It has come to our attention that next month, those angular Plymouth fellas collectively known as Arthur Walker, will make their international debut in Holland.
The band, who are said to have ‘more hooks than a hyperactive angler’ are like a bunch of excited school kids on lunch break having been given the slot at Bibelot, in Dordrecht.
Drew, drummer for AW, said: “The aim this year, along with releasing the album, is to really get out and play some other cities. We’re all super excited because the Dutch are so open minded about music, we’re hoping they’ll take it in pretty well.”
The boys will be appearing along side fellow Devon band Hey Molly, who will be out on a mini European tour. Though Arthur themselves will be on just the one show, they’re planning to make a road trip out of it, and no doubt get a bit messy on the way.
“We’re going to take the video cameras along, I guess to document the trip, but then also we’re staying the night in Holland, so there’s got to be some good footage from that right?! We’ll see what we can edit together,” said Drew.
Arthur Walker are currently working on recording their first full length record at Plymouth’s Deep Blue Sound, the release date is yet to be confirmed. Check out Arthur Walker on their website for gig listings and what nots.
