Our new single 'Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin' will be released throughout the UK on Monday the 24th September. We'll be filming the video with The Leftside, who helped produce our last video, over the weekend.
In other news, we've been scheduled to headline the second stage at the Rip Curl Boardmasters 'Unleashed' festival in Cornwall on Friday the 10th of August, as well as topping the bill at Kerrangs Klub K! night at the Camden Koko on the 18th of August. Click on http://www.ripcurlboardmasters.com and http://www.kerrang.com for more details.
The Kerrang awards are rolling round again, and we'd quite like to go along for free booze and curry. So please! Click on the following link http://www.kerrangawards.com/kerrangawards and vote for us in the "Best British Band" category. Don't forget that by voting you are in with a chance of taking nine mates to the awards yourself! But don't let us know where you are sitting, as we will probably try and steal your curry.
In other news, we released our new album 'In Nothing We Trust' last week, and you can still buy it from shops, but if your local store doesn't have any copies just tell them to order more and they will. They're there to help!
And if you want even more chances to get hold of various Reuben bits of gear, we recently defaced a perfectly good Fender stratocaster which you can win by clicking on http://www.fender.co.uk/misc/pwin_a_strat_guitar_signed_by_reubenp.php and then being very lucky. Good luck!
Finally, you need absolutely no luck at all to watch us confusing and alienating our fans at the Nokia Q&A session we done at download festival. Just click on http://www.rockupandplay.com . It's funny!
Today our third album, 'In Nothing We Trust' was released! We are so excited you guys can all hear it now, and appreciate the awesome artwork by Ashley Wood, and the packaging too! We are very proud of this record and hope that any one who has illegally downloaded it, will buy a copy now.
If you would prefer to download it, then head over to iTunes, 7Digital, HMV Digital, Play Louder and the other ones, but the compact disc is better with it's nice slip case, digi-pack, and booklet! By the way, if your local store has not stocked the album, then ask them to order it in, via Vital Distribution.
Hopefully by now you would have noticed our new lovely web site! Have a nice browse and take a look at the new photos and video section. There's a lovely documentary by Scott Peters, documenting behind the scenes of the 'Blood, Bunny, Larkhall' video shoot. Check it out and talk about it on the forum!
Well, the Kerrang Awards are coming closer and closer, and we would like to ask you all to please vote for Reuben in the 'Best British Band' category. If you vote, you will also be entered in to a draw to win a table at the awards for you and 9 mates! Great stuff.
We really appreciate you efforts, as they put us where we are.
Thanks everybody, and enjoy 'In Nothing We Trust'.
Yo yo yo. Okay here's the deal: This Sunday (June 24th) We play Hyde Park Calling at 7.20pm and rock your little socks off. Then we come off stage and drive straight to Camberley Rock Box for midnight (That's 0:00am Monday 25th), where you are all invited to join us in a signing session and to celebrate the release of our third album 'In Nothing We Trust'. We'll sign posters and CDs for you all, and check out the album together, 9 hours before anyone else can!
In other news, check out the fantabulous reviews of the album in this month's Rock Sound, Kerrang! and other music mags. It's wicked bo! Also, you can check out Kerrang!'s latest podcast to hear what they think about 'Blood, Bunny, Larkhall'. Also, check out Rock Sound TV all this month on your digital telly box for an interview with the band and watch them play some acoustic numbers. Sexy.
Oh and the single is out now. If you don't manage to get one of the limited edition CDs then why not buy it digitally on iTunes, Play Louder, 7Digital or those other ones?
Well, there's probably more, so keep checking back for updates.
PS Album out next Monday. Don't forget, pre-order one for your Nan (She won't be happy if you forget). Oh and please keep emailing dj's asking them to play Reuben!
Apologies to everyone who's received multiple copies of our latest mailout. We are not sure exactly what happened - it looks like it may be a problem with our mailing list provider's queueing software.
We have made them aware of the problem so hopefully it'll be sorted soon.
If you're off to Download festival, then don't forget to be there in front of the main stage at 11.45am on Sunday to watch Reuben's set!
