The Bluetones formed in 1993 and released their debut album Expecting To Fly in 1996 which entered the UK album charts at number one.

The singles Bluetonic, Slight Return and Cut Some Rug all reached the Top 20 and the band went on to tour all over the world.

Their most recent album A New Athens was released in May 2010.

Sleeper and The Bluetones will play Birmingham's O2 Institute on August 29.
