Lottery Winners Share Video For New Single ‘Hawaii’
SHARE VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE ‘HAWAII’
Self-titled debut album released March 13th 2020& Announce Their Biggest Show To Date MANCHESTER RITZ | 11th APRIL 2020
Lottery Winners are sharing the video for their new single ‘Hawaii’, taken from their self-titled debut album which is due for release on 13th March 2020 via Modern Sky UK .
Recorded at legendary Rockfield Studios, ‘Hawaii’ is escapist pop at its catchiest and has already picked up early support from the likes of 6 Music and NME. “It’s a pretty weird video, I think” explains frontman Thom Rylance of the new clip, which sees him staring down the barrel of a lens, sat in an inflatable paddling pool surrounded by hula dancers.
“We just wanted to make this grand image that slowly revealed itself, on absolutely no budget. This is the closest you’ll get to Hawaii in Leigh”. Check out the video in all its glory here and don’t miss the cameo appearances from Leo & Fui; two rugby players from the band’s local team who stepped in to lend a hand.‘Hawaii’’ puts Lottery Winners firmly on the map, not only by showcasing the band’s danceable indie hooks & huge choruses, but embodying the band’s playfulness and humour that has already been earning them an enviable fanbase up and down the country.
After being discovered by music industry legend Seymour Stein (who famously signed Madonna, The Ramones, Talking Heads and many more,) Lottery Winners have spent the last two years recording tracks for their debut album….a complete labour of love, with a longer than planned delay due to the well-trodden path of record label disputes and the lengthy process of taking back control. The album was produced by Tristem Ivemy (Frank Turner, The Holloways, Beans On Toast) and mastered at Abbey Road.
Starting in the pubs and working men’s clubs of Lancashire (including the legendary Phoenix Nights) this fierce foursome are bringing back a sense of fun and a fiercely independent spirit, having truly grafted to reap the rewards. Now signed to Modern Sky UK , 2019 has already seen Thom, Kate, Rob and Joe winning over a slew of new fans, stealing the hearts of audiences across the UK and Europe, with support slots for the likes of Catfish and the Bottlemen, Madness, Larkins, The Libertines, Circa Waves, Sleeper, Cassia, Paul Heaton, and a storming Glastonbury debut in June. The band are half way through a headline tour which has already seen them perform to sell out venues across the country and further dates to come this November. In support of the record’s release, the band have also just announced their biggest ever show to date at Manchester Ritz on 11th April next year, with more album tour dates to be announced soon.
Lottery Winners is made of real flesh and bones. It’s made of working-class Britain. It’s made of self-deprecation, dire deprivation and true dedication. Their live shows explode from the stage and stay in the minds of the audience, buried in there forever. They always come back. This is your new favourite band, whether you know it yet or not.
