Rediscovering their garage band roots, Inspirals will be recording their first material in 15 years. Coupled with injecting a new lease of life into their classic back catalogue, their legendary live shows promise to be a treat for die-hard fans and new found converts alike.Holt formed Inspiral Carpets in 1983 with lead guitarist Graham Lambert and played a pivotal role in delivering 2 classic, genre defining EPs “Planecrash” & “Trainsurfing”. As well as the legendary “Dung 4” 11 song cassette album (8000 copies sold in 1987), which many fans still see as a vital artefact in the history of one of Britain’s most influential band of the 80s and 90s. As the band started to gain critical acclaim, Holt left in 1989, to be replaced by Hingley. The rest as they say is history; with Inspiral Carpets providing the world with 4 chart topping albums, 13 UK Top Forty singles and numerous sold out tours. Now, Inspiral Carpets want to explore their early years, reverting to the original line up of Boon, Gill, Holt, Lambert and Walsh. With a new found vigour and energy, Inspiral Carpets have rediscovered what brought them together in the first place; a desire to play essential, infectious, garage music. Fresh from a massively successful trip to South America (2 gigs in Argentina, 1 in Chile), Inspiral Carpets announce the release of their first new single in 16 years. Recorded in a Manchester studio in October 2011, ‘You’re So Good For Me’ (a brand new composition) backed with a reworking of the band’s classic 1985 garage stomper ‘Head For the Sun’ will be available as a digital download on iTunes via Townsend Records from the 21st November 2011. Support comes from Deadbeat Echoes Please note: This event is for over 14’s only
