Reminder - The Longcut are on Channel 4 tonight at 2335pm

Tune into Channel 4’s Transmission With T-Mobile tonight at 23:35pm as Manchester band The Longcut will be performing their next single (out in October) ‘A Tried And Tested Method’. Also featured on the show are Badly Drawn Boy, The View, Orson and The Egg. The show itself was recorded last Friday (4th Aug) at the 3Sixty Media studio in Manchester

Here’s a snippet from a recent The Longcut MySpace blog posting about the new single:

Its backed by a new song that some of you may recognize
from the gigs, and also (hopefully) a cover of the Euros Childs song
“Circus Time” which we are currently recording ourselves. We’ll be
posting more details about this nearer the time.

We’ve also been working on a few remixes recently, One is a Maps tune called “Start Something” and the other is “Sapphire Eyes” by Serena Maneesh. Hopefully we’ll be able to collect them all together on cd at some point but we’ll keep you posted on that one. We should also have a few more european dates coming up soon but plans aren’t finalised so again we’ll keep you posted

If you can’t wait until October for the new single, The Longcut will be releasing an online EP avaliable on 21st August. The EP includes four tracks, Idiot Check, Vitamin C, Lonesome No More! and The Kiss Off, which were recorded at Airtight studios. Available for the bargain price of £1.50 from iTunes/ Napster or free if you’re on the band’s mailing list
