Sports Team by Benjamin Eagle
Sports Team are plotting their third Jolly Boys’ Outing.
Sports Team are promising what we can now call their ‘annual’ bus trip to Margate will be ‘bigger, better and boozier’ than before when it’s held this year on July 10th.
Along for the ride are TV Priest, English Teacher, Bull, Wet Leg, Los Bitchos and Courting, with more to be announced, all performing at two venues on the Kent coast.
The band are hoping this will be part of a renewed period of touring as 2021 progresses, their first chance to share debut album Deep Down Happy with a devoted fanbase.
“The album’s opening and closing tracks finish on the age-old promise of fulfillment that is ‘moving to London’, and best represent where Sports Team operate: moving to the capital isn’t everyone’s idea of success, yet is designed to be the most direct route to it,” our review reads.
“But for all their youthful enthusiasm, there’s little naivety on show. Fan favourite Kutcher, whilst successfully conveying the first feelings of unrequited love, perhaps speaks best to an older generation (‘I just wanted to be your mid-00s MTV star’ would surely be meaningless to anyone under 18), and there’s a double nod to Bowie on the itchy Stations To The Cross.”
