A few weeks back Jack and Suren sat down with John Kennedy to record an episode for the Tape Notes podcast. With it being the 10 year anniversary of I had the blues but I shook them loose, we thought it would be fun to go all the way back and talk about a few tracks from our first album. We explore the process of how these tracks went from very early demo stage to the eventual album version. We were lucky enough to have Jim Abbiss, who produced the album, join the discussion as well. We've worked a lot with Jim over the years (he also produced our very first EPs and some of our third album) so it was interesting to talk about how our relationship has changed over time as we became more confident in the studio and developed as a band. You can listen to the podcast here http://bit.ly/TN23BombayBicycleClub And if you haven't listened already, you can hear the early demos we talk about in the episode here https://bombaybicycleclub.lnk.to/Demos0408So Hope you enjoy. bbc x

Tickets for our 10th anniversary shows for 'I had the blues but I shook them loose' go on sale in 30 minutes at 10AM today. Gengahr will be supporting. See you there! Ticket links on our website in the tour dates section: bombaybicycleclub.lnk.to/websiteSO UPDATE: Please do not buy tickets from Viagogo or secondary ticketing sites. We made this tour all digital to ensure tickets don’t end up there. Any tickets on those sites are likely not legit. For any tickets that you don’t need, please resell at face value from the site you purchased if they have this option (Dice for instance) or use Twickets

Happy 10th birthday I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose! Today marks a decade since our first album was released, and before we turn our attention to new music (we promise we'll have something for you to hear next month), we wanted to take a moment to pay our respects. We've got a couple of things planned over the next few months to celebrate this momentous occasion: Today we're releasing an EP which consists of demos made between 2004 and 2008. Some of these never progressed beyond demo stage and this is the first time they've seen the light of day, some of them you'll be familiar with. You can hear this EP right here: https://bombaybicycleclub.lnk.to/Demos0408So We're also going to play a short run of dates later this year where we'll play the album from start to finish. We might throw in a few extra treats for you as well. Nov 4 - Liverpool Olympia Nov 5 - Dundee Caird Hall Nov 6 - Nottingham Rock City Nov 7 - Bath Pavilion Nov 8 - London Brixton Fan presale for these shows is live now: https://bombaybicycleclub.lnk.to/IHTBTourSo. General onsale is Friday at 10AM. Support comes from the excellent Gengahr We're looking forward to these shows a lot, and hope to see some of you there to celebrate with us. Lots more news coming soon. bbc x

Hello, With a new year ahead of us, we thought now would be a good moment to give you a bit of news about what the four of us have been up to recently and what we have planned. Since late last year we’ve been getting back into the swing of playing music together. We were initially a little rusty but also nostalgic playing songs that have been around since we were teenagers. More than anything it just felt great to be in the same room playing again. It made us realise what a good thing we have and has given us renewed energy and enthusiasm for the future. The joy we were getting out of playing the old songs seemed to naturally lead us onto working on new material, so we’re becoming immersed in that as we speak. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we have something new for you guys to hear. We’re also planning some shows for later this year and beyond. We’ll have news on that front over the coming months. Can’t wait to see you all. We’ve missed you. Jack, Ed, Jamie, Suren x
