We can confirm some really exciting breaking news re Nottingham gents SWIMMING<\/a><\/strong>. Late of the Pier’s Sam Potter is joining the band with long time SWIMMING <\/a><\/strong>amigo Andy Wright focusing on his WE SHOW UP ON RADAR <\/a><\/strong>project (album expected soon). As if that was not enough SWIMMING <\/a><\/strong>are also off on a European Tour with The Megaphonic Thrift, which is exciting not just ’cause they are a great band but the TMT bassist is unbelieveably hot. And girls if you like the bearded man you’re going to live TMT’s front man.
\n
\nHere are the (distinctly less pervy) thoughts of SWIMMING <\/a><\/strong>themselves:
\n
\n“Ola dear Swimming pals and palettes,
\n
\nIn January 2012 we took a stroll in the sun and reformed in a new light…
\n
\nFirst to emerge was Sam Potter (of Late of The Pier) who has joined us on keyboard and samplers and drew this timely image for us all.
\n
\nHe is filling the gap left by our dearly beloved Andy Wright, who is finishing his debut WeShowUpOnRadar album. You can follow him here.. https:\/\/twitter.com\/WeShowUpOnRadar
\n
\nSam’s first gig with us will be in Cologne as part of our European tour with The Megaphonic Thrift\u2026.
\n
\nMARCH 2012<\/strong>

\nTues 6 Muenster Gleiss 22, Germany
\nWed 7 Cologne Gebaude 9, Germany

\nMon 12 Leeds Brudenell Social Club, UK

\n

\n
\nThe next single from “Ecstatics International” will be All Things Made New with I Do (Come True), available on digital download \/ limited edition CD from 23 April 2012.”
\n<\/em>
\n
\nThe band are also inviting fans to contribute to their tour zine, as they are much more eloquent than us lets pass back over to them:<\/strong>
\n
\nWe\u2019re making a zine for the tour in March and we would like your contributions.
\nIt can be an image, story, quiz, essay, dream sequence, lucky charm, whatever your mind-cogs conjure up. Theme is loosely based on our new album, Ecstatics International.
\nIt\u2019s going to be black and white A5 size. No advertising.
\nPost your enchanted ideas here or send to weareswimming@gmail.com by Wednesday 22nd February<\/strong>. All thoughts will be much appreciated but there is limited space so only a couple will make this edition. Look forward to seeing you…
