Casuals Hit The April Road

Corsham

band Corinthian Casuals have announced details of a four date ‘mini tour’ of

North Wiltshire that will be taking place over the next couple of weeks.

At a

hastily arranged press conference at the Jaipur Indian restaurant this lunch time, lead singer and rhythm guitarist Stu Joslin revealed that the gigs,

which he has dubbed the ‘Local Zeros Inc.’ tour, will start at Corsham’s very

own Two Pigs on Monday 11th April, and then take in Bradford on Avon

and Box before ending in Atworth nearly two weeks later.

‘We’ve

been off the road and in the rehearsal studio for the past couple of weeks,

getting our teeth into some new covers and also breathing some life into old

ones.' said Joslin, in between mouthfuls of his favoured Chicken Madras. 'I think we’re sounding really good and can’t wait to unleash our latest

stuff onto the people that come to the gigs, and see what they think.’

'It's great that we're kicking off the shows in our home town and at the Two Pigs once again, it's always an honour and a pleasure to play there and we always look to raise our game and give that little bit extra for the home supporters, as it were. And if they're sufficiently impressed that they want to buy a CD at the end of the night, all the better!'

When

asked if the band, the rest of which consists of lead guitarist Alex Mitchell,

21, bass guitarist John Boddington, 23 and drummer Tom Page, 19, had been

working on any new original material, 22 year old Joslin remained coy, and

blamed himself for any stalling in the creative process.

‘I’ve

been writing bits and pieces over the last few months, but nothing has come as

easy as ‘Pop Band’ did as of yet…that song was done and dusted in about fifteen

minutes, and that kind of tune only comes along once in a while. I’m doing my

best though and there are a few things in the works – I’ve got one called ‘What

I Just Don’t Have’ that I’m pretty proud of and I’m planning to let the boys

loose on soon.’

Joslin

also revealed that the band will be followed by video cameras during the course

of the two weeks they’re ‘on the road’, for a new self produced documentary

about the band.

‘It’s not

the first time we’ve tried to do something like this - we made a film last May,

when we played eight gigs in four weeks – but it runs to over an hour so it’s

impossible to get it on the web. Hopefully this time round we’ll be able to get

it onto YouTube in a few parts, to give viewers an inside look at what it’s

like to be in the band. It’s mostly sitting in the van and arguing about

whether The Sweeney is better than Minder, but we’ll edit that out and just

keep the interesting bits in.’

Full

will start at around 9pm.
