Live from the Playlouder singles club

The King pulled off another top gig at the Playlouder singles club on 3rd June - take a look at this photo from the show. The gig was recorded, so maybe good things will happen with the recording in the future. Join the Playlouder singles club - you'll only feel left-out if you don't...

Show at London's Barfly

After the how-the-hell-did-we-get-away-with-that? success of his ICA show the King of Woolworths is going to put us through it again. This time at London's Barfly as part of the Playlouder singles club on June 3rd. Expect the normal shambles as the band attempt to charm their way through an evening that is crashing down around their ears. If you saw them at the ICA you know what to expect. If you didn't pretend you didn't read that last bit.

Remixes

Currently doing the rounds in the clubs are remixes of Evelsong and Delia Derbyshire by Matt Harding and Pedro. Heres what DMC Update magazine had to say - "Matt Harding is responsible for this beautiful remix, that's covered in cobwebbs & dust, but doesn't lose any of it's sparkle. Pete Bellchamber & Cima Cima deliver kinda cute & kinda scarey vocals, a bit like The Children Of The Damned doing Robert Smith impressions, with an angelic southern drawl, while the jingly jangly goes through the distortion pedal. The new King Of Woolworths LP is due, watch this space."

Anna And The King

Half-man half-mac King Of Woolworths (aka Jon Brooks) is to marry his long-time girlfriend Anna at a secret showbiz ceremony somewhere in the Peak district next month. DJing at the reception will be the King's mates Bob and Pete from St Etienne, who will be arguing over who gets to play the Village People montage long into the night.

News on a new album?

The King is currently working like a Victorian chimney sweep, completing tracks for his new album. We hope to get it out in the Autumn and rumour has it there might be a full King Of Woolworths band touring around then. With real instruments and everything. Believe the hype... can't wait!
