Rosie and The Goldbug Tour With Cyndi Lauper

One of the UK's most successful examples of going down the indie route Rosie and the Goldbug have just been confirmed as main support for the 1st leg of Cyndi Lauper's European Tour.

Cyndi, well known for her vocally superior and emotionally intense live performances, recently concluded the second year of her 25-city True Colors Tour. The tour, which raised awareness about gay rights, featured icons B-52s, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts as well as up and coming acts like Tegan and Sara, The Cliks, Regina Spektor and many more.

So continuing with her support of upcoming talent, she hand picked Rosie and the Goldbug to come on the next tour with her. Rosie and the Goldbug can already boast of an Xfm playlist, and support from 6 Music and Radio 2 aswell as playing a number of festivals all over the country this summer including Bestival and Latitude. Their videos can be found playlisted on Q, E4, 4 Music and NME TV.

Rosie & The Goldbug have been forming some impressive partnerships. One of which includes co-writing with Marcella Detroit (formerly of Shakespear's Sister) and Glasgow band El Presidente. All this for their debut album which they worked on alongside producer Jim Eliot. Jim is one half of Kish Mauve (the top electro duo whose track 2 Hearts was covered by Kylie Minogue for her comeback single).
