Levi's(R) Ones To Watch(R) Presents LOTW Tour: EDITORS + The Kooks + Kubichek!

L0NDON, October 18/PRNewswire/ -- Levi's(R) Ones To Watch(R) tour 2005 has been announced today. The week
long tour will feature EDITORS, The Kooks and Kubichek! in the intimate
setting of 200 capacity Barfly venues across the UK.

5th December London Barfly
6th December Cardiff Barfly
7th December Liverpool Barfly

9th December York Barfly (Fibbers)

LOTW launched in 2004 presenting the bands of the future. Year one of the
partnership between Levi's(R) and Barfly venues saw hundreds of bands play,
including 5 of this year's Mercury Music Prize shortlist. Acts such as
Hard-Fi, Maximo Park, and Mylo first took to the stage at LOTW, and have
subsequently gone on to be global success stories. This year, we're taking to
the road and bring a fine array of the UK's hottest talent to a barfly venue
near you.

Headliners, EDITORS, have progressed through the year from debut release,
'Bullets' in January (sold out in two days and currently changing hands for
sums in excess of GBP50) to their chart debut with 2nd single 'Munich'
(currently gracing 'Football Focus' every week), a Top 20 single debut with
'Blood' and Top 20 album debut 'The Back Room'. Live, EDITORS braved the rain
on the Friday at Glastonbury and Radio One Stage at Reading and Leeds in a
demonstration that their star was very much in the ascendant. With all
tickets for their October headline tour sold out UK these shows are a last
chance to see EDITORS up close and personal.

Main supports The Kooks are destined for great things. Signed
last year to Virgin Records, the young Brighton-based foursome stormed the
charts recently with their head rush of a debut single 'Eddie's Gun', with a
sound that encompasses many different genres and continues the lineage of
classic English guitar pop dating back to The Kinks and beyond, the band have
toured constantly throughout the year, gathering themselves an army of
devoted fans. New single 'Sofa Song', released this week.

EDITORS favourites, Geordie fellows Kubichek! utilise the disco beats
that have become ubiquitous in recent times, but theirs is a sound that takes
its cues from obsessed English bands of the 80s. Get to venues early to catch
what The Independent describes as "An energetic and exuberant outfit".
