Chimp Spanner return to London

Chimp Spanner have confirmed their return to London – Paul Ortiz's brainchild will appear at Surya, Kings Cross, on May 5.

Support comes from Shattered Skies and Hieroglyph, and all three bands have promised to deliver an evening of unheard music.

They say: “Chimp Spanner will be performing brand-news song Aurora for the first time, and Shattered Skies will present more songs from their upcoming album The World We Used To Know.

“With this being Hieroglyph’s first London show there’s a lot of new music to be heard.”

Tickets are on sale now.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
