re set to unleash more of their new songs, and taking some great support bands with them – Riskee And The Ridicule, Call Me Malcolm and Aerial Salad.
The Preachers will also make their first appearance at the North East Calling punk all-dayer in Newcastle on September 25, with a secret show pencilled in for the following day!
Singer Tom McFaull said: “It’s time to start thinking about the future, and about having a fucking good time again. We’ve put together some incredible line-ups and we’re touring the UK this September!
New songs
“We’ll be releasing new merch, playing new songs, as well as hanging out and making up for lost time.
“With support coming from the legends in Riskee And The Ridicule, Call Me Malcolm and Aerial Salad, you know every night is going to be the party of the year.
“Share this far and wide please! Tell your mates, or better still drag them along for the good feelings you know they need.”