After their set they'll be doing a special ''meet and greet' which you can come to by texting '*MEET Reuben*' to 88188. More details can be found at http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/mobile
The band will also be playing some acoustic songs at Nokia's Rock-Up-And-Play stage at about 6.00pm, and doing a "Q&A session" as well. You can check out their website at http://www.rockupandplay.co.uk
And even if you're not going at all, you can still see the band's set LIVE as it happens through the Download website at http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/webcast/
Sorry boys and girls, for reasons we just don't know, the Xuberance weekend has been totally cancelled, which means you'll just have to buy a ticket to see us on tour in September instead. Boh!
We can now reveal the frankly stunning artwork on the cover of our new single, 'Blood, Bunny, Larkhall', again painted by the incredible Ashley Wood. You can see it below (click on the image to see a bigger version).
In other news, it turns out that it's actually cheaper for Hideous Records to make 1000 copies of the single instead of 500 copies, so that's what we're going to do. Hurrah! It's still probably a good idea to pre-order it from places like HMV, The Rock Box, Record Store, Banquet and all the usual suspecks.
We've been added to the line-up at Xuberance extreme sports and music festival in Llangollen, North Wales, alongside bands like InMe, Reel Big Fish and Enjoy Destroy! Again! Details should be up on the live page soon, and you can check out www.xuberanceweekend.co.uk for details. Yo!
We can now reveal the artwork for our new album 'In Nothing We trust', beautifully painted by celebrated Australian artist Ashley Wood, whose artwork we will be using on all the releases around the album. We're absolutely honoured to have his work gracing the pages of your album, Jim in particular having been a fan for a few years now. Now Ashley is a fan of Reuben! You can see the front cover for the album below, or give it a quick click if you want to see it bigger. You can see more of Ashley's work at www.ashleywood.com.
The tracklisting for the album is as follows:
Cities On Fire
We're All Going Home In An Ambulance
Suffocation of The Soul
Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin
An Act Of Kindness
Crushed Under The Weight Of The Enormous Bullshit
Good Luck
Agony/Agatha
Three Hail Marys
Blood, Bunny, Larkhall
A Short History Of Nearly Everything
Our new single, Blood, Bunny, Larkhall, will be released in shops nationwide and online on Monday the 18th of June. It will feature the b-sides "What's Good For me" and "Girls on Top", a cover of a song by farnborough band Dreyfuss. The CD copies are limited to a run of 500, so pre-ordering is probably a good idea.
The album 'In Nothing We Trust' from which the first single is taken will follow one week later, arriving in shops on the 25th of June.
Meanwhile, you can watch the video for the single on the site loading page from 12:00pm on Monday.
Those of you who attended the Rocked Out 2 course last year at The West End Centre will be pleased to know that they are indeed proceeding with the next best number, 3.
The reason we tell you this is that our very own Jon Pearce will be appearing, much like last year, telling you how to do things if you want to do the bass course. If you like Reuben and the people in it you can go along and be close to him. Unless you are a nutbag with weapons, in which case, you are not welcome at the tea and biscuits session.
Call 01252 408040 for details. www.rocked-out.co.uk
We can now confirm that we're going to be playing at Download Festival in
Donnington on Sunday the 10th of June, kicking off the main stage. Have that
and a bag of crisps!
Also, for all you Irish who are moaning about no Ireland gigs, we've now saved up enough money for the ferry and we're coming over for three dates in October. Please note: this was always the plan, but the dates hadn't been confirmed and therefore could not be revealed until now.
Also, we're doing a few more dates around the summer for various reasons including lost bets and debt settlement, but which should be no less rocking than any other show we do.
Details of all these shows can be found on the Live page right now.
Did we mention we're doing the main stage at Download? Yes sir.
We've now finished the editing of our new video, and it's so good that it might actually blow your face off, and you will write a letter to us saying "Dear Reuben, upon viewing your latest video it was so awesome that it blew my face off. I hope you can understand that this is a severe imposition, especially when attending various committee functions. I would therefore request that you re-imburse me for the cost of a new face" etc but we'll just point out to you that we did warn you in this very news item, so don't even bother thinking about it.
Obviously, we're achig to show it you but we have to wait and make sure that's cool with the rest of our team so until then (and it won't be long), here's a short clip from the filming which we find very amusing. A ha!
