Creeping Jean announced as main support on Rival Sons summer Tour
Young Brighton band Creeping Jean championed by BBC6 Music, have been announced as main support for Double Grammy-nominated American rock’n’ roll band Rival Sons on their UK & European tour this June and July.
Creeping Jean frontman Olly Tooze states: “It is beyond exciting to be joining Rival Sons on tour this summer, we’ve loved them since we first saw them at isle of white festival years ago, stylistically / musically / sartorially it couldn’t be more perfect. To be picked by them to tour UK & Europe, our first big tour, is huge for us. Thanks Rival Sons for giving us a shot! Looking forward to getting on that stage and playing to Rival Sons fans !”
Creeping Jean will release their forthcoming new album “Business Is Dead” on August 2nd 2024. Check out the new video for “Sassy Got Shakes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZs4k_xNZdE
“Sassy Got Shakes” tells the tale of being mesmerised by some serious moves at a festival. Frontman Olly Tooze recalls: “This song is the tale of someone exhilarating that caught our eye at a festival… they were just completely owning the vibe.
She was demanding the whole dance floor in a drenched mosh pit so ‘sassy got shakes’ came to mind. Even in the rain she set the tone and created a hell of an atmosphere that just lifted everyone! ‘She’s Saturday night, disco fever! She’s Saturday night, Karate receiver!’ Battling anyone in the way. Was a legendary performance.”
New Creeping Jean record “Business Is Dead” out August 2nd on Mature Charlton via Townsend Records. Working away over a hot vintage garment rail, Creeping Jean know all about the vintage business. Their knowledge and hustle, which funded both their first album and this new record speaks to their commitment and dedication, both to the 60’s and 70’s and to making Creeping Jean work.

“Business Is Dead” was recorded in Eastbourne at Echo Zoo and produced and engineered by Dan Crook. Bassist Kirk Steaggles states “This album has more of a uniform vibe all the way through, this is more of our signature sound.” he continues “We were concentrated there, mainly ’cause there was f*ck all else to do and it’s a cosy studio with great gear”.
The band’s critically acclaimed debut album “When’s The Blowout?” 2022, was financed from the sale of five thousand pairs of Converse via their Brighton based Mammoth Vintage shop and at carboot sales. Again, for “Business is Dead” Olly found himself hustling to Arundel flea market at 4.30am to raise the funds.
