New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Chester-based indie-pop band Peaness are delighted to announce they will support
We Are Scientists on their forthcoming October 2018 UK tour dates.
Alongside the news, the band have announced newly-confirmed festival appearances at Off The Record, Ritual Union and Beat Connection, with several further headline dates announced throughout 2018/19.
After a rapturous reception from 'introducing' gurus over the past year, the trio are now looking to build on their early success and step things up a gear, currently holed up in the recording studio working on a body of new music, and with fresh material set for release before the end of the year.
Peaness had a hugely successful 2017/18 with the release of their Are You Sure? EP on Alcopop! Records, whipping up a wave of introducing support at radio from BBC 6 Music, BBC
Radio 1 and
Radio X, and national press coverage including Kerrang! Magazine,
Total Guitar, Tom Tom Magazine, Rolling Stone, Clash, The Skinny Magazine, Upset, Drowned in Sound, and Goldflakepaint.
The release led to appearances at a slew of festivals in 2018 including The Great Escape, 2000 Trees, TRUCK, Indie Tracks, Handmade, Sŵn Festival and many more.
Further details of new music will be revealed over the coming weeks.
Are You Sure? is out now via Alcopop! Records - https://www.ilovealcopop.co.uk

Selling like proverbial hot cakes of DIY-goodness, pre-orders of the band's latest single 'Same Place'/'Seafoam' on Oddbox Records sold out in just two days, with the repress selling out in a week, and the band have revealed a string of UK festival appearances for summer 2017 including 2000 Trees, TRUCK, Indietracks, Focus Wales and more - full details below.
Following up their recent succession of left-field, anthemic singles with this latest bundle of joy, Are You Sure? is another solid collection of lo-fi, infectious and sugar-coated indie-pop from the Cheshire trio. Bursting with hooks and saccharine melodies, it's a genie's lamp of a record which shines a spotlight on their stunning vocal harmonies and precise pop song writing, packing a whole lot of grin-inducing music into a very small space.
Fans of Courtney Barnett,
Sleater-Kinney and Andy Shauf should find plenty to enjoy in the tiny grandeur of their bedroom-label missives, which never lose sight of the reason they started a band in the first place: to enjoy themselves.
Formed in Chester in late 2014, the band's debut EP No Fun was self-released in 2015 and was, ironically, loads of bloody fun, packed with feel-good, sunshine indie-pop the likes of which it was impossible for Alcopop to ignore. The resulting furore saw the trio gigging extensively up and down the country alongside the likes of PAWS, The Spook School, Mammoth Penguins, Chorusgirl, Sauna Youth, Vangoffey, Yak, Goat Girl and The Lovely Eggs.
No strangers to a muddy field (being named after legumes, as they are), they've also tucked a healthy selection of festivals under their belts, appearing at: A Carefully Planned Festival, Wales Goes Pop!, DIYPOPFEST, Stay
Fresh Fest, Threshold Festival, Lock Tavern Festival, Chester Live, Focus Wales, Llangollen Fringe Festival and the NME-Award-winning Sŵn Festival, where the band packed out the legendary Clwb Ifor Bach to max capacity.
Their recent AA single of 'I'm Not Your Problem / Fortune Favours The Bold' was originally released on 7" via Canadian indie label Kingfisher Bluez, and the band's own run of limited edition green cassette tapes featuring their No Fun EP sold out in less than 12 hours, with a second red pressing also selling out completely thanks to their fast-growing and loyal organic fan base.
