Hey! So there's this awesome band from Chicago called Company of Thieves that I've been following for over a year now and they've gained a good bit of notoriety over here in that time. (They're going to be at Lollapalooza in Chicago in August!) But they're heading over to the UK in June and I thought this blog would be interested in talking about such an up-and-coming band and their first trip EVER to play abroad. I mean I've been following them forever and would love to see them hit it in the UK too!

Company of Thieves has just got this fantastically unique sound that I think would be much appreciated by fellow fans in the UK. — a little over a year ago they were on Last Call with Carson Daly…you should check it out!

(and if you get a chance, maybe look up some of their other live sets on youtube…)

They're playing a couple of these tiny venues in London:

8 June – Barfly – 7:30pm

[49 Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8AN]

9 June – Monto Water Rats – 8pm

[328 Gray's Inn Road, London WC1X 8BZ]

Seriously though – their live show is to die for!! I've seen them several times in several different states…and each time they just continue to enthrall me. Their album that's out right now ("Ordinary Riches") is phenomenal, but somehow all of the songs are a million times more incredible live!!

But it'd really be awesome if you'd talk a bit about them – I really think folks in the UK would love them!!

Oh, and you should check out their Myspace too for some photos and some more of their songs:
