Recording of the new Adam Franklin & Bolts of Melody album, I Could Sleep For A Thousand Years, has been completed with the final bit of mixing to be tidied early December in Cardiff. Those Swervedriver fellas have been suspiciously busy, playing a smattering of UK shows - finishing with the MBV curated All Tomorrow's Parties. You're not gonna want to miss that one.. And finally, Adam & the Bolts will set off for a winter tour in the new year - check those dates here.

Well, the tour has ended. Cities were rocked. Amps were blown. Ankles were broken, but thankfully some hearts were unbroken. There are whispers of heading to the studio, beginning work on the next ablum - which is looking to be a rockier affair. Adam will head back to the UK in late September for some European dates with Sophia, followed by a few Swervedriver shows at the MBV curated All Tomorrow's Parties.
