| Supergrass Diamond Hoo Ha Limited Vinyl LP. The mighty Supergrass are back with their brand new album Diamond Hoo Ha. Recorded in Berlin's legendary Hansa studios over a 3 week period with producer Nick Launay (Arcade Fire, Nick Cave, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) Diamond Hoo Ha captures the energy and enthusiasm of a band firing on all cylinders, none more evident than on opening track Diamond Hoo Ha Man (released as a limited edition 7" in January and achieving single of the week status in NME and The Fly). To quote one review, "the beefy, stomporific riffs are back on board". A notable departure from 2005's more pastoral and reflective (yet still critically acclaimed) Road To Rouen, Diamond Hoo Ha features a handful of rocking tracks debuted last summer when Supergrass were hand-picked as main support for the Arctic Monkeys at their Old Trafford shows. Tracks such as Rough Knuckles and future singles Bad Blood and Rebel In You are welcome additions to the band's already impressive cannon of classic songs like Caught By the Fuzz, Richard III, Moving and Pumping On Your Stereo. 13 years into their career and with 5 albums and a Best Of already under their belts, Gaz, Danny, Mick and Rob are sounding fresher than ever. Since finishing the album the band have played 2 Christmas homecoming shows at Oxford Town Hall, as well as the XFM Winter Wonderland show at Brixton Academy with Bloc Party. Not to mention a series of "hush hush" club dates from Gaz and Danny under the not-so-secret identity of the Diamond Hoo Ha Men. A full UK tour (featuring the return of recently injured bass player Mick Quinn) has just been announced, including shows at the London Roundhouse and Astoria. First single proper 'Bad Blood' precedes the album on 17th March. Tracklisting Diamond Hoo Ha Man Bad Blood Rebel In You When I Needed You 345 The Return Of ...
