The Superlungs UK Tour

We've just got back from our UK Tour, where we've travelled up all the way to Glasgow and right back down to Devon, playing some crazy gigs along the way. We got off to not such a good start, with an unpredicted false start trying to drive our trailer filled with all our gear out the studio gates, and once being on the road getting pulled over for being over weight...the trailer not us. We were beginning to wonder whether this tour would even happen at all, but luckily the rest of our journey was uninterrupted, apart from the horrible weather. (Pic below - The Lads)

Our first gig was at Uckfield’s 'Civic Centre' which was a great place to start the tour, and we all had great fun playing that one. 'Rock in the Bog' was an interesting one though, and it certainly did keep true to its name. It poured with rain the whole time and we had a power cut mid way through our set, which was a bit confusing.

Leicester seemed like a nice place to live, we were staying at Holiday Inn hotels almost the whole tour in identical rooms, so remembering where things happened is a little bit hard. The gig was wicked, we played with some other great bands and it was a really good laugh. Birmingham was cool too, apart from the torrential rain which made it a bit hard setting up our large in your face banner we brought with us, and getting our stuff in through the door, but fortunately our sound was incredible as we had our Producer Dave Garland doing sound for us on Skype over the internet. (Pic below - Beau and Steph, who organsed our gig in Devon).

Newcastle was the first time we had to really explore, and we got to have a wonder round the largest shopping centre in Europe, which we followed with our first ever Acoustic gig which happened to be a Radio show ne1fm, where we had an interview and performance. If that wasn't awesome enough, we also had two gigs playing with a band called 'Our Innocence Lost' who let us play a few gigs with them, Thanks Guys.

SCOTLAND! Finally we were going to be playing our first gig there, which we’d all really been looking forward to. The first hour of our first day couldn't possibly be more stereo typical, with us first walking by someone playing the bagpipes in the street, and then walking into a pub where there were two men in kilts with these large swords there.

Jack didn't make us particularly popular with the locals claiming that Braveheart was on the front of a Scottish pound note, but it didn't stop them being the friendliest people in the world. (Pic below - DEAN! security and driver)

The next day before our gig we decided a go carting competition was in order in which Our driver Dean was sure he lapped everyone twice, but I beg to differ.

The gig was really good fun too in which our support band was Guitar Hero, AWESOME!

They had Guitar Hero projected across a massive screen blasted through speakers at a million Watts, and we all got some good practice in.

Next was the journey of journeys... Glasgow to Devon, in one hit. Ouch. Although I don't know what we're complaining about, since we got to sit in the back the whole time watching The Godfather while Dean did all the driving.

Devon was our last gig and we were playing at a place called The Underground, where we got to use our Record Companies P.A system and it sound bloody amazing. There place we were staying was a really nice place quite secluded with a tennis court which we took full advantage of.

Thanks a lot everyone involved, and everyone who came to watch us.
