Fountains of Wayne UK November dates

Following the recent release of Fountains Of Wayne's critically acclaimed new album, Sky Full Of Holes, the band will be playing the following UK dates:

9th November London, Scala
11th November Manchester , Club Academy

Recorded in New York City, Sky Full Of Holes features 13 new songs ranging from high-energy power pop to intimate, acoustic-driven ballads. Songs like The Summer Place and Richie And Ruben showcase the band's renowned storytelling abilities and flair for creating memorable characters; elsewhere, they take a more impressionistic approach, as in the shimmering Someone's Gonna Break Your Heart and the elegiac Cemetery Guns (a lyric from which provides the album's title). In signature FOW fashion, the album manages to be simultaneously witty and wistful, imaginative and personal.

Formed in New York in 1996, Fountains Of Wayne took its name from an iconic garden store in nearby Wayne, New Jersey (which, sadly, closed recently). The group's line-up has remained unchanged since they toured in support of their 1996 self-titled debut album. Fountains of Wayne were nominated for two Grammys, including a slightly belated Best New Artist nod, in 2003, after scoring a hit with their third album, Welcome Interstate Managers.

Sky Full Of Holes is the band's fifth full-length release (not including 2005's two-disc B-side compilation Out-Of-State Plates). It was produced by Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger and mixed by longtime collaborator John Holbrook, who also worked on Welcome Interstate Managers and Traffic And Weather.
