Pre-order The War Room online!

Dear Listeners,

We’ve delivered the new EP to our online distributors and it has since gone out to all the usual outlets. First out of the traps with a pre-order link is iTunes, and if they take your fancy as a digital retailer, you can now order the EP for the frankly bargain-ous price of £2.49 (UK). Order here!

And here’s the link for the limited edition, heavyweight 12″ vinyl – it also comes with a redeemable code to download the digital version for free! http://publicservicebroadcasting.bandcamp.com/album/the-war-room

Yours non-endorsingly,

You have confounded my expectations once more. Thank you thank you thank you! Spitfire has won the Rebel Playlist and will be on 6 Music all week long across the daytime shows. This is big news for us and we’d like to say an enormous thank you to you all. You are the specials!

Hope to see some of you at The Book Club on Thursday for Screen Social!

Yours lovingly,

PSB on the Rebel Playlist again!

Dear Listeners,

PSB have been nominated for the Rebel Playlist again! Last time we were lucky enough to win, with your help – please click below and send the resultant email (it can be blank, the only thing that matters is the subject line)! You can listen to the other bands here if you so desire:

The exposure from the last Rebel Playlist win, for ROYGBIV, helped us get some great gigs and word of mouth – please help us repeat that miraculous feat and get us played on every daytime show on the 6 Music network.

Together we can rule the world! Or at least possibly win an online radio competition.

Yours competitively,

J. Willgoose, Esq.

Leeds & Bristol, then back again

Dear Listeners,

It’s been quite a week or two at PSB HQ, what with a trip to Italy to play 3 dates and then last Saturday’s rather large live transmission at Village Underground.

Never ones to rest on our laurels, we’re off informing, educating and entertaining around the country this weekend and into next week with the following dates. Come and say hello!

5 May 2012 Live at Leeds @ Milo’s
We’re going to be on fairly late (1am!) at this night in Leeds as part of the Live at Leeds festival – more details here.

6 May 2012 Simple Things Festival, Bristol
We’re going to be on in the dance-y venue but full details are still to come through – for now, check http://www.simplethingsfestival.co.uk/ for more information about the festival / tickets. PSB are expecting to play around 7pm but that could change.

10 May 2012Screen Social, The Book Club, Shoreditch, London
Rounding off this little run of dates nicely is this excellent night next Wednesday at The Book Club. Have a look at the Screen Social website for full listings and information – they do some very cool stuff.

Hope to see some of you at one of the above!

Yours wilfully,

J. Willgoose, Esq.

Village Underground on Saturday!

Dear Listeners,

A quick reminder to alert you to our impending set this Saturday for the good folk at Videocrash at Village Underground.

We’re supporting the quite frankly mighty Hexstatic, alongside Bristol’s finest, DJ Cheeba. We supported Hexstatic at Koko in January and they were quite a spectacle (especially when viewed through the provided 3D glasses) – it should be a really fun night.

More details about the event and, indeed, tickets, can be had here. We should be on around midnight and we have a quite dauntingly long set. Fingers crossed, listeners!

Yours superstitiously,

J. Willgoose, Esq.

Italian Mini-Tour with Michele Alessandrini

Dear Listeners,

Excitement abounds at PSB HQ as I prepare to leap across the Alps (possibly with the aid of an aeroplane) and land in sunny (hopefully!) Italy for a four-day mini-tour.

Wrigglesworth sadly can’t make this trip so I will instead be ably accompanied by all-round top chap and ace drummer Michele Alessandrini, of Italian band Lush Rimbaud.

Dates are as follows:

Thursday 19 April – Bar del Porto, Ancona
Friday 20 April – Ex-fila, Florence
Saturday 21 April – Clandestino, Faenza
Sunday 22 April - TBA

Hope to see you there!

Yours Mediterranean-ly,

J. Willgoose, Esq.

Thanks For Coming!

Dear Listeners,

Thanks to everyone who came (and there were a lot of you, which was also nice!) to last night’s The War Room premiere. We enjoyed (albeit slightly nervously!) playing the new material and it seemed to go down well, so thanks again.

Here are some photos to serve as a memento, or a vicarious PSB visual experience.

Next gig is a very exciting reprise of our turn with Hexstatic in January – this time we’re supporting them at Village Underground on Saturday 28 April. Come along!

You may also notice from the side-bar or live page that PSB are performing in Italy next week. Wrigglesworth sadly can’t be in attendance, so I’m playing with fantastic drummer and all-round good guy Michele from Lush Rimbaud. It’s going to be a lot of fun! I’ve never been to Florence before, very exciting.

Hope to see you all at a live transmission soon.

Yours bronzedly,

J. Willgoose, Esq.
