Following their August appearances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, Paramore are scheduled to play six arena shows in the UK and Ireland in September.
The shows are in support of their 2013 self-titled release and are as follows:
Trevor Bolder: 9 June 1950 – 21 May 2013
On 21st May 2013, legendary rock bassist Mr. Trevor Bolder lost his battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 62.
THE SILVER SEAS – Alaska
The Silver Seas 2010 album ‘Chateau Revenge!’ not only raised the bar in terms of what they were capable as a band, but the release also came with a strong sense of cult adoration, with the UK’s Danny Baker becoming one of the band’s most outspoken supporters. For those who were there, the band’s September 2011 performance in front of a select but fiercely loyal London crowd – just prior to an appearance on the BBC’s prestigious ‘Later…With Jools Holland’- remains something of a watershed moment. Riding the wave further and coming up with an album that was not only equal, but better than ‘Chateau Revenge!’ was always going to be tough. So, like Fleetwood Mac following the hugely palatable ‘Rumours’ with the over indulgent ‘Tusk’, with 2013’s ‘Alaska’, The Silver Seas have wisely chosen not to try and top previous achievements, but instead take a side-step and – at lease on the surface – offer their loyal fans something different. …But fear not, it’s not so different…at least not in a frankly paranoid, coked-out and bonkers ‘Tusk’ sense.
