MANCHESTER’S Longview are set to release a new single as
a download and limited 7" on May 10.
The self-produced track, a blistering version of the Depeche
Mode recording Stripped, will be the band’s first
new material since the release of their debut album, Mercury,
in 2003.
In addition, following their sell-out show at the Mean Fiddler
earlier this year, Longview will play a nine-date headline tour
of the UK in June, including London’s Astoria on June 23.
Stripped will be available as a download, complete with artwork
from Longviewmusic.co.uk,
and other music sites.

Payment methods will be credit card and reverse SMS at a charge
of £1 (£1.50 for SMS).
The tour dates are as follows…
Monday, June 14 - Soundhaus, Northampton
Tuesday, June 15 - Arts Centre, Colchester
Wednesday, June 16 - Fez, Reading
Thursday, June 17 - Solus, Cardiff
Friday, June 18 - Mill, Preston
Saturday, June 19 - Venue, Edinburgh

Stripped will precede the release of an all-new Longview single,
In A Dream, in late June.
Penned by the band’s bassist, Aidan Banks, it finds Longview
operating with a new clarity and depth after a Winter holed up
in Manchester.
