Hello Frosties

Wanted to let you know about this :)

The Fierce And The Dead sign to Bad Elephant Music for 2nd Album

"BEM is delighted to announce partnering with The Fierce And The Dead for the production, release and worldwide distribution of the band's second full-length album.

The Fierce And The Dead - guitarists Matt Stevens and Steve Cleaton, bassist and producer Kev Feazey and drummer Stuart Marshall - was originally born out of sonic experimentation when making Matt's second solo album, Ghost, and they've developed into one of the most original bands in the UK rock scene. Their unique brand of instrumental rock music, fusing rock, post-rock, punk and progressive elements, has made a big impression though one full-length album and two EPs, and their incendiary live performances, most recently as part of the Stabbing a Dead Horse tour of the UK with Knifeworld and Trojan Horse.

David Elliott, founder and CEO of Bad Elephant Music said: "We're proper made up to be working with The Fierce And The Dead. They're absolutely our kind of band, and lovely guys too. I'm looking forward to hearing what Matt, Kev, Stuart and Steve are going to produce for us, and of course it will be an absolute monster. Collaborating with a band of TFATD's calibre is a huge honour for us, and we welcome them with open arms to the BEM family."

Matt Stevens, on behalf of The Fierce And The Dead, said: "We are extremely pleased to partner with Bad Elephant on this album, they are true music lovers and believe in supporting the artist. This will allow us to make the music we want to make and have the support to help us gain a wider audience, without in anyway compromising our vision for our new album. And they like a good curry, which is nice."

The as yet untitled album is scheduled for release in the Autumn of 2013."

Quote from: "Pedro"I would fully support a motion to declare everyone over 6 foot a "VIP" and let them sit and watch on comfy chairs in air-conditioned, double glazed, muso-accompanied, private-bar serviced, perfect-mix-from-the-sound-desk comfort.  :D

This!!

Hello Frosties

Hope it's ok to post this here :) I shall be @ Frost Bites :)

UK tour for the band I play in The Fierce And The Dead with Knifeworld and Trojan Horse. Snooker legend and supporter of the bands Steve Davis has even made us a promo video:

STABBING A DEAD HORSE

Knifeworld, The Fierce And The Dead and Trojan Horse are to undertake a three way, week long tour of the UK in late October/Early November. We're proud to say that the tour is sponsored by Prog Magazine, Rock-A-Rolla and Z-Vex Guitar FX.



Expect gnarled Northern experimentalism from Manchester four piece Trojan Horse. Acoustic loop wizard Matt Stevens 'gone electric' delivers angular and epic swathes of post- riffery with The Fierce And The Dead while eight-piece Knifeworld, fronted by Cardiacs and Guapo guitarist Kavus Torabi and including members of Chrome Hoof, deliver dense, soaring, kaleidoscopic prog.

The venue pulled the gig, said it wasn't booked by a promoter that actually worked there!
