Fletchr Fletchr share new single "Fucking With My Head", announce autumn headline tour of UK
Following the release of their debut EP last year, Fletchr Fletchr have released a new single, "Fucking With My Head", alongside news of a UK headline tour this autumn that includes a London date at Chats Palace on 24 September.
The track arrives with a video directed by Maisy Banks, member of Peckham-based darkroom collective BRAW and auteur behind music videos by mary in the junkyard and Gretel.
Speaking of the track, vocalist Rohan Fletcher shares, “‘Fucking With My Head’ is turning anxiety into a person. Giving that feeling a presence so it’s easier to understand.”
The single follows the band’s debut EP, We All Feel the Same, released last autumn. Fletchr Fletchr formed around songwriters Rohan Fletcher and Adam Sanders, who have been making music together since sixth form college. After going through breakups at the same time, they worked through them by forming the band. The pair were later bonded further by the passing of Rohan’s father, who they say was their biggest fan.
“That’s when he became a Fletcher,” Rohan says of Adam. “We’re doing it in the name of something now, rather than just for ourselves.”
The band also includes drummer Oli Williams and bassist George Green, who contributed to the writing process for the first time on the latest material. After selling out several grassroots venues last year, they completed a debut headline tour that concluded at a sold-out Dome in London’s Tufnell Park.
Fletchr Fletchr played a stripped-back show at The Dartmouth Arms in Tufnell Park on 12 June ahead of summer festival dates at Isle of Wight (19 June), Metronome Festival in Prague (21 June), Wilderness (31 July), Kendal Calling (1 August), 110 Above (21 August), Rock ‘n Roll Circus in Norwich (22 August), and Tunes in the Park (28 August).
The autumn headline tour kicks off at Exeter Cavern on 22 September, followed by Chats Palace in London (24 September), The Gathering Sounds in Stockton (26 September), McChuills in Glasgow (27 September), Sunflower Lounge in Birmingham (28 September), Lions Den in Manchester (30 September), The Waterfront Studio in Norwich (1 October), and The Cornish Bank in Falmouth (4 October). Tickets go on general sale from 19 June.
