16 September 2009 The Temper Trap - sold out UK tour + Florence and the Machine support
Following their phenomenal success in the UK since arriving here just five months ago, The Temper Trap, currently enjoying their first Top Twenty hit with ‘Sweet Disposition’, head out on the road this month on their first sold out UK tour. The single is taken from their debut album ‘Conditions’ which was released by Infectious Records in August.
Those lucky enough to have already caught the band’s atmospheric and epic live show at Glastonbury, T in the Park, Latitude and Reading & Leeds will understand such breathless reactions as NME proclaiming “this band are destined for major things’” and The Fly declaring that they will “soundtrack the summer”. The band’s London show, originally booked at the Relentless Garage, was recently upgraded to Heaven.
The band will support Florence & The Machine on her December tour and in addition have just announced another London headline show at Koko on December 21st – tickets for their Koko show go on sale on September 17th – buy on line at www.livenation.co.uk / credit cards: Tel 0844 477 1000 (24 hrs).

The current single ‘Sweet Disposition’, released the week before their remarkable album (August 3rd) was recently described by the NME as ‘… a beatific, calm-evoking four minutes of lingering, floating melodies…’
“A moment, a love, a dream, a laugh, a kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs”
