The Champs’ returned from Spain & France last week, having totally rocked the shit out of each venue, debuting some brand new songs along the way.
Check out THIS acoustic session they did for Spain’s Radio 3. 24 minutes in is a good place to skip to.
The band also appeared on the front page of MSN España. Oh, hang on, what was that title? “The new Springsteen is English” ? Yes, that’s definitely what they said. (That’d be Danny then.)
You may also like to read some of the reviews, which we bring to you via a handy, 85% accurate, translation tool:-
Madrid! Wish you were there? Someone’s kindly uploaded a whole load of videos from the show. Take your pick here. Or click here for one of those brand new songs.
Bilbao! Where “Springsteen was flying around the concert“.
And a video from Barcelona too.
Next stop – PUBS ROCK TOUR! Dates on the right.
R2 magazine (or Rock ‘n’ Reel if you prefer) has reviewed Danny & The Champions Of The World’s Hearts & Arrows album and Dawes’ Nothing Is Wrong in the latest issue. And here they both are:-
Already a breathktakingly fantastic live band, Danny & The Champions Of The World have been going from strength to strength. Every time we see them play we come away from the show with big smiles and high praise for just how good they are. However, it’s in the intimate surroundings of a pub which makes for the most rocking shows. So clearly, what we needed was a pub tour. Well here it is folks – the PUBS ROCK TOUR!
Danny & The Champs, accompanied by those “dirty folk” rockers Billy Vincent will be taking the following pubs by storm next month :-
The date Feb 14th rings a bell? Yes! It’s the release date of Hearts & Arrows on vinyl through Diverse Records! Coincidentally, Valentine’s Day also.
In celebration, we’re offering a FREE DOWNLOAD of You Don’t Know (My Heart Is In The Right Place), available up until the 14th Feb. Find it HERE.
Danny & The Champions Of The World’s track You Don’t Know (My Heart Is In The Right Place) is featured on Word magazine‘s Best 0f 2011 CD.
Even more wonderful is the fact that Word describes The Champs’ album Hearts & Arrows as “Dan-tastic”. Seriously. Take a look.
