The great news is that NOTHING else has changed and we are still working hard on touring plans with our fantastic touring bands including – Wicked Smile (AUS), Hearts & Hand Grenades (USA), Cassidy Paris (AUS) & Mad Haven (UK)
So as announced earlier today Hearts & Hand Grenades have been nominated for an award at the upcoming HRH X awards in the ‘International Young Blood’ category!!!
Considering the band had never played a show in the UK until March this year this is some achievement in itself just to be nominated!!!
If you would like to help us and the band please would you consider voting for them, it takes just 10 seconds and no sign ups or subscriptions are involved its just ticking a box, you don’t even have to leave your name or provide any personal info (link below)
If you would like to help further please can you either share this post or the poster & voting link… THANK YOU so much
Congratulations to Hearts & Hand Grenades who have been nominated for the HRH X ‘International Young Blood’ award along with some incredible other bands!!!
The aim when Sweet Little Sister Touring started working with our American friends was simple we wanted to help establish them in the UK and help grow their fanbase here and it looks like hard work is paying off!!!
Thank you to everyone for the support and a massive well done to everyone else that recieved a nomination this morning you are all amazing and we love you all

A huge congratulations to one of our Sweet Little Sister Touring artists Cassidy Paris who announced this evening that she has signed a record deal with Frontiers Music srl, incredibly well deserved and could not have happened to a nicer person, catch her on tour this November/December in the UK – We have dates all over the country for you all to enjoy!!!
Anyway we are pleased to announce on this Sunny lunchtime that our work with the band will be continuing into 2024 and we can now reveal our 1st 3 dates in Swindon, Swansea & London with very special guests Zac and The New Men appearing on all 3 of these 2024 dates!!!
Now that the dust has settled we just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who supported us in Cardiff on Friday night at the latest Midnight Tornado – Music News & Events show, firstly a huge thank you to everyone at FUEL ROCK CLUB the staff & team all gave us another warm welcome, made us feel at home again, looked after everyone well including the bands and were all an absolute pleasure to work & deal with yet again!!!
And finally THANK YOU to everyone who purchased a ticket and showed support, you guys are the real reason that we are able to do what we do and we love you all and cannot thank you enough!!!
*IMPORTANT* So another testing day but we battle on like all good soldiers do!!!
Sadly, we were informed this afternoon that we have lost the last date on our tour on Saturday in Kent due to some issues at the venue BUT we have to say publicly as dissapointed as we all are the venue transferred the full tour package fee over this afternoon and paid every penny that they owed our bands that they agreed to pay so we have to respect them for that, of course the opinion from the bands was that they wanted to earn their fee not just have it handed to them like this but we are obviously thankful nevertheless…
Just announced!!! Hearts & Hand Grenades have announced from the UK this afternoon that ”It’s official, our third studio album ‘Where I Begin’ is on the way!!!”
You can pre-save the bands first single ‘Burn’ (link below)
It will be available through Eclipse Records on ALL streaming platforms on September 22nd!!!
More singles coming soon ahead of January 2024 album release!!!
Only 2 shows left Grenade Brigade!!!
But firstly a big thank you must go out to Rebellion Manchester for last night’s show, the venue are always an absolute pleasure to work & deal with and a massive thanks to everyone who turned out to support live music on a Tuesday night!!!
So this week the fun finally rolls into Wales with shows in Llandudno & Cardiff
After an awesome weekend playing to thousands of fans in Sheffield be sure to catch Hearts & Hand Grenades & SoulSwitch this week before they head back to the USA next week!!!
Firstly – we agreed we had no intention of reviewing tonight as it was a night out to celebrate some old twat turning even older (me lol)
Secondly – it was such a great night we then decided we had to review it which is tricky at my age and no notes taken at all!
The venue was new for us – what it lacks in size (180 cap) it more than makes up for in decent beers, great and welcoming staff and a guarantee you’ll want to go back
First up – the ‘bonus’ band for everyone!
Lowdown had a face (guitarist and singer too!) I’d not seen for more years than we could remember – Dave (from the wonderful Silas) it was so great to see you and catch up.
Not convinced based on tonight you’ll be the openers for too much longer but what a show and what a great discovery (even the wife loved it…..this is probably about as high a praise as I can give haha)
SoulSwitch we knew were from the US and were here with H&HG – we also knew they had to be good to be part of the tour.
With a vocalist that showed control and power in a stunning voice that was, at times, a revelation and a band sat between the metal and rock genre sound and left the room with as many new friends as there were people in the building
Mikey Ball & The Company brought the blues and roll – just enough ZZ Top and Thin Lizzy vibes and sounds to keep the momentum going and the crowd lapping it up
It was clear how much of a great time they appeared to be having and I can only hope this is the beginning of a much bigger adventure for them
Hearts & Hand Grenades had us booking tickets once more (after this years earlier UK tour) literally as soon as we’d seen the announce.
The fact the wife was gone as soon as we walked in (while I obviously went to the bar ) to catch up with them tells you the kind of impact they’d had when we saw them last.
Their humility (in no way amplified by Mike remembering MST when I saw him haha) is a huge part of why we can’t talk highly enough about them. The band were all great company through the evening when we had the chance to chat
As a band I think it’s fair to say they were even better than when we saw them in London with three new songs from their upcoming third album AND a rendition of ‘The In Crowd’ may have helped us reach that decision too
A great ‘All The Small Things’ cover with just about everyone from the other bands who could fit on the stage was mad good fun too
As a band they also seem to thrive on the live show with Steph in particular a real natural live performer and drummer Cory once again pioneering the ‘floating round the drum kit’ technique with his normal prowess
Based on those new songs – frankly take our money……..
Once more our scene surpasses itself with a room full of like minded people and friends to be proud of in itself alongside an evening of music I think we were sad to see end
(Also spotted one of the lovely folk behind the bar with a Bathory tshirt on – props to you, sir)
What a fantastic night our Sweet Little Sister Touring bands had at Subside Bar on Friday night, the show was booked in late on the tour and it turned out to be a killer night for all involved!!!
A big thank you to everyone who turned out at The Victoria Bikers Pub last night to support live music & a massive thank you to the venue & staff there also who were a pleasure to work & deal with…
A big thank you to everyone who turned out at The Gryphon last night on a Thursday night to support live music!!!
We salute you and a massive thank you to the venue & staff there also who were amazing, highly professional, helpful and an absolute pleasure to work & deal with!!!

A big thank you to everyone who turned out last night for Hearts & Hand Grenades in Swindon, was a great night, all 3 bands sounded amazing and the venue were such a pleasure to work with & we would highly recommend using them!!!
Was great seeing some old friends including White Raven Down who all came along to support our night and it was also great making so many new friends and meeting people for the 1st time including Mikey Ball & The Company & SoulSwitch and of course the fantastic team at the Underground Swindon – again we would highly recommend using this venue its amazing!!!
