Slow readers speed up with James tour

Slow Readers Club

CITY indie-electronica outfit The Slow Readers Club are currently support the mighty James on 12 dates of the 'Girl At The End Of The World tour' including a show at the Manchester Arena this Friday.

With an anthemic electronic sound perfectly suited to the big halls of the country that they will be visiting on this tour with one of my all-time favourite bands, James, the Slow Readers Club have been hitting venues such as the Brixton Academy, Shepherds Bush Empire, Newcastle City Hall and Bristol Colston Hall among others.

The band will be playing to thousands of new fans before embarking on recording their third album.

A Manchester-based four piece who specialise in dark and brooding indie electro, TSRC's music has drawn comparisons with Interpol, The Killers and The National.

Since the release of their second album Cavalcade the band have been building an impressive following (selling out Manchester Gorilla, St Philips Church and The Workman's Club Dublin weeks in advance).

But things may be about to go to the next level as the band hit the road with James at the personal request of Jim Glennie and Saul Davies, who have been championing the band in interviews.

The Slow Readers Club are Aaron Starkie on vocals, Kurtis Starkie on guitar and backing vocals, Jim Ryan on bass and David Whitworth on drums.
