Cambridge rockers Lonely The Brave play King Tuts on Sunday January 26 The skies are grey, the streets are damp, but for rockers Lonely The Brave their tour is just heating up. Within an incredibly short time this five-piece rock band from Cambridge have performed live on the Radio 1 Rock Show, smashed sell-out gigs and toured with the likes of Deftones and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. That's not to mention a multitude of plaudits including In The City's prestigious songwriter's award and nods from the likes of Rock Sound, NME, The Huffington Post, The Telegraph and Kerrang! After a grueling month playing gigs around Europe, Lonely The Brave are set to dazzle the King Tut's crowd tonight on the first date of their UK tour. The band members are David Jakes (vocals), Mark Trotter (guitar), Joel Mason (guitar), Andrew Bushen (bass) and Gavin Edgeley (drums) - and they're coming for you Glasgow. In the past year the band have spent their days perfecting a debut album The Day's War following their signage to Hassle Records - the same label who signed City And Colour. From this album comes the glorious single Trick of the Light, a track guaranteed to lift your spirits and make you want to dance. 2013 also saw a knock-out performance from the lads at Donnington's Download Festival which guaranteed them a spot on the 2014 line up. In addition to the festival spot, the band have announced their support of New York rockers Taking Back Sunday in London on February 26. Earlier this week we caught up with guitarist Mark to find out more about the recent tour. How does it feel to play your first headline show? We are really excited to be heading out on our first UK headline tour. It's a milestone for us and something that we have been working towards for a long time. We really can't wait to get out there and play. Are you excited to play an iconic venue like King Tut's? You know what, I have grown up knowing King Tut's by name. Just to think how many incredible bands have been there before is something special. It really is a rite of passage. We can't wait. It will be a special moment for us. How has the European side of the tour gone? The European tour was great fun and the shows went down really well. Some great people and great venues, they were even really supportive when I fell through all of our gear - twice! Sorry "bout that... Are you happy to be playing somewhere slightly closer to home? We just want to play to as many different people in as many different places as possible. We are lucky to be able to do what we do. How do you find the Glasgow audiences? We've played Glasgow a few times and it has always been a great night. The common theme has always been crowds who are just really into their music and are up for a good night - that works for us. Can you tell us a bit about your sound? We have never had an agenda with this band. We have never sat down and discussed how we want to sound. The music we play is a culmination of all of us and our individual experiences. What are your plans after the tour? After the tour we plan to tour even more. We have a busy festival season this year and also our debut album, The Days' War will be out in the first half of this year so we are really excited for people to hear it. It's going to be a busy time. Are you going to see the Cambridge lads at Tut's tonight? Tweet us your photos to @STVGlasgow.
