Dont forget to grab your tickets here. https://thisisnow.ticketco.events/uk/en/m/e/edition3  News Dave, Steve and Michael are appearing on Sky TV’s Memory Lane 80s Show with Hayley Palmer tonight. They will be chatting about the band as well as selecting their favourite songs from the decade. News The band recently took part in some filming for an upcoming online TV series called ‘That Was Then, This Is Now’. Devised by Radio 1 legend Mike Read and producer Mike Stock, the series features many artists from the United DJs’ Heritage Chart who are still making music today. Alongside The Vapors, the series has appearances from Toyah, Paul Young, Kim Wilde and many others. The series consists of five episodes and will be shown online weekly from 7pm Thursday 5th of November (the older amongst us will recognise this as the regular ‘Top Of The Pops’ slot!). The Vapors appear on episode three on 19th November and will be performing two songs. The programme is pay per view and tickets, and other info, can be found here News  On this day in 1980, the band released their fourth single ‘Waiting For The Weekend’, the third and final single from ‘New Clear Days’. The single version was a different mix to the album track and featured the inclusion of a brass section. The lyrics described a relationship hindered by the constraints of the working week and the catchy track ‘Billy’ was the b-side. Despite the accompanying video (with the band as mechanics), the single didn’t make the UK chart. Listen to both songs from the single on Spotify here News Congratulations to the band who have reached number one with Girl From The Factory on the Heritage Chart on United DJs Radio. The track has been climbing steadily over recent weeks and has now hit the top spot. It’s a well deserved position for such a great track, well done Dave, Dan, Steve & Michael! Check out the chart here News  The band are being interviewed on All Access Live with Kevin Rankin, which is broadcast on Youtube, sharing stories of life of the road over the years. The programme will be shown at 1PM PDT (9pm GMT) on Tuesday 25th August. Tune in via this link Updated 31/8- if you missed the show at the time, you can watch it online here News  40 years ago this week, in mid August 1980, the band headed to the Antipodes to play a 13 gig tour of Australia. They were their first shows outside the UK and followed on from the chart success of Turning Japanese in the territory. With a packed itinerary, the band also appeared on various TV shows which helped to propel TJ to number 1 in Oz (watch their Countdown appearance here). They were even presented with gold discs on the trip! Cheers to Vinny W for the tour advert News Unfortunately but inevitably, AGMP Promotions have confirmed that, due to the current global situation, the New Clear Days 40th Anniversary tour scheduled for later this year is being postponed until Autumn 2021. Obviously, this is disappointing but the safety of everyone is first and foremost and being able to enjoy the shows without restrictions is a priority. The tour in 2021 will also need to be scaled back in terms of dates because of the uncertain future faced by some venues sadly. Support for the tour is still The 79ers. If you already have a ticket for one of the locations on the rescheduled list, those tickets will remain valid for the new dates, even if the venue has changed. However, if you purchased a ticket for a show that is no longer on the new list of dates, or for any other specific ticket related queries, please contact your point of sale. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Hopefully see you on the road in 2021…  |
