Hopefully even the least observant among you will have noticed that the blog layout has changed from the tedious, post-hack, paint-drying yawnfest it was before. Now it is a splendiferous cornucopia of awesomeness, as I’m sure you’ll agree. I’m pretty sure that everything is working and in the right place, but if you do happen to happen across any glitches, please do let me know.
The design was done by Ryan Raplee of New York, and a fine job he did too, as well as being a lovely chap. I’d heartily recommend his services in the world of WordPress theme designs.
In other internet-related news, the old RSS feed is still extant, but I’ve also got it running through FeedBurner now, which you can subscribe to using the RSS button above. Update accordingly.
Finally, on this whole riff, the “merchandize” button currently links to the US store. Come September 1st we are launching a new webstore and merch service for Europe, which will basically be the same as the US version, so all the awesome designs will be available everywhere all the time. Which is nice.
We had a great weekend in Europe, particularly enjoying enthusiastic Germans and friendly Swiss people. Tomorrow we hit sold out warm-up shows in Derby and Kendall, before the annual victory parade that is Reading and Leeds. Then it’s a short run in the States, followed by studio time to record the new EP (due for release in November). See you soon!




You can order England Keep My Bones through any of the online retailers below.
Like to look of it, I can’t seem to find the old page which had Guitar Tabs on for Sleep Is For The Week. Also will there be further tabs added especially from Love Ire And Song.
nice new look, any chance the europe store will be having merch (clothing) for us ladies? as the us doesnt seem to.
oh and v. excited for new ep
wohooo! waiting for ladies-merch too… saw you on area 4 festival – awsome show!!! i was looking for some shirts there too, but the guy from the booth just said “we haven´t received any shirts of frank turner!” hmmpf… but the show was f..ing incredible! by the way: when are you going to entertain your german audience in cologne? they are hungry for swaying, singing, screaming and your anecdotes…
Hi Frank,
saw you and your band on the Area 4 Festival – WHAT A GREAT SHOW! Never thought that a performance in the afternoon could be my favourite one!
But although Placebo, QOTSA, Minus The Bear, State Radio and many more were great – nobody could reach your fun, your music, your energy, your charism!
Thank you for your performance and best hugs from Germany!
Gonna see you, when you’re around next time.
Cheers
Christian
I’ve seen you in Winterthur. Great show. I love how you really enjoyed yourselves up there. I’m really thankful that Facebook told me that people who like The Gaslight Anthem (it’s an absolute shame I couldn’t be at their Winterthur gig today) like you and that YouTube had your videos. Since that day, I bought two albums (Amazon downloads) and visited a concert (since I had already missed your Southside gig) – now if that isn’t proof that social media just works for great music I don’t know what is
I’m really looking forward to whatever is coming next … and maybe, just maybe, you could start adding your setlists to setlist.fm
Cheers, Stefan
Heres the link to the old tabs http://www.frank-turner.com/tabs.html
WOOOO!! KENDAL!!! Kendalian Tip: If you mention anything to do with Kendal Mincake at your gig, the audience WILL go mental. Bought tickets aaaages ago and now I can’t wait – s’gonna be awesome!!
Frank, Europe and th US is NOT all over the world! You of all people should know that. What about me? Why am I always left out of all the fun, the gigs, the festivals and now the t-shirts?
Fine, I will quit complaining and wait patiently for free merchandise at home, as your number two fan – your mom can be first, it’s ok with me – I surely deserve it.
I love the new blog. Congrats!
Frank – thanks for giving me a plug. It was a pleasure working with you. If anyone else needs a web developer or designer, let me know. I also do WordPress setup and consultation.
