Hatcham Social

London’s Hatcham Social are direct musical descendants of Orange Juice, Echo & the Bunnymen or, more recently, Clearlake: scratchy but melodic, with an occasional flair for the melodramatic, and very, very British. In the UK, they’re signed to Fierce Panda, the label that first gave us Art Brut and, um, Coldplay; in the U.S they’re with TBD Records, home of White Rabbits and Radiohead. Hatcham Social’s long-time-coming debut, You Dig The Tunnel, I’ll Hide The Soil, was co-produced by Tim Burgess of the Charlatans with whom they’ll be touring this fall.

Before that, they’ll be playing a handful of choice NYC shows over the next week or so, including Thursday’s (6/18) Twee As Fuck party at Cake Shop that also features most of Slumberland’s current roster: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Crystal Stilts, and Cause Co-Motion. Tickets ($10) to that show, by the way, can be bought in advance at either Cake Shop or Bruar Falls daily from noon to 10PM. Please note: “ONLY 200 TIX AVAILABLE!” Um… 200 people can fit in Cake Shop? UPDATE: Sold out, but tickets will be available at the door. Go early if you don’t already have a ticket and want to get in.

Additionally, Hatcham Social are playing Mondo @ Don Hill’s this Friday (6/19), and two dates with The Maccabees and Miike Snow: Saturday (6/20) at Music Hall of Williamsburg and Monday (6/22) at Mercury Lounge.

Check out the MP3 of “So So Happy Making” above, and there are videos, flyers and tour dates after the jump.
