Saint Etienne have outlined the details of three UK shows to take place in December.
They are at the O2 Ritz in Manchester on December 2nd, London’s Shepherds Bush Empire (9th) and finally the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill On Sea (10th).
The dates are announced soon after the band revealed a new EP led by their Home Counties track Dive will be released digitally on September 8th, featuring new cuts and remixes. “I started writing Dive with Carwyn Ellis in early 2016, we’d worked on my solo album together and were on a bit of a roll,” Sarah Cracknell has said.
“I love the final result, it reminds me of care free summer days growing up in Home Counties Windsor fooling around on the Thames.”
“My favourite song on the Dive EP is Obvious which is about leaving your hometown and boomeranging back later in life. It’s something that didn’t happen to me but so many of my old friends have returned to Windsor or infact never left.”
“I envy the fact that they meet up together in the same pubs we used to hang out in our teens. That would be a welcome treat right now as I’m missing my recently departed friend Mick Bund. This release is dedicated to him.”
