Following high-profile support slots with Manic Street Preachers and praise from the likes of Zane Lowe and Steve Lamacq, the band are heading out on the road for a tour that takes in Peterborough's Met Lounge on Sunday.

Formed in Portsmouth, the band took the decision early on to share roles and not talk to their audiences during shows.

A limited edition hand-packaged first recording followed, before their debut mini album Forward March caught the eye of the NME and the broadsheet press.

Now the band have toured the UK, played most of the major festivals and been championed by radio and press alike, earning comparisons with the likes of Arcade Fire and British Sea Power.

Support on the night comes from Wave Machines and Peterborough's The Brackets.

Rachel Devlin, of Deaf by Stereo, the Peterborough promoters that have brought the gig to the Met, said: "It's not often you get a glockenspiel player on the Met Lounge stage. They like to engage with the crowd, so be prepared for a entertaining show. We are also looking forward to seeing the Wave Machines play before them. They are from Liverpool, and sound similar in style to their city-brethren Clinic."

The Strange Death of Liberal England will be at The Met Lounge from 8pm on Sunday. Tickets, costing £6, are available on 01733 571616 or at www.see tickets.com
