The band formed in 2006, and appeared on a compilation, The Kids At The Club, later that year alongside Voxtrot, I’m From Barcelona and Lucky Soul. In April 2007, Pocketbooks headlined the first ever Indietracks indiepop event on a 1950s steam railway in Derbyshire, and played shows across the UK. The band also released their debut single, Cross The Line in April 2007, on Atomic Beat Records. A year later, Pocketbooks released an EP Waking Up on Make Do And Mend Records. They also played several summer festivals, including the Offset festival (with Wire, Gang of Four and Young Knives), the Rip It Up festival in Sweden (with The Clientele and Pipas) and a return to the Indietracks Festival (with The Wedding Present, Los Campesinos! and Darren Hayman). The band’s first album, Flight Paths, was released in July 2009 on How Does It Feel To Be Loved?. www.pocketbooks.org.uk |
