Art Brut announce line up change just days before UK tour


Who is in the picture you might ask? Well, it's the new line up for Art Brut of course! With only five days to go until the Berlin-based English and German indie rockers begin their UK tour, they've just announced a change in line up with drummer Mikey Breyer and guitarist Jasper Future respectively retiring from the band.
But, as the old saying goes, "as one door closes, another one opens" and the band have welcomed Toby Macfarlaine (guitar) and Stephen Gilchrist (drums) into the fold to restore the band back to its original five-piece line up.

In regards to the changes, frontman Eddie Argos has said : "Being a classic rock band isn't all just laps of honour round the World, and photo shoots in Rolling Stone, it also involves personnel changes. So after 10 years and 8 years of playing with them respectively we say goodbye to Mike and Jasper. Press releases are not the best place for fond farewells but it's been a blast and we'll miss them...... It's now time for Art Brut Mk III. Hello to Toby and Stephen. Lets start ROCKING THE FUCK OUT. See you in September!"
