UK tour
During the last few days of the band's UK tour for their debut album, they've stumbled upon Jarvis Cocker in Central London, in a friendly encounter, they gave him a copy of their album, not knowing that he will play their track "Intro" on his radio show "Sunday Service" on BBC Radio 6 Music the following day.
