Hooton Tennis Club are remembering an ex-flatmate on the lead single from their forthcoming second album ‘Big Box Of Chocolates‘ – watch the video on Live4ever.
“She’d lived in the house for one year and three months,” Ryan Murphy says of the eponymous ‘Katy-Anne Bellis‘. “It’s just a mushy song about moving house and staying in touch.”
Out on October 2nd, the successor to last year’s ‘Highest Point In Cliff Town‘ debut was crafted with producer Edwyn Collins and is out on tour in the UK from next month. “We decided to throw a soiree in the living room of the enchanted ‘Garlic Mansion’ for our song inspired by the wonderful Katy-Anne,” the band continue.
“The house she used to live in – a house of plenty – never a dull moment! People come and people go, and in this house all are celebrated.”
