Starting in Portsmouth on April 17th the jaunt also includes dates in Wolverhampton on April 13th and Leeds on April 17th. The hotly-tipped newcomers will wrap up the tour at Village Underground in London on May 27th.
December last year, after playing just three shows at their local pub, The Chapel Club were rumoured to have been signed for, what some people were calling, “comedy sized sums of cash”.
Lead singer Lewis Bowman quashed such rumours explaining that: "The truth is, this whole thing about massive deals is really not true. All this stuff about bags of cash is ridiculous. Our bass player hasn't even got a house. I think yesterday he has £18 in his bank.”
Setting the records straight, and a deal signed with Universal, Bowman is currently rehearsing for their forthcoming tour with his band mates Michael Hibbert (guitar), Liam Arklie (bass), Alex Parry (guitar) and Rich Mitchell (drums) in a practice space underneath a dingy railway arch.
With second single O Maybe I now unleashed (debut single Surfacing came at the end of last year), anyone who is a fan of Interpol, White Lies or Arcade Fire should definitely check out The Chapel Club. Go on! Just think, even if you don’t enjoy it, you’ll be helping their bassist put a roof over his head!
