Imperial Leisure Tour Dates March 2010
With plaudits from Imperial Leisure's debut, The Art of Saying Nothing, still ringing in their ears and having rounded out 2009 supporting the likes of The King Blues. The are ready to set out on the road again with their new streamlined setup showcasing new tracks from their upcoming as yet untitled album that is set for release in summer 2010!
With IL original members Denis Smith on vocals, AJ White on guitar, Dan Dobson on bass, Scott Vining on drums, Stu Maxwell on keyboards and new boy Jerome Harper guesting on brass, the sound is leaner and meaner, whilst retaining the band's trademark energy and intensely catchy songs.
The live set retains its truly distinctive British flavour that includes fan favourites and stand out tracks such as Radio One picks In A Letter, Jenny and the skantastic Man On The Street. Other highlights include The Beast and The Landlord's Daughter, all delivered with the new line-up so expect a few extra twists as well as a cheeky peppering of new album tracks.
Imperial Leisure spent the last two years laying markers across the UK with memorable live performances that have created a fervent live fan base. Selling out shows and playing at festivals across the UK including Glastonbury, Bestival, Reading, Lovebox, and Fruitstock to name but a few. Imperial Leisure are happy headlining, supporting or springing spontaneous gigs on unsuspecting but hugely appreciative crowds in shopping centres, parks, and on beaches around the UK; oh yeah and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Imperial Leisure has supported the likes of The King Blues, Less Than Jake, Roots Manuva, Gym Class Heroes, the legendary Sugar Hill Gang, Sway, YoungBlood Brass Band and Skinnyman.
With supporters across UK press, Radio 1, XFM, 6 Music and Kerrang Radio eagerly awaiting the new material, IL fans will be the first to hear new tracks on their forthcoming warm up tour before a triumphant launch into the UK's consciousness this summer.

I Like Music because...
James, Maroon 5: ilikemusic because... It is a gateway into the present moment.
Keysor Sose: ilikemusic because... it's the best you can feel legally ;-)
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
IMTIAZ HASAN: ilikemusic because... music is fuel that steers us through the emotions and phases of life, music promotes a feeling of oneness and generate meaning to our emotions, music lets us explore the culural differences and the tools that are employed through the decades to artistic peaks. why i like music? because it conserves humanity...that is why I LIKE MUSIC
susan rowe: ilikemusic because... it reaches the soul, sooths the mind, speaks volumes, lightens the heart. music is food for my soul.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
