news: Wednesday 9th September 2009

Seasick Steve has announced a ten-date UK tour in November. The tour will take place shortly after the release of his upcoming album 'Man From Another Time', which comes out on Monday 19th October on Atlantic Records. The first taster of the album comes with the release of the single 'Diddley-bo'the week before.

Seasick Steve utilised a variety of favourite guitars on the album including a one-string Diddley-bo (a 2x4 with a string nailed to it), a guitar made out of an old cigar box (with four strings), his famous 3-string Trance Wonder guitar and an old beat-up acoustic guitar. His array of guitars were complimented by a tattered Fifties Fender Tweed Deluxe amp, old Forties ribbon mics and other weird and wonderful vintage microphones. The natural sounds and echoes of the recording rooms were used for reverb and any delays were done with tape. This will be a down in the dirt record.

Seasick Steve will be airing these new tracks and his array of guitars on tour in November. Seasick Steve said of the album, "I hope by making records like this, that it'll make people want to hear music that's recorded without the use of digital equipment, and that people's ears can get a little rest from all that shit. But if not, at least it was nice for me. Me and computers do not see eye to eye."

His tour dates are as follows:
Mon 02 November Newcastle City Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne
Tue 03 November HMV Picture House, Edinburgh
Thu 05 November O2 Academy, Leeds
Sat 07 November Liverpool Olympia, Liverpool
Mon 09 November Manchester Apollo, Manchester
