The Parkinsons take the Streets Of London around the UK
oappleby by Ollie Appleby September 8th, 2002
Gaining notoriety as the *ahem* 'punk rock So Solid Crew', The Parkinsons release their very first bona fide 45 through Fierce Panda and tour the world! Well, the UK at least...

The UK Chart Top 100 scraping 'The Streets of London EP' features a whole three brand spanking new songs, 'Bedsit City', 'Somerstown' and 'Pill'. The single is available on 7" and CD now.

'Streets of London' is the follow up to The Parkinsons' mini album 'A Long Way to Nowhere' released earlier this year.

After a 2nd-to-top slot at the Reading and Leeds festivals (turning into a headline slot at Leeds due to Ikara Colt messing around the previous day) The Parkinsons head out on there first headline tour starting in September with a *new* london date added at the end. Dates are as follows: -
