The Latitude Festival has announced its 2012 lineup, and we are pleased to say that Dawes are a part of the talented bunch.

The 180g double LP version of Jim White’s new album, Where It Hits You, is now available the Loose online store.
Described by The Mirror as, ‘an artistic triumph,’ Where It Hits You is White’s first “proper” album since 2008’s Transnormal Skiperoo. And though we didn’t think it was possible, the album sounds even more eloquent on vinyl.
Our supply is limited, so head on over to our shop and pick up your copy today.

Now that we’ve sobered up and the hangovers are looming over us, we’ve managed to just about get it together enough to post a few snaps from last night’s Nashville Babylon. The bands were of course fantastic, much fun was had, far too much whiskey was consumed – everything to plan.
Join us for the next one on the 14th March with The Cedars & The Barker Band. In the meantime, our colourful assortment of Nashville Babylon t-shirts and handkerchiefs (oh yes, hankies) will soon be available from the Loose shop.

The latest edition of Word features interviews with the men behind some “one-man record labels”. One of these men is Tom. He talks about Loose and lies about his age. Check it out below!
