The Leisure Society announce single and tour

16 September 2009
By Helen True

Soaring wonder-boats of folksome sounds The Leisure Society have announced the release of their new single ‘Save It For Someone Who Cares’ on the 28th of September.  This track, inspired by an unsatisfactory experience in the Union Chapel, is a melodic little blinder, and will feature in set lists on the band’s forthcoming tour, the dates of which are:

19th September – Exeter Festival
21st September – Duke of Yorks, Brighton
23rd September – The Stables, Milton Keynes               
24th October – Swn Festival, Cardiff
25th October – Canterbury Festival

The single is a taster of a spanking new 8 track EP, which has been dubbed A Product of the Ego Drain.  It will come as part of a set with the re-release of The Sleeper on the 5th of October.  This album is deeply incredible, so the prospect of it developing a tuneful Siamese twin fills us with excitement.  And so should it you.
