The Hoosiers experiencing joy of the early days

Where: Stroud Subscription Rooms

When: Thursday, October 19, 7.30pm

2017 marks the 10th anniversary of The Hoosiers' UK No. 1 debut album The Trick To Life and to celebrate, the band has organised a full UK tour, landing at The Subscription Rooms in Stroud for a live show on October 19.

The Trick To Life spawned the indie-pop classics Worried About Ray and Goodbye Mr A, which still pack out indie dance floors a decade later.

Never released on vinyl, the band will be selling a new limited edition vinyl pressing and expanded 2CD edition of their debut when they undertake a huge UK tour that will see them play the album in its entirety.

The multi-platinum success of their debut album raised huge expectations for its follow-up, not least at The Hoosiers' record label. The prophetically titled The Illusion of Safety was, all the band agree, a troubled project from the start.

The News From Nowhere, released in 2014, was an astonishing return to form along with 2015's The Secret Service.

Gone is the self-consciousness of the dog days around their second album; gone, too, the self-doubt. In their place is a deeply rooted - and hard-won - confidence, and a determination to lock back in to the freedom and joy of the early days.

The Hoosiers will be supported by Cheltenham based band The Hawthornes.

Tickets cost £15 in advance and are available from Stroud Subscription Rooms on 01453 760992.
