Three weeks until Upload 2 Tour starts and NEW EP!

Hey.

So the next tour is only three weeks away. London, Glasgow and the two Dublin shows have sold out, and we recently upgraded the Leeds venue to Cockpit 2, having sold out Cockpit 3 so quickly!

Really hope many of you can come. Tickets for the remaining dates can be found here: http://www.uploadlive.co.uk

I’m also currently putting together some tracks for a new EP that will be out at the end of this month. It will be called the “Call Of Duty” EP and will feature “Call Of Duty” from my album from last year and three brand new unreleased tracks.

I’m only planning on doing this as an online release, but i might make a few copies if people want to have a CD. I’ll see what people say.

Really excited about what’s coming up and I hope you are too!

Much Love. 

Dave

Ps. I’m playing two shows with FranKo for their farewell tour next week. Details here: www.davejgiles.com/gigs

Tours Over

So the Upload Tour is finished. We had 6 sold out shows and over 1530 tickets purchased across the 10 days! Thanks a lot for coming.

For the first time in ages i don’t have any dates in my diary. I’m in the process of planning two tours, one for May and one for October. I also intend on doing heaps of living room gigs in August, so feel free to e-mail me about booking one! info@cheekychimprecords.com 

It’s about time i started writing some new songs too. I think I might release a new EP in May.

Anyway. Thanks for the support and keep your eyes pealed for my tour dates.

The Happy Sad Song - Official Music Video

So today I release the second music video from the “Love, Life, Loss and Tea” album that i made last year.

Please give it a watch, and share it around if you like it. It’s a song I wrote about a girl that I knew who lived her whole life with severe illness before dying shortly before her 15th birthday. I wanted to write a tribute that seemed fitting. 

Co-written with Chris Porter and Nigel Pulsford.

Video directed, edited and made by Anna Eijsbouts

The Upload Tour starts on Friday. Its quite amazing that six of the shows are sold out. Tickets are still available for Norwich, London, Birmingham and Nottingham. Details from here.

The Upload Tour - February 2013

So I’m back on tour in the middle of February. My biggest tour to date with three amazing other singer songwriters that I have met due to getting involved with the YouTube community: BriBry, Eddplant and Tom Law.

I really hope you can make it. Liverpool has already sold out, and the others are getting close. Tickets from here: http://dft.ba/-upload2013

The dates can be seen on the picture below:

You can order the album on CD from my merch store: www.davegiles.bigcartel.com

And you can listen to it on Spotify as well: Dave Giles – Love, Life, Loss and Tea

I really hope you enjoy it. It’s been over a years worth of writing, fundraising and production, so it would mean a lot to me if you purchased the album, or even just a track or two! Let me know what you think as well!

“Love, Life, Loss and Tea” - It’s finished!

So, after announcing I was going to make it in April, I’ve finally finished my debut album “Love, Life, Loss and Tea”. Produced by the incredible Nigel Pulsford, and featuring performances from some amazing musicians! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

The presale has started and you can buy your copy by clicking here. There are some limited edition merch bundles that will only be available as part of the pre-sale, so have a look and see if you fancy something.

New videos will be coming soon :D

The front cover of the CD looks like this:

Thanks so much for your support this year, I hope to see you on my tours later this year. (Speaking of which, the Borderline and Garage are now SOLD OUT!) More details click here. 

New Tour Announced!

My four album launch gigs are getting dangerously close to selling out, so it seemed like a good idea to announce my next tour… Click on the poster for full info.

New Music Video for Bangarang

So I’ve been busy since the tour ended. Finally got round to recording a video to Bangarang. What do you think?

Venue Change: Manchester

Hey,

The tour starts in 7 days, and I’m pleased to announce that due to high demand we’ve moved the Manchester show from Alter Ego to Satan’s Hollow. Its still 14+ and all tickets currently purchased are obviously still valid. I will contact everyone that I know has tickets to inform them.

Really excited about the tour. Rehearsals are sounding really great and we’ve got a whole load of shortbread for everyone :D

Hope to see you on the tour!
