British Sea Power Tickets for UK Tour 2011
British Sea Power are an indie rock band based in Brighton, England, although three of the band come originally from Kendal in Cumbria. Their style ranges from the sweeping, often epic, guitar pop sound to the visceral and angular. Critics have likened their sound to a variety of groups, from The Cure and Joy Division to the Pixies and Arcade Fire. British Sea Power are famed for their live performances and their choice of unusual locations for some of their shows. British Sea Power's members are Yan (Scott Wilkinson; vocals, guitar), Noble (Martin Noble; guitar), Hamilton (Neil Hamilton Wilkinson; bass guitar, vocals, guitar), Wood (Matthew Wood; drums), Phil Sumner (cornet, keyboards) and Abi Fry (viola).
British Sea Power's Yan and Hamilton are brothers and were school friends with Wood in Kendal. They were in a number of bands together while at school, but after finishing his exams Yan moved to study at the University of Reading, where he met guitarist Noble, who was originally from Bury, Greater Manchester. A few years later, Hamilton and Wood joined them and formed a band. They have since been joined by Abi Fry, who plays viola for the band. They played some gigs and produced a 4 track demo in Reading as British Air Powers, before relocating to Brighton in search of a more active music scene. "British Sea Power" was actually the name of one of these demo tracks, and was eventually reworked into "Carrion". Their first single, "Fear of Drowning", was issued in limited numbers on their own Golden Chariot label.
The Decline of British Sea Power, the band 's first album, was released in June 2003 to critical acclaim. A single from the album, "Carrion", became British Sea Power first Top 40 single. The album only charted in the lower reaches of the UK Album Chart but turned out to be a word-of-mouth success, selling well over 60,000 copies in the following two years and allowing them to play sell-out UK tours to audiences of over 1,000 people. The follow-up, Open Season, was released in early April 2005, and also enjoyed wide critical praise. It showcased a more accessible, produced sound and charted at #13 in the UK Albums Chart. The lead single, "It Ended on an Oily Stage", charted at #18 in the UK Singles Chart a week earlier. British Sea Power third album, Do You Like Rock Music? was released on 14 January 2008 in the U.K. and scheduled for release on 12 February 2008 in the U.S. Prior to their tour in support of Do You Like Rock Music? (visiting Ireland, UK, Belgium, Holland, Germany and US), Wood injured his back and had to be temporarily replaced by Tom White of Electric Soft Parade and Brakes fame. On 23 January 2009, British Sea Power announced that they were recording a soundtrack to the documentary Man of Aran. British Sea Power performed it in concert at the British Film Institute in April, and a CD/DVD was released in May. On 7 February 2009, British Sea Power released a new 10-minute track, "The possibility of an island", on myspace. British Sea Power next album was initially expected during 2010. In September, a posting on their blog announced the forthcoming release of a 'Maxi EP' (one featuring 8 songs), entitled "Zeus", in October 2010, with the album release scheduled for January 2011.
British Sea Power has a reputation for elaborate and well-thought out live shows and won the 2004 Time Out Live Band of the Year award. British Sea Power stage is often decorated with foliage and plastic birds and shows generally finish with a semi-improvised song called "Rock in A", which sometimes lasts for over 20 minutes. British Sea Power has built up an eccentric image in interviews and press releases; some of which is based on fact, other times merely whimsical building of outward personas. At the beginning of 2006, it was announced that Eamon had left British Sea Power to concentrate on his own band Brakes . British Sea Power spent part of late 2006 working on new material in Montreal, and is preparing a DVD.
In 2007, American Laundromat Records announced that British Sea Power would record a version of the Pixies' "Caribou" for an album called Dig For Fire - A Tribute To Pixies. In October 2007, British Sea Power toured the east coast of America to showcase their new 5-track EP Krankenhaus?. In November 2007, they toured a variety of unusual locations in the UK including a seaside cafe in Saltdean, East Sussex. Their Krankenhaus? EP was released digitally for purchasable download in October 2007 and was released on CD and vinyl on 20 November. In January 2008, the keyboard and cornet player was admitted to hospital after being knocked unconscious when he attempted a stage dive. The crowd at Leeds Irish Centre failed to catch Phil Sumner, who jumped from a 12-foot PA system landing head first. In spite of this, he returned to the stage with the rest of the band a day later in Kendal. In February 2008, British Sea Power appeared on Later with Jools Holland, playing "Waving Flags", "Canvey Island" and "No Lucifer". They were ably accompanied by a small number of the London Bulgarian Choir and a display of Cumbrian wrestling. British Sea Power also played at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, T in the Park and Bestival in 2008, amongst other festivals.
British Sea Power also played an intimate concert at The Monico Hotel in Canvey Island as a nod to the 5th track on their new album. The performance was featured on BBC2's The Culture Show. British Sea Power played "No Lucifer" on The Late Show with David Letterman on the 12 March 2008, performed and were interviewed on Countryfile, and had a concert filmed for the Canadian music series Beautiful Noise. British Sea Power played a free show in Oklahoma at the First Annual Norman Music Festival on April 26, 2008, and on June 21, 2008, played a concert at the Natural History Museum in London, some of which was filmed. On 22 July 2008, British Sea Power was announced as one of the nominees for the 2008 Mercury Prize. To coincide with the nomination they re-released their song Waving Flags on 8 September 2008, which they also performed at the award ceremony the following day. British Sea Power supported the Manic Street Preachers on their autumn 2010 tour of Britain.
On 14 June 2010 it was announced that British Sea Power would headline the Festival Republic Stage at the 2010 Reading and Leeds Festivals, on 29 and 28 August respectively. On 13 October 2010, British Sea Power announced the title of their forthcoming album Valhalla Dancehall, released in January 2011.
