Hey Sholay have just announced their September tour dates, as well as their album’s release date, topping off what has been a very busy year for them. The band, a group of musicians, artists and filmmakers hailing from Sheffield and Leeds, have certainly been burning the candle at both ends – when not  releasing singles, they’re playing gigs in paddle boats in Hyde Park, winning awards like The Must See Band of Summer 2012 from BBC 6Music and sending demos to record labels wrapped in faux bear fur.

Amongst all of this though, they have managed to make an album. Titled ((O)) , it is due for release in September and will feature their latest single ‘Burning’, which has been mastered by the Grammy-winning Don Grossinger (The Rolling Stones, R.E.M, Brian Wilson) and is available now through Fierce Panda Records.

Following festival dates in late July and August, they are touring the album, playing the following shows:

SEPT 14TH – BRIGHTON Green Door Store
SEPT 18TH – LONDON Hoxton Bar & Kitchen
SEPT 19TH – BIRMINGHAM The Yardbird
