Hailed as natural successors to Canterbury\u2019s famous folk-prog sound, they not only connected with fans of Caravan, Soft Machine and Gong, but with fans of contemporary artists like Tame Impala, Devendra Banhart and Wolf People. Rave reviews across Q, Mojo, Uncut and The Guardian followed. With the release of the single Dorothy in late 2012, the band had their first taste of UK radio support, scoring plays across Radio 2, 6 Music, XFM, Amazing Radio, NME Radio, Q Radio and more. Greatly inspired by the sonic pioneers of the late 60s and early 70s, they have patiently learned how to engineer, produce and mix themselves, using an innovative hybrid of analogue and digital techniques. They seamlessly mix bucolic, retro reveries, devastating blasts of precision controlled riffing, sweeping folk, fleet-fingered mandolin work and a musical vocabulary that\u2019s as fluently conversant with world music as it is the time signature twists of many progressive artists. The band then finished their 2012 with a sell out headline show at Communion\u2019s club night at The Wilmington Arms, recorded a live session for Daytrotter, were invited by Qthemusic.com to write an in depth blog on world music, received a full page \u2018High Hopes\u2019 feature from Classic Rock magazine (who also included Edge of The Earth as one of their Best Tracks of 2012) and booked themselves a spot at SXSW for this coming March. On Boxing Day, Paul Weller and Bradley Wiggins presented a Radio 2 show of their favourite songs, during which Weller picked Ode To The Summer. He also talked the band up in Uncut magazine in their My Life In Music column (Dec 2012) and even invited them to support him live in Europe. It\u2019s live that Syd Arthur really continue to impress &#8211; their intricate, high-energy live sets, which to date include Glastonbury and Secret Garden slots, have resulted in a large following emerging \u2013 one that is also blossoming in Europe as they continue to pick up tours in France, Belgium, The Netherlands and most recently Italy. When the band hit SXSW in March, they\u2019ll certainly be a must-see.<\/p>\n<p>Headline UK Tour dates, Feb 2013 are as follows:<br \/>\n9th &#8211; BREWERY ARTS CENTRE &#8211; KENDAL<br \/>\nAdv Tickets: \u00a37.50<br \/>\nDoors: 8pm<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.breweryarts.co.uk\/music\/listing\/syd-arthur <\/p>\n<p>10th &#8211; THE MAZE &#8211; NOTTINGHAM Adv Tickets: \u00a36 (\u00a34 NUS) Doors: 8pm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wegottickets.com\/event\/197835\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.wegottickets.com\/event\/197835<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>11th &#8211; OPORTO &#8211; LEEDS <a href=\"http:\/\/oportobar.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/oportobar.co.uk\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>12th &#8211; BAND ON THE WALL &#8211; MANCHESTER Adv Tickets: \u00a37.50 Doors: 7.30pm <a href=\"http:\/\/bandonthewall.org\/events\/3720\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bandonthewall.org\/events\/3720\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>13th &#8211; BROADCAST &#8211; GLASGOW Adv Tickets: \u00a37 Doors: 8pm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pclpresents.com\/shows.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.pclpresents.com\/shows.html<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>14th &#8211; ROISIN DUBH &#8211; GALWAY <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roisindubh.net\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.roisindubh.net<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>15th &#8211; WHELANS &#8211; DUBLIN Adv Tickets: \u20ac6 online, \u20ac8 on the door Doors: 7pm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.communionmusic.co.uk\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.communionmusic.co.uk\/live\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>19th &#8211; LOUISIANA &#8211; BRISTOL Adv Tickets: \u00a36 Doors: 8pm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wegottickets.com\/event\/197838\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.wegottickets.com\/event\/197838<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>20th &#8211; SEBRIGHT ARMS &#8211; LONDON Adv Tickets: \u00a37 Doors: 8pm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.communionmusic.co.uk\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.communionmusic.co.uk\/live\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>21st &#8211; STICKY MIKES FROG BAR &#8211; BRIGHTON Adv Tickets: \u00a37 Doors: 8pm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.communionmusic.co.uk\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.communionmusic.co.uk\/live\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>www.sydarthur.co.uk<br \/>\nwww.dawnchorusrecordco.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Syd Arthur emerged in 2012 with their debut, self-recorded, self produced, self released album On An On, it didn\u2019t take long for them to rocket to critical acclaim.
