SMT PROMOTIONS Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Sunday 3rd October@ SnafuSparrow and the Workshop (plus support)7.30pm 6.00 advance tickets/ 8.00 on the doorTickets available from:One Up Records, TicketwebTICKETLINK: TicketWebSparrow and the Workshop are put simply- an amazing band.They are clearly making music which harks back to another era, yet it never feels dated, leaving it hard to put a finger on what exactly they sound like. What could have been a pastiche of sounds and influences is not, due to certain individual flourishes. With many musicians claiming to be folk-faced these days to jump on the band wagon of Fleet Foxes and co, its refreshing to hear something more authentic and clearly a product of the heart.Recently the band completed support tours with both Idlewild + The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Debut album "Crystals Fall" is out now!MYSPACE:Sparrow and the Workshop on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music DownloadsALBUM REVIEWS:Sparrow and the Workshop - Crystals Fall / Releases / Releases // Drowned In SoundBBC - Music - Review of Sparrow and the Workshop - Crystals Fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgomez Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Cannot wait for this one! Great band, discovered them when they supported Idlewild in the last gig they played at the Warehouse. They were definitely my musical find of the year last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Good band and really nice folks. They deserve an audience.A sort of less dreamy, more folky Mazzy Star if you want a reference point. Jill's voice is sumptuous. She's rather nice aesthetically, too.

jgomez Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Devil Song their 1st single is magnificent.................Yeah, it's awesome, Greg's voice together with Jill's makes me think Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds... which is a good thing!

Also, ordered up tickets for this from ticketweb before One Up started selling 'em, anyone have any idea if you just pick up tickets on the night, or if you can pick them up earlier?

KarmaTsunami Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 So gutted I'm not home in time for this Sparrow and the Workshop were brilliant when I saw them opening for Idlewild last December. I'll listen to their album on the 3rd and be all but then I'll be all because it's a great album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
