Last Night / New December Dates / Sidewalk EP


a MASSIVE thankyou to everyone who came along to the Halloween Prom last night, a BIGGER thankyou to all those who dressed up, and a SPECIAL thankyou to all those who also penned artwork (see more photos below) for our new Sidewalk EP, due out on monday. The very limited vinyl, including exlusive versions of Hypnotised Terrible Eyes (Baxter Dury Version), Wild Creatures (previously unreleased in the UK), King Kong (demo version) and Surfin' Safari, is exclusively available from Rough Trade, and can be pre-ordered using the following link:

Remember, each and every cover is different, and designed by you, me, them, he, she or someone else. The download version of the EP also includes a remix of Sidewalk, courtesy of Tom Furse (The Horrors).

Those who got a copy of the limited fanzine last night, don't forget to download the free mp3s; Sidewalk (Jerome Watson Remix) and People Are Strange (Bedroom Home Recording).

We can also announce a few new dates in December. We're very excited to play our first ever shows in Norway, playing in Bergen on 9th December and Oslo on 10th, and then return to London to play with the fabulous Goodshoes at ULU on December 12th.

In the meantime we're preparing ourselves for our trip across the pond to play with Echo & The Bunnymen across the east coast of the States in 2 weeks time.

See you soon.

*****NEWS*****ART BY YOU&THEM***


Sidewalk Single 10inch out on 10th November (we hope...)

Our next single will be Sidewalk and it is out on very ltd 10 inch and download.
The release will include a alternate version of Hypnotise Terrible Eyes which we recorded with Baxter Dury in North London a few months back. A song called Wild Creatures and a cover of the Beach Boys Surfin Safari which we recorded up in Battery Studios near Kilburn.
Also a demo of a song called King Kong that we recorded ourselves in Drummers Hill studio in Wales.


Sidewalk Artwork for sleeves needs you....

We are having all the physical copies of the Sidewalk single on a very ltd 10 inch with each sleeve hand drawn. We want you to draw them. We put a photograph up on the blog of you and your sleeve, whoever buys the copy that you drew can see who did it up on the blog....does that make sense? Hope so. We have already had a few done up in Manchester on Sunday and will be taking to the next shows.
If you want to draw one send your address to ellie@fiercepanda.co.uk and we will send you one to draw onto. If you live abroad and not enough time to send email ellie a scanned in version of the drawing (Jpeg will do) and a photo of you with it and Fierce Panda will get it printed directly on to a sleeve here....
