ME RELEASE LIKE A FOX / ROCK AND ROLL DANDY ON OCTOBER 8th. Music News by Editor - September 6, 20120 ME are back and their rise to rock glory is further evident on this double A-sided single ‘Like a Fox / Rock and Roll Dandy’ due for release on October 8th 2012. The ungooglable Australian ex-pats have already caused a big fuss on the UK live circuit having played over a hundred shows already in 2012 (including London’s 1400 capacity Koko venue four times), touring with the likes of Kasabian, Death From Above 1979, Evanescence and Panic! at the Disco, the latter tour seeing them play to 30,000 people in ten days. Since April ME have appeared on the bill of the legendary Camden Crawl and Brighton’s Great Escape Festival and completed three more successful UK tours with King Charles, The Xcerts and Twin Atlantic. The new double A-side showcases Like a Fox, taken from the band’s Another Story High mini album, which makes an instant impact with its rock hard riff and killer opening line (“Wake up, my dreams were so much harder than yours”). The second track is new song Rock and Roll Dandy, a ridiculously catchy tribute to a gentleman musician who the band toured with in the UK. Singer Luke explains: “This flamboyantly dressed fellow is a true dandy in that he talks lightly of the serious and seriously of the light”. And it’s true that there are echoes of the band themselves in this eccentric dandy who has given himself up to rock and roll. ME have announced that they will be supporting Motion City Soundtrack on the following dates: Sat 15th Sep Glasgow King Tut’s Sun 16th Sep Norwich Waterfront Mon 17th Sep London Heaven Tue 18th Sep Brighton The Haunt Thu 20th Sep Manchester Academy 2 Mon 24th Sep Oxford Academy 2 Tue 25th Sep Leeds Cockpit They will also be playing their first headline tour to support the release, starting with a show at London’s Sebright Arms on Wednesday 3rd October. Full dates will be released shortly. ME are Luke Ferris (voice, guitar, piano), Damian Tapley (lead guitar), Michael Godde (bass) and Spike Rogers (drums) and the quartet have recently finished recording their debut album with renowned producer ‘Barny’ Barnicott (Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Temper Trap) and Grammy winning engineer Ian Dowling. The album is due for release in February 2013. “ME look set to make a big splash…they sound huge, dramatic and unutterably exciting” Kerrang!
