CANCELLED:

Loup GarouX are ...well...frustrated to announce that, understandably, we have to now cancel the concert at The Dome. We were incredibly excited and hopeful that this would go ahead, and we could play for you again, live. But with all the current and necessary restrictions it’s just impossible at the moment. Be assured though that - when - this unfortunate period is over, we’ll be the first to get up and out again. We’ll see you there then. Love, LGX

NEW DATE: 29th January 2021

Tickets purchased for original date remain valid

LOUP GAROUX IS A NEW BAND FRONTED BY ED HARCOURT

OFFICIAL DEBUT SINGLE ‘I KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU

Featuring the Mercury Prize-nominated solo artist and producer Ed Harcourt, Richard Jones of The Feeling, and Gorillaz/Senseless Things drummer Cass Browne, newcomers Loup GarouX share their official debut single ‘I Know The TruthAbout You’, together with its official video.

The single has been premiered by Matt Everitt at 6 Music. ‘I Know The Truth About You’ is a strutting, swaggering cocktail of garage-rock sleaze and powerful, stoner rock grooves. There’s some Queens of the Stone Age flavour in there with some Arctic Monkeys panache and the epic romanticism of Mercury Rev, but Loup GarouX possess an impossible-to-pigeonhole mesh of influences which makes them very much their own ominous beast.

“I love that there’s a loucheness to the sound and that it feels quite nonchalant,” says Harcourt.
“It’s got to have that swagger. Even in its darkness, it’s still got to make you move.”

Loup GarouX have already made an impression with two introductory tracks. The foreboding“post-existentialist blues of ‘Sleep Forever’ saw them hailed by NME as a new supergroup after it featured as the theme track to the ITV2 zombie apocalypse comedy ‘Zomboat’. They then released ‘Painter of Trophies’ on 7” vinyl, a nightmarish rush of visceral Birthday Party-style goth punk and the frenetic intensity of...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead.

The track was earned airplay courtesy of Radio 1’s Rock Show with Daniel P Carter. Dig deeper into their material and you’ll hear echoes of everything from The Stooges to Sonic Youth to Scott Walker and Springsteen, set to lyrics which explore ideas ranging from demonic Victorian-era spirits to obsessive fever dreams.
