The Sharp Darts upcoming Acoustic EP will be launched on the 18th of April with a free gig at The Yardbird, Birmingham!

We are very happy to announce our launch party for the acoustic EP. We still have a bit to do (a lot actually!), but we're getting to that stage where things will start to come together quickly.

Having just bought a new condenser mic, we have improved the quality of a recordings and now we can crack on and get the guitar parts and vocals tracks laid down this month.

We still haven't decided on which tracks will make the final cut, but we have a shortlist of songs to record, anything that doesn't make it will be released as either a single, or a free download.

The Sharp Darts are happy to announce a new gig date, supporting Proud Mary!

The Birmingham leg of their Spring/summer tour promoting new album "Ocean Park" stops by The Other Room at the Birmingham Ballroom (Formerly Academy 2) on the 8th April, and we'll be there to join in the fun!

We don't yet know who else is on the bill and we don't know what it's going to cost for entry/tickets. What we do know is; it's going to be a great of of quality rock n roll and you'll want to be there!

As soon as we have more info, we'll let you know.

The Sharp Darts head to Manchester this weekend, however, there has been a slight change of plan. We are now playing The Castle in Oldham.

If you are one of the people coming with us who, like us, has your accommodation and transport all booked, then we'd like to offer our sincere apologies for the change of venue. It is a bit of a trek outside Manchester to the venue, but hopefully we can all have a good time.

There was a mix up with Bar Centro double booking, leaving the promoter, and us, without a gig. Thankfully a little "the show must go on" mentality and a little help from another local promoter found us somewhere to play, albeit a little further away that we had originally planned.

Next weekend The Sharp Darts will be off to Manchester! With a live gig on Saturday and live acoustic radio performance on Sunday, it's set to be a great weekend away!

We'll be heading up to the north west to play Bar Centro in Manchester's Northern Quarter. It's gonna be a great gig and best of all we've got a bunch of our favourite Brummies coming up with us!

We're going to be staying over in Manchester ready for a radio show for Indie Rocks! Manchester, which is broadcast on North Manchester FM and manchesterradioonline.com live on Sundays from 5pm til 7pm, so make sure you tune in! (Sunday 29th January)
