Chart topping Indie Pop act Scouting For Girls announce another headlining tour, visiting Plymouth Pavilions on Sunday 2 November 2008.
It is little over a year since Scouting For Girls singed their first recording contract with Epic UK and already the West-London trio of Roy Stride, Greg Churchouse and Peter Ellard have sold enough copies of their self titled debut album to reach number 1 and achieve platinum status.
The first taster to their wider audience was the release of the ‘It’s Not About You’ EP in June 2007. It became the first limited edition EP to chart in UK history. The following September Scouting For Girls released their first single, ‘She’s So Lovely’ which peaked at number 7, and spent an amazing six weeks in the UK Top 10. The foundations were set, the radio stations tuned in and Britain was (literally) waking up to Scouting For Girls as the new British indie-pop sensations.
Band member Roy said: “To be honest, we’re all still pinching ourselves. It has been a real whirlwind already, but we were always going to do this.”
Undoubtedly Roy’s ear for a buoyant melody and inescapable chorus hook has offered them the lion share of success, but his unique take on life which is reflected in the lyrics is forever captivating.
The warmth, wit and healthy dose of bittersweet nostalgia makes an individual stand for the young at heart. Using unforgettable melodies and weaving lyricism, they chronicle lost youth and broken hearts.
With highly effervescent performances of their light hearted, joyful pop, Scouting For Girls will definitely be the ones to watch this November.
Press & Promotions Officer at Plymouth Pavilions, Robert Maltby said: “Following a sell out gig recently in Exeter, it is great to finally get the guys down to Plymouth for one of the biggest gigs they will play in the South West. Scouting For Girls and The Hoosiers are probably the hottest pop bands of the year and we are so proud to have bagged them both for our Autumn season!”
