Viral marketing

Facebook tends to be somewhere we, as a band, have tended to avoid. However, with a view to spreading the word about our forthcoming album and tour, we've set up a Facebook page. I think how it works is you become a fan of the page, then all of your Facebook friends see that you've become a fan of it and are thus made aware of our continued existence and artistic output. And then their friends see it, and on it goes. Forever. Genius.

Website overhaul

Welcome to the new Chumbawamba website - redesigned to celebrate our forthcoming album, ABCDEFG.

There've been a few changes …

An evening with Chumbawamba

And O'Hooley and Tidow, those dapper-suited gentlewomen from Huddersfield who some of you may have seen us with on our 2009 tour. They've got a new album out too - also on the marvellous No Masters label. Seventeen dates in March. Coming to a town near you. Probably. Check the gigs page for details.

Five go to Europe

From May 6th to 15th. Obviously when we say Europe, we actually mean a few selected countries within it - in this instance, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. Support will once more come from the inimitable Bettina Schelker. More information on the gigs page
