Currently in the middle of a 13 date tour of the UK, Miles is pleased to announce what will be his biggest headline show in the UK this coming autumn.

Miles Kane’s debut album ‘Colour of the Trap’ was released at the beginning of the week and has been heralded with rave reviews with Q Magazine stating “It’s a little slab of pop perfection…”. . “He’s got style and presence,” said the Times and MOJO added that Miles is “fast becoming one of Britain’s landmark composers”.

Recorded in London with Dan Carey (Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip) and San Francisco with Dan The Automator (Gorillaz, Kasabian), ‘Colour of the Trap’ is a glorious exploration into the darker corners of vintage pop, psych and blue-eyed soul sounds.

Miles will be appearing as special guest to Arctic Monkeys at their two Don Valley Bowl shows in June along with many festival appearances throughout the summer. For the live dates, Miles will be joined by his band, featuring Jay Sharrock from The Sand Band on drums, singer-songwriter Eugene McGuinness on vocals/rhythm guitar and Ben Parsons and Phil Anderson from Cherry Ghost on keyboards and bass guitar respectively.
