We are woozy as we continue to play our 35th year with another new tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of our number one album Wake up! as well as hits from C’momn Kids, Giant Steps and more. We will mash-up our extensive back catalogue. Featuring songs never before played live.

Made up of the three, original members, Sice, Brown and Cieka, the quarter of a century between Creation Records’ money-burning approaches to recording and marketing and the new age of independence, The Boo Radleys find themselves in a new, perfect state of freedom. Democratic writing processes and the gift of home technology as powerful as any residential studio of the nineties has set the band on a new path, closer to the targets the trio had in mind all along.
