Dave Hause - Heads out on tour with Alkaline Trio

Having wowed crowds all over the UK and Europe with his passionate and uplifting performances on the recent Revival Tour, The Loved Ones vocalist/guitarist Dave Hause stays this side of the Atlantic a little while longer to hit the road with good friends Alkaline Trio.
Playing all over the country as well as two dates in Germany – Hause’s army of followers is set to get even bigger!

Dates are as follows:

November
5 London Barfly
6 Lemon Grove, Exeter
7 Pyramid, Southsea
8 Manchester Academy 2
9 Leadmill, Sheffield
10 Solus, Cardiff
12 Kasbah, Coventry
13 Leeds Met Uni
14 Waterfront, Norwich
15 Electric Ballroom, London
17 Picturehouse, Edinburgh

The dates follow the release of Hause’s debut solo album ‘Resolutions’ that came out on Xtra Mile Recordings in October. Recorded, produced, engineered and mixed by Pete Steinkopf (of The Bouncing Souls). Hause and a group of friends and family he compiled, dubbed The Empty Bottles Band, Hause created a perfectly crafted rock album with no genre restrictions and limitations that showcases his talents for writing catchy songs together with influences from singer/songwriters such as Jenny Lewis and Conor Oberst.

Tracks such as the heartening ‘C’mon Kid’ and the somber ‘Melanin’ take on a new life with the help of Hause’s backing band, while fan favourite ‘Pray For Tucson’ is an acoustic number made even more beautiful with the assistance of a pedal steel guitar.
 
Since Hause started playing solo shows in 2009, he has shared the stage with a variety of artists such as Bob Mould, AFI, Frank Turner, Tim Barry (Avail), Jim Ward (At The Drive-In, Sparta), Tommy Stinson, Franz Nicolay, Chuck Ragan and Brian Fallon from Gaslight Anthem.

Dive Dive - New single 'Liar' & Frank Turner support

New single 'Liar' out 29th November, long-awaited third album early January 2011, digital re-release of back catalogue.

Oxford-based quartet Dive Dive have reconvened in some inexplicable time out from their current job of being Frank Turner's band, dragging singer Jamie Stuart with them. They've also brought back with them their third, self-produced album, 'Potential' which is preceded by the single 'Liar', out 29th November on Xtra Mile Recordings.

'Liar' comes accompanied with a video that atones for the sins of leaving poor Jamie behind and leaving us without a Dive Dive record for so long. Guest starring the ever-present Frank Turner, Juju (of Little Fish) and Jamie Lenman (ex of Reuben), the video sees Tarrant Anderson, Ben Lloyd and Nigel Powell trying out frontmen from The Vocalist Warehouse. In the end, there's only one choice and it certainly isn't the man known for a fondness of folk music and beards.

Now, having had three years with three quarters of the band accompanying folk-rock trailblazer Frank Turner all over the world, their punchy post-hardcore has been refined and fuelled by a renewed desire to play together. As well as the release of 'Potential' next year, both of Dive Dive's previous albums will be available to buy from your favourite digital outlets on 29th November.

Since 2001, Dive Dive have been a growing concern. From their debut in 2005, 'Tilting At Windmills' came a barrage of positive press and fan adulation. The Independent, The Fly, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, BBC, NME and John Peel himself all fawned over their intial burst of high-octane energy. Their second album, 'Revenge of the Mechanical Dog', released in 2007, built upon their scathing riffs and stop-start dynamics.

Tracklisting:
1. Mr 10%
2. The Alarum
3. Damage Control
4. Liar
5. The You In Me
6. Wherewithal
7. Ape Like Me
8. Collapse From The Hurt
9. The Point Is
10. Your Call Is Important
11. Pod People
12. Let's Swap Places
