Morning Parade Exclusive iTUnes Live E.P. Out Today

UK artists, Morning Parade, celebrate the kick-off of their extensive U.S. tour by releasing an iTunes exclusive live E.P. today entitled SE1 Live Session. Recorded last year in South East London, the E.P. features live versions of 5 tracks taken from their debut self-titled release out now on Astralwerks (tracklisting below). Check out this live video from the sessions for the song “Us & Ourselves.”

Having just played to 60,000 people in London's Hyde Park for the Coca Cola Olympic Torch Relay, Morning Parade will make their network TV debut on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on August 20th followed by a September/October U.S. tour as special guests of The Wombats.

The band also recently released their self-titled debut album which was quickly chosen as the iTunes Editor’s Choice and “Headlights,” the first single, is steadily climbing the Alternative radio chart and in rotation at mtvU and Palladia.

Morning Parade has been consistently blowing away audiences this year with their spectacular live shows including dates as special guests of The Kooks in March, a six performance run at SXSW, and a tour with Walk the Moon this past June. The band also recently premiered their video on RollingStone.com.

2011 saw the band selling out UK and European headline tours, playing to packed out tents at V Festival, touring with the likes of 30 Seconds to Mars, The Wombats and The Kooks, supporting Biffy Clyro at Ibiza Rocks and sharing a stage with Coldplay at Rock am Ring.
