The Bluetones + Balter

“The Bluetones are a band tied to their Brit Pop past but with tunes
that begin to transcend it too” – Louder Than War
The Bluetones first came to prominence in 1995, when their debut
release ‘Are You Blue Or Are You Blind’ broke into the Top 40. The
single proved to be the launching pad for a run that saw 14 hit singles
and 6 albums follow on from it.
From thereon, the band, made up of brothers Mark & Scott Morriss
alongside Adam Devlin and Eds Chesters, enjoyed considerable UK
and Ireland successes, extending out across into Europe and Japan,
before taking a hiatus in 2011 that lasted for 4 years.
Since then they have re-established themselves as one of the UK’s
most consistently entertaining live acts, regularly touring their
extensive catalogue to their army of devoted fans.
2024 will see the release of the first new Bluetones material in 14 years,
and promises to be as exciting a year for the group as they’ve ever
enjoyed. A renaissance that will see the four original band members
take in the summer festivals before a full UK tour in
the autumn/winter of 2024.
“The Bluetones run the gamut from classic indie-pop to psychadelictinged
rock with unselfconscious ease” – The Scotsman
Guest support comes from Balter.
