SUMMARY:Hey Colossus
LOCATION:Preston The Continental
DESCRIPTION:- The HEY COLOSSUS group began in 2003\, is now 15 albums deep
 \, and has never felt more alive. Forever changing. Always pushing forward
 . Merging the repetition of Oneida and The Fall with touches of Gang Of Fo
 ur / Lungfish / Sabbath. Releasing music on their own label (Wrong Speed R
 ecords) they've taken controls of the means of production and are steamrol
 ling positively on. The band has played way over 600 gigs throughout Europ
 e including Sonic Whip (Netherlands)\, Supersonic (UK)\, Milhões de Festa
  (Portugal)\, la Ferme Electrique (France)\, and Handmade Festival (Italy)
 . In the past they've worked with Mark Lanegan\, Nik Turner (Hawkwind)\, D
 aniel O'Sulliavan (Miracle / Relapse Records) and many more. They've relea
 sed records on Riot Season\, Rocket\, Wrong Speed and Learning Curve. 2020
 's album\, Dances/Curses\, was The Quietus album of the year. They have no
 w recorded six BBC sessions and made it into the UK album charts with each
  of their last four albums.HC band members have been in\, or are in\, nume
 rous other projects\, a wide sounding list of groups. From Haress to PJ Ha
 rvey via Joeyfat\, Navigator\, Grey Hairs\, AAA Gripper\, Reigns\, Kogumaz
 a\, Spleen\, Mute Servants\, and Sloath. HC is a big focus\, a focal point
 . Every band is connected. This is the product of the history of the playe
 rs.They recorded their most recent album\, Heaven Was Wild\, in November o
 f 2024 . The week before the recording session they played four sold out L
 ondon shows over one weekend - in the North\, South\, East\, and West of t
 he city - playing the new album\, getting it tight. The album was released
  in March of 2026 (Wrong Speed Records in the UK\, Learning Curve in the U
 SA). The band had gone quiet. No gigs leading up to the album. No gigs aft
 er the album. No live performances for two years - the London gig weekend 
 of October 2024 being the band's last shows.They were working behind the s
 cenes. The line-up was mutating. They'd known Tom House for years. His ban
 ds Charlottefield and Sweet Williams are irrepressible\, just like he is. 
 An infectious melody. A twisted lyric. An ear for the dark. Tom was the pe
 rfect replacement for former frontman\, Paul\, who has taken a step back f
 rom music and is focussing elsewhere.Keeping some old songs but also worki
 ng on an entirely new set the band toiled in Birmingham and Somerset. Long
  weekends. Regular get togethers. Getting it correct. Two years of rehears
 als and writing. So\, now\, with a new front person\, fresh fire and a who
 le new set of songs the band is taking it out. There will be a new album i
 n 2027. There will be WAY more live shows. Onwards.PLUS SPECIAL GUESTS TBA
