ARAB STRAP TO PLAY FOPP IN-STORE
Arab Strap will be making in-store appearances at Fopp Glasgow and Edinburgh this October. The 17th of October will see them playing a semi-acoustic set at the Fopp store on Union Street (Glasgow) at five o‚ clock and the 18th of October will see them playing a semi-acoustic set at the Rose Street (Edinburgh) store at five o‚ clock.
Arab Strap will be supporting the release of their new album, "The Last Romance," their sixth studio album, to be released through Chemikal Underground Records on the 17th of October. in at just over 35 minutes, it‚s shorter than previous Arab Strap outings and with songs like Dream Sequence, Speed:Date and There Is No Ending we‚re confronted with a more buoyant, upbeat and driven Arab Strap than we‚ve heard in quite some time. While retaining Arab Strap‚s knack for vivid and eloquent storytelling, The Last Romance barrells out of the speakers with an assured urgency ˆ engagingly melodic and in some cases, floor-fillingly danceable.
Fopp In-stores have become something of an institution; Arab Strap will be following in the footsteps of Franz Ferdinand, Star(cunting)sailor and Magic Numbers who have all played at Fopp stores in recent years. Fopp‚s ability to provide a platform for cutting edge bands to play to fans across its stores is being developed all the time. At the moment Fopp Nottingham is spearheading providing new facilities, building a new stage to make the in-store experience even better for the bands and their fans.

THE PADDINGTONS TO PLAY FOPP IN-STORE
The Paddingtons will be making in-store appearances at Fopp stores in London and Nottingham this October. The 17th of October will see them playing a semi-acoustic set at the Fopp store on Earlham Street (London) at five o‚ clock and the 21st of October will see them playing a semi-acoustic set at Queen Street (Nottingham) store at five o‚ clock.
The fearsome-fivesome from Hull will be supporting the release of their new single ŒSorry‚ out on the 17th of October through Poptones. From touring with the riotous Babyshambles, to opening up for Har Mar Superstar, to having Bez from the Happy Mondays doing his cosmic dance during a Death Disco set, The Paddingtons want to do one thing. They are here to bring you the rock. Their incendiary live shows have become stuff of legend, Alan McGee signed them straight after seeing them live ˆ so best catch them at Fopp ˆ NOW!
