And for our American cousins, you can catch Dave Collingwood from ACPC playing drums for his other band, Gravenhurst, on their U.S. tour with Broadcast. If you see him, tell him we say “hi”.

Back in September, when the days were longer than the nights, Dreamboat Records released The Rollercoaster Project’s debut album Hatefield.

You can download three-eighths of Hatefield or you can buy the album for £5. But—as if that wasn’t enough—The Rollercoaster Project has made available two more MP3s to play on your walking music device.

• Drone 1
• Peking Saint (Rollercoaster Project remix)

The first is “Drone 1”, which is taken from a forthcoming E.P. This E.P. is a long way off, but we thought this track is so fantastic we couldn’t wait to share it with you. Run, don’t walk, to the download.

The second is a remix of Cat Power’s “Peking Saint”. Cat Power is great, and so is the original version of this song. We humbly submit the Rollercoaster Project remix for your aural analysis.

The Rollercoaster Project will be supporting a couple of so-hot-right-now bands in Leeds in October and November.

• Friday, 7th October, 2005
  The Vine, Leeds
  Supporting The Tailors and Being 747
• Wednesday, 16th November, 2005
  The Faversham, Leeds
  Supporting Of Montreal

There will be live instruments and snacks.

The very first release on Dreamboat Records — Hatefield by The Rollercoaster Project — is out on Monday 5th September, 2005. It’s the perfect back to school gift. All orders come free with a stupid spell that Johnny made us put in the bloody liner notes.

You can download some of the tracks before you buy the CD. Please feel free to share these MP3s with trusted allies and worthy peers. If you like what you hear, then proceed calmly to the shop, where you can buy the full album for but £5 (including shipping, £1 extra for orders outside the EU). There is a 20% discount for quarterbacks and diplomats.

The CD will also be available in good record shops near you, provided you live in Bristol or Leeds. Details will follow.
