The Blood Arm make their return to the venues of the UK this October for a ten date tour. These shows will give their UK fans the first chance to hear tracks from their recently released album Turn and Face Me.
The tour starts in London and ends in Windsor, beginning at the Windmill in Brixton on October the 10th, and wraps up on the 19th at the live music and indie club night – FAT a.k.a Forget About Tomorrow. Stops between include Southampton, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham. yet the band are also stepping outside the regular expected stops on the UK touring circuit with performances at the Hop in Wakefield on Saturday the 15th and Winchester’s Railway Inn on Monday the 17th.
Our very own Keith Top of the Pops & His Minor UK Indie All-Star Backing Band will be joining The Blood Arm on tour for all the dates apart from the 18th in London and the 19th in Windsor. Keith just released his debut album Fuck You! I’m Keith Top of the Pops which Artrocker Magazine hailed as their Album of the Month for September.

Turn and Face Me‘s release earlier this summer saw reviewers everywhere making positive noises about the band’s latest release. Uncut said the band “evoke a classic lineage of ramshackle boho party-rock” whilst WORD compared the band’s chorus’ to the similarly “lyrically smart” Arctic Monkeys.
Don’t forget to also check out the video for “Relentless Love”, also available on YouTube. This was the first single to be released from the album during the summer.
