Hello everybody, welcome to The Tupolev Ghost's ever growing online presence! This is where to come for the most up to date information regarding shows, news and releases etc. but we do also have a myspace page should you be that way enclined.

Have a look around and let us know what you think.

Cheers from The Tupolev Ghost!

You may already be aware of our soon to be departing guitarist/bassist/scream-machine Ben Perry to pastures Swiss (witty Helvetica related comment here). So it's finally come that we are playing our last show together with him on Sunday, 13th July at The Portland in Cambridge and to celebrate, we are pulling something rather beautiful out of the bag. Nothing too major but let's just say it will be a fitting way to End, on End. We'd love to see as many at the show as possible and give Ben the send off he damn well deserves!

Have a look on the Shows page for more information. See you there!

Andy.

When you go to your local shop today, make sure you pick up a copy of Kerrang! and NME as we're featured in both this week! Kerrang! contains a live review of the awesome Rock Sound / Club Fandango show we played last Tuesday with Secondsmile, and 'The Alpha EP' is listed in this week's ‘What’s on the NME stereo?’.

We'll be writing both reviews up in full in the 'Press' section if you haven't the pennies to spare. Big thanks to all involved, you are too kind!

Massive changes here today, meaning that the site should now actually appear on search engines! We've uploaded some images, added this news page and generally cleaned up our act.

In band news, we've got a big'un coming up in the form of the Rock Sound sponsored Club Fandango show at the Dublin Castle in London. It's on the 17th June and is headlined by BSM's excellent Secondsmile and we're in main support, but get there from the start as a little bird tells us Ice, Sea, Dead People are rather great.

Also, as some may know, our guitarist and part-time bassist/vocal cord shredder Ben is leaving, with great sadness, for the greener and more snowy pastures of Switzerland. We have some cards up our sleeves though, watch this space.

Finally, just the vocals to go until the recording for the new EP is finished. It's following on from 'The Alpha EP' in our series of three and is cleverly titled 'The Beta EP'. It features another three tracks, two new and one from 'Take Courage' that we felt has changed so much (for the better, assured) that it deserved a place on this record. Then it's just the small issues of mixing, mastering, artwork and pressing, but we're hopeful for a late Summer release. Excitement!

Lots of news to digest but now we have this dedicated page, it's going to be easier to update in the future. Take care all and look forward to seeing as many as possible at the Dublin Castle on the 17th!

Andy.
