Peter J Kent shot this YouTube footage from the London show:
– On Monday Lucy released a new song “Cover Up” as a free download on Soundcloud and it’s nearly reached 30,000 plays in 3 days. The song has also been played on BBC 6Music by Lauren Laverne, Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins this week, and on XFM by John Kennedy.
– Lucy revealed that her second album probably won’t be released until early 2015 :(
– Lucy will play British Summer Time festival in London Hyde Park on 12th July – the bill includes Neil Young, The National, Tom Odell and Half Moon Run. More info
– Counting Crows have recruited Lucy to support them again on tour in the UK in November 2014. You can find out more on the official LR site
– Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable today (26th June) featured “Cover Up” as one of the tunes reviewed. Josie Long and Anna Calvi both scored it 7/10, whilst Alexis from Hot Chip gave it 6/10. You can listen again to the podcast here (skip to 6m40, and the discussion starts from 9m35)
– “Shiver” has been used as the theme song this season for Japanese anime Mushishi and Sony Japan released the song on 11th June via iTunes JP (Japan-only I think)
