Catfish And The Bottlemen will release new single Kathleen on April 14 2014, through Communion/Island Records. The track emerged as Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record In The World this week, and follows the band’s appearance in January on the bill of Radio 1’s Future Festival (alongside the likes of Sampha, Royal Blood, Circa Waves and Lizzo). The new release comes ahead of a string of UK live dates, including London Dingwalls on May 20 2014.

Kathleen is the fourth single release in under 12 months from a band who’ve gathered little dust during their debut year- Catfish broke out in summer of 2013 with a string of Radio 1 championed singles, which laterally drew press praise from the NME, Q Magazine, Timeout and The Independent.  A frenetic summer tour schedule saw the 4 English kids from North Wales perform on the BBC Introducing Stage at this year’s Reading & Leeds Festival (alongside the likes of Denai Moore, Thumpers and JAWS) amidst their UK tour itinerary, which also took in sold-out London shows at The Barfly, Sebright Arms and Borderline.

Tickets for the London Dingwall’s show go on sale Friday 28th February at 9am HERE

Nick Mulvey is pleased to announce details of two new live dates to coincide with the release of his debut album.

Nick, who heads out on a full UK tour in March, now plays London’s Village Underground on the 20th May, and Manchester’s Gorilla venue on the 19th May. The shows follow the release of Nick’s ‘First Mind’ album, out on the 12th May through Fiction Records.

Tickets for the new shows go on sale from Friday 28th February from HERE. Tickets are priced at £10 Manchester, £12 London.

After her sold out show at The Lexington, Rae Morris now announces a headline show at Wilton’s Music Hall on 1st May 2014.
Her unique and grand confidence on the deeply emotional songs that form her forthcoming debut record are based on one particularly significant relationship. They’re about love and loss but don’t take the most obvious approach to those well-trodden subjects.

Her new single ‘Skin’ indicates the baroque nature of her sound with its haunted piano keys, sparse production and heart- rending vocals.
She is that very individual kind of British treasure, a rare creature, inspired by such atypical and prolific artists before her. Put it plainly, there is nobody else in the UK right now who sounds quite like Rae Morris.

We’re very excited to announce that team Communion will be heading over to Austin Texas in March as part of SXSW. Below are the details of our two stages.

On Wednesday 12th March we’ll be at Blackheart with performances from Alex Vargas, Leah Mason, Ásgeir, Bad Suns, Syd Arthur and D.D Dumbo.

Then on Friday 14th March we’ll be at St David’s Church with Bear’s Den, Nick Mulvey, Hozier, Tennis, SAM SMITH and Vance Joy.

Armed with new single ‘For Your Love’ (Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record) Josh Record is to play his second Communion headline show at London’s Scala May 29th.

2014 has started at quite a pace for Josh Record with a support slot with London Grammar in January, selling out his biggest headline show to date at Wiltons in February and a tour with Sam Smith still to come.

Tickets are priced at £10 and go on sale 9am Wednesday 26th Feb HERE

Support at Scala comes from Fyfe and Alex Vargas.

Following a hugely successful run of support slots with Tom Odell, John Newman and Kodaline, James Bay is now set to play a headline show at London’s Dingwalls on May 13th.

Even though to date James has only released one acoustic EP, his debut, ‘The Dark of The Morning’ in July last year, he is fast building a loyal fan base both here and in the US. Testament to his incredible live act, James is currently on his first headline tour of the UK, selling out venues up and down the country including London’s Hoxton Bar and Kitchen.

Hailing from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, James has already received early radio support from BBC Introducing and XFM and has been tipped as One To Watch in 2014 by HMV. ‘The Dark of The Morning’ EP was released by Republic Records and firmly positions James as an extraordinary talent to watch out for.

Pre-sale tickets available on Thursday 20th Feb at 9am HERE.

Tickets go on sale Friday 21st Feb from www.communionmusic.co.uk/live priced at £8.50.

Caveman-­‐a five-­‐man vibe collective from NYC-­‐released their first album in 2011. As first albums go, CoCo Beware was something akin to a moody statement of intent, a blueprint for a band quickly learning how to create horizon-­‐wide rock songs that were equal parts intimate and expansive.

On their self-­‐titled sophomore album Caveman stretch their legs in a number of different, albeit cohesive, directions. While the dreaded second album experience tends to be fraught for many bands, in the case of Caveman it proved to be the opposite. Having ridden a fast-­‐growing wave of support for CoCo Beware-­‐which, after two years of touring, ultimately culminated in a series of big hometown NYC shows-­‐recording a follow up proved to be a genuine good time for the band..

The words “dreamy” and “cinematic” and “vibe” might be some of the most lazily overused descriptors in the music-­‐writers lexicon, but it’s hard to think of another contemporary band that so completely embraces those terms as both an adjective for what they do and as a goal for the art they are trying to make. “A lot people don’t relate to the idea of cinematic music-­‐something that sounds like a film soundtrack-­‐but I love that notion,” says Iwanusa. “I love music that conjures a mood, sets a tone, and inspires a certain kind of visual. I hope people can get that from this record: a sound that accompanies this big ship flying through the trees, this big, crazy light that just fills up the sky.”

Tickets for their headline London show at The Lexington on 20th May are on-sale HERE

Due to huge demand we have upgraded the Chet Faker show on 29th April from Village Underground to KOKO. All tickets purchased for the Village Underground show remain valid for the upgraded KOKO show.

More tickets have been released this morning for the upgraded KOKO show HERE

We’re pleased to announce that Chet Faker will headline Village Underground on 29th April.

In 2011, Nicholas Murphy recorded a cover of No Diggity late one night just for his friends. Shared by a handful of people, the song spread like wildfire until reaching #1 on the indie blog charts Hype Machine, and so the Chet Faker identity was born – a nod to Chet Baker’s singing style but incorporating influences from a youth spent producing house and disco.

Before Chet Faker, Murphy spent his time in suburban Melbourne, Australia. Splitting his musical output between a penchant for soft and soulful singer-songwriter work and an appetite for electronic music production. But it was when he coupled his love of analogue instruments and sounds of early dance music – only this time slowing the tempo – with his natural ability for RnB soaked vocals, that something truly exciting happened.

He soon began recording his debut EP and creating a dynamic Chet Faker live show alternating between solo performances and a 4-piece band, both backed by samples and an electronic soundscape.

Chet went on to sell out two tours across Australia, before heading to the UK to perform at The Great Escape Festival with sold out shows in London. Meanwhile, his debut EP picked up spins from Gilles Petersen, Mary Anne Hobbs, Huw Stephens, Rob da Bank and was featured in Zane Lowe’s ‘Next Hype’ section.

Chet has since returned to Europe and the UK, selling out 14 dates across the continent and the UK and featured at the inaugural Laneway Festival in Detroit in 2013. Plus he supported Bonobo for much of his US tour, and even joined him on stage to sing Bonobo’s First Fires.

Chet Faker is now set to release his debut album Built on Glass. Two years in the making it brings together all his influences from house to RnB and fuses it together with his smokey vocals. Built on Glass will surely further cement Chet Faker as one of the most unique artists of 2014.
