Crush update May 2011

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and raccoons in Rob's yard


We hope you are enjoying the new CD from CRUSH UK - 'Proper Job'


The feedback so far tells us that we have come up with another winner, even better than 'Quiddity', our previous cracker from 2007 apparently.


If compliments were cash, we'd be doing very well thank you :)


There is still a long way to go promoting, marketing and selling the record to the media, but most important to us, is that you like our recordings and buy them ;)


Have a listen and buy 'Proper Job' and our other albums safely and securely via Paypal from crushuk.com



As well as selling our records, we have some exciting events coming up this month and next as well as our 'Tavern Rat' tour of West Coast USA in September.

Tavern Rat tour September 2011


We are sorting out routes and venues where we, UK-Lele will play and drink many a toast to 'Tavern Rat' Don Younger and the Caveman en route around Oregon. Portland and Pacific City are a must, but new places beckon and we hope our hosts Joe and Sue will get us wherever we're going in their trusty RV :)




Our sincere thanks goes to the back room staff of Leslie who takes care of and does battle with our website – crushuk.com


We would also like to thank Chris Daly for the live photos of all of the bands. The man has patience!


Of course, we would be wasting our breath if it wasn't for the people who support us at our shows, buy our records and generally keep our peckers up with compliments, comments and useful suggestions – Thank you



All best wishes


Martin and the Crush collective x
