Some two and a half years after the release of his Mercury nominated debut album 'Panic Prevention’, Jamie Treays is set to cement his status as one of the UK’s most genuine and exciting young musicians.
His return this year kicked off with the release of the 'Sticks’N’Stones EP’ in May. The rabble-rousing title track was adopted as the unofficial anthem of the summer and has gone on to sell over 50,000 copies to date.
A sold-out UK tour with his band The Pacemakers segued straight into a stand-out performance at Glastonbury. He recently announced his biggest tour to date in October, culminating in a show at Brixton Academy which has already sold out.
In keeping with his intention to release a series of EPs, August 31st sees the release of the 'Chaka Demus EP’ on Virgin Records.
It features four new tracks:
1. Chaka Demus’
2. 'Forget Me Not (The Love I Knew Before I Grew)’
3. 'Planning Spontaneity’
4. 'When They Are Gone (For Tim)’.
Jamie T is the penultimate headline act on the NME/Radio One stage at the Carling Festival at Reading and Leeds on August 28th and 30th respectively. He then tours Australia before returning to the UK in October for a 14 date tour.
