The Bluetones & guests: Canned Pineapple - Thursday 23rd October, The Hairy Dog, DerbyThe Bluetones are a band tied to their Brit Pop past but with tunes that begin to transcend it too” – Louder Than War
The Bluetones first came to prominence in 1995, when their debut release ‘Are You Blue Or Are You Blind’ broke into the Top 40. The single proved to be the launching pad for a run that saw 14 hit singles and 6 albums follow on from it.
From thereon, the band, made up of brothers Mark & Scott Morriss alongside Adam Devlin and Eds Chesters, enjoyed considerable UK and Ireland successes, extending out across into Europe and Japan, before taking a hiatus in 2011 that lasted for 4 years.
Since then they have re-established themselves as one of the UK’s most consistently entertaining live acts, regularly touring their extensive catalogue to their army of devoted fans.
2024 saw the band release the first new Bluetones material in 14 years, culminating in a packed out tour across the UK. In 2025, the promise of new music continues, as the band gear up to release more Bluetones joy into the world, alongside a huge tour, taking in some of the prominent cities and towns in the land.
“The Bluetones run the gamut from classic indie-pop to psychedelic-tinged rock with unselfconscious ease” – The Scotsman
Support : Canned Pineapple are a 5-piece scuzz pop outfit based in the UK. The quintet consists of songwriters Seán Drury and Oakley Gardiner alongside guitarchitect prodigy Gabe Rice, sex cymbal Charlie Pringle and sub surfer Sam Cullen.
A band of brothers waggin’ out; Canned Pineapple is the result of interplanetary telekinesis between the great beyond and the great norm.
Over the last 3 years, the band have toured relentlessly worldwide. In 2024 they played their biggest shows ever hitting venues and festivals across the UK, US, and EU playing alongside timeless acts such as LCD Soundsystem, The National, and The Last Dinner Party.
