The history and legacy of Camden Dingwalls simply cannot be overstated, with the likes of The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Strokes, The Foo Fighters, Blur, Oasis and Pulp all performing there over the years, and the band feel suitably privileged to have been invited to play this most iconic of venues, as Millie explains:

 

Dingwalls is a legendary venue, and to be playing a show there with the backing of a set of incredible musicians is such an honour. The reaction to the new album has been nothing short of overwhelming and we are beyond excited to bring those songs to the stage.”

 

Wake Up, Shut Up, Work followed the band’s highly praised Telling Truths, Breaking Ties album debut, and was released earlier this month on CD, vinyl and on all major streaming and download platforms to unanimous and widespread acclaim:
