| As Slow Club prepare for another fittingly festive concert at the Union Chapel, dropping down our musical chimneys on 14th December is their very own Christmas EP; Christmas Thanks For Nothing is released on Moshi Moshi Records.
Rebecca and Charles take turns recreating two Darlene Love Christmas classics. Charles delivering a stripped down take on All Alone On Christmas – the E Street Band assisted number from Home Alone 2 – while Rebecca unleashes a full throated rendition of the Phil Spector penned Christmas (Please Come Home).
Last year’s free download single Christmas TV proved an unlikely live favourite this summer, and is included here as an added stocking filler, alongside brand new tunes Christmas, Thanks For Nothing and It’s Christmas and You Are Boring Me. All are quintessential Slow Club; bittersweet, humorous and intensely lovable.
Slow Club’s show at the Union Chapel on 17th December, will be the second time the duo have celebrated the festive season in such fashion - having sold out the venue in December last year. They’ve just returned from a lengthy UK tour during which they packed out London’s Scala and thrilled fans by taking to the floor for un-plugged versions of their opening and closing numbers.
Tickets for the Union Chapel are priced £11.50, on sale now and available from: http://www.livenation.co.uk/event/8106/slow-club-tickets
Their debut album Yeah So was recorded almost entirely within the bosom of their hometown Sheffield and garnered outstanding reviews on it’s release this summer – on its way to becoming one of Moshi Moshi’s most successful releases to date.
