The time has come for us to join the chicken in a basket circuit...

10 years on from the first time we pulled out our 7"s of 'music they
never played on the radio'**, we're gonna do it all again for a special
one-off Track & Field Club at, yes it's true, the Betsey Trotwood,
our spiritual home / grotty central London boozer***.

Three (count 'em) floors of musical mayhem to help you er, party
like it's 1999 all over again...

The TRACK & FIELD Club 10th Birthday Party
Saturday 6th June 2009
The Betsey Trotwood, Farringdon Road, London EC!

To cheer you up on these rather dark Autumnal evenings, here's spanking special offer from Track & Field HQ to help you beat the credit crunch...

Yes, it's the return of the T&F Lucky Dip! Get hold of six (count 'em!) Track & Field CDs in one of our special lucky dip bags. All for the bargain price of 12 whole pounds. You could get anything from Darren Hayman to Homescience but I'm sure you'll agree that's still likely to be nothing less than brilliant.

The 12 pounds price includes shipping for UK punters. If you live elsewhere then drop us an email and we'll discuss terms. And, as before, all the CDs will be different...

Darren Hayman's new album 'Pram Town' (T&F - Heat 51) hit the shops on 26 January. The album is available on CD and download.

A limited edition 4 track CD EP was given away with albums at his instore show at Rough Trade East last week. We still have a few of these and will also be giving them away with any Darren album bought from us. Email info@trackandfield.org.uk for details

If download is your preferred medium for buying music, you could do worse than head to the 7Digital store. They're selling the album for a bargain 5GBP next week. Get it here

'Pram Town' was an affectionate name given to Harlow, Essex in the
early 1950s. The album is a set of songs about someone who doesn't escape. A big fish in a little pond who is thrown a lifeline whilst
fare-evading in a first class train carriage. This record is
about good ideas gone bad. It's about how pride can lose you love.
It's about high and low ambition and the gap between.

...is the latest long player from newest members of the T&F family, The Clientele, who in the US of A are labelmates of Arcade Fire and Teenage Fanclub. This their third LP proper sees the band "release their inner Monkees" with a brighter, happier tint to their shimmery '60s West Coast pop.

In their words, The Clientele are "a lovely blend of Big Star twisted power-pop and country achin', with flashes of the Beatles at their most joyful and upbeat." Just the thing to bring a little sunshine into these dark winter nights.

You can find "God save the Clientele" at your local record emporium or buy it from us now.

You can order all our releases direct from Track & Field. For full details of our back catalogue, and to order online with PayPal or by mail order, check out our online catalogue.
