It’s been four years since the now simply titled ‘D.I.D’ released their critically acclaimed debut album ‘All Our Favourite Stories’ (October, 2012).
Some words from D.I.D: “Recording the first album was a learning curve of which we worked with 4 different producers from completely different backgrounds, from psych-maniac David Kosten to 80s legend Trevor Horn. Sometimes it takes a long time to learn where the best place for you to write and record is, both metaphorically and literally. We knew this time around we wanted a finished product before we went and toured the world over rather than going back and forth to the studio. What we took from the first record is that we knew we wanted to starve ourselves of luxury and write and record in Nottingham at our favourite studio (random recordings) in the middle of an industrial estate. No luxury 12 foot mixing desks and symphony orchestras lying about meant that we could focus on the pure essence of song and stay true to the progression of the band with no eye on being ‘current’. This process meant we had to have the discipline to sacrifice playing live shows until now which has only made us more hungry to get on the road and cause trouble.”
D.I.D.
It’s been two years since the now simply titled ‘D.I.D’ released their critically acclaimed debut album ‘All Our Favourite Stories’ (October, 2012).
Now – after a period holed away writing new music – D.I.D return to play two very intimate 14+ live dates in London and their hometown of Nottingham. Excluding last year’s secret headline slot for BBC Introducing at Reading & Leeds and appearance on the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury – the forthcoming December shows are the first live dates D.I.D have played since March 2013’s UK tour which saw the band sell out venues including Koko, London and Nottingham Rock City.
From Tonight D.I.D will began a 10 Day Countdown to Brand New Music via their Facebook, Twitter and official website. More info to follow.
