Gigs & Festivals Releases
SCUM announce new single and gigs
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 30 June 2011
Gloomy rock types SCUM will release a new single, ‘Amber Hands’, via Mute on 18 Jul, which will come shortly after the band complete their latest UK tour.
The band have just put the video for the single online, of which director Matthew Stone says: “The word esoteric means ‘That which is hidden’. I like the idea that a band can stand out by disappearing. SCUM hide behind veils of smoke on stage, but with this video I wanted to give them a new visual language; something slow-burning, but euphoric that would have the same effect”. Watch said video below.

3 Jul: Glasgow, King Tut’s
4 Jul: Manchester, The Ruby Lounge
6 Jul: Sheffield, The Forum
8 Jul: Peterborough, Met Lounge

12 Jul: Cambridge, The Haymakers
