Unbelievable Truth

Unbelievable Live Performances

Unbelievable Truth play two unusual gigs

The British are one of the few nations who queue, so the tourists walking the streets of Oxford on a warm Sunday night could have been mistaken for thinking that the queue of four hundred people outside Virgin Megastore was an added attraction to the city of dreaming spires.

They would have been wrong, but then they didn't know that Oxford's latest prodigal sons, Unbelievable Truth were playing inside the store.

Unbelievable Truth opened with their Shifty Disco debut single, shortly followed by Solved, the atmospheric Angel, Forget About Me and Stone which were all mixed in with two new tracks. A deliciously delicate vocal solo by Andy Yorke Whose Side Are You On? and Landslide. Finishing with Higher Than Reason the queue formed once again, this time to meet the band and buy the album.

It took over an hour to dissipate, although it was the quietest most orderly of queues, but then this was an Unbelievable Truth gig and there's method in their melancholy.

The story doesn't end there! Every album bought that night, and every other copy of Almost Here contains a web link to the band's site. On arrival punters were asked to vote for their favourite three songs from the album. Here are the results

Higher Than Reason
Solved
Building

These three songs were then played live from Nigel's front room and broadcast over the web on Friday 22nd May at 6pm (BST). Don't worry if you missed it. We recorded the performance and it is still available for your pleasure.

The band have also set up a new competition. With band fleeces, T-Shirts and signed albums to be given away. All you have to do is write a review of the album! Check it out!
