Drenge Recommended To Labour Leader Ed Miliband

Members of Parliament Tom Watson today resigned from his role as election co-ordinator in the shadow cabinet, but in doing so he also showcased his musical knowledge by sneaking in one final word in his resignation letter to Ed Miliband:

Drenge.

‘John Humphrys asked me why you were not at Glastonbury this weekend. I said Labour leaders can’t be seen standing in muddy fields listening to bands. And then I thought how terribly sad that this is true,’ Watson began by stating. So: be that great Labour leader that you can be, but try to have a real life too. And if you want to see an awesome band, I recommend Drenge.’

Watson’s constituency is West Bromwich East, so he’s probably very connected to the B-town scene.

Sheffield brothers Drenge are about to release their self-titled debut album. The Labour leader has the opportunity to see them playing live at the following venues this autumn:

12 Bath, Moles Club
13 Tunbridge Wells, Forum
16 Guildford, Boileroom
17 Reading, South Street Arts Centre
19 Penzance, Studio Bar
20 Truro, Bunters Bars
21 Milton Keynes, Crauford Arms
