Bristol's much-loved art rockers The Blue Aeroplanes emerged in 1984 with their debut album Bop Art. They have gone on to release 10 albums to date including the critically-acclaimed Top 40 albums Swagger and Beatsongs, and gigged extensively, including a notable tour with REM. Previous members of the Aeroplanes have gone on to join bands such as Massive Attack, Suede and Primal Scream, and notable guests artists to have contributed to their creative output include such diverse talents as Andy Sheppard and Michael Stipe.
Following some successful dates in June and to coincide with the Cherry Red issue of Beatsongs Deluxe, the band are touring again in December. The New Year will see the release of a new album and a singles compilation. The December dates will concentrate on the bands catalogue of singles, many of which were Singles of The Week in the music press and Independent Chart successes (including the top 10 US dance chart!). There will also be new material and favourites from the bands extensive back catalogue.
The line-up will be Gerard Langley on vocals, John Langley on drums, Mike Youe on guitar, Bec Jevons on guitar, Gerard Starkie on guitar, Chris Sharp on bass and Wojtek Dmochowski on dancing.
