Hello. We’re Art Brut.
We’ve completed the recording of our new album ‘Brilliant! Tragic!’ and working alongside PledgeMusic, we’d like give you a little more than usual and help us go to places Art Brut have never been.
PledgeMusic allows you to pledge towards Art Brut’s dream of touring places that have yet to enjoy the live Art Brut experience. You can get a signed CD or Vinyl before ‘Brilliant! Tragic!’ reaches the stores. But we’re also offering weirder and more wonderful options to a limited number of Art Brut aficionados. What about Art Brut karaoke with Eddie or the whole band playing in your front room.
We’ve also got an exclusive new song for you ‘Unprofessional Wrestling’ available now here as a free download.
We’re also starting a ‘Pledgers Only Updates’ page where we’ll share videos, gigs, conversations, demos, rough mixes, words and photos.
And even better, everyone who pledges will get a free 5 track live download EP! (You may see this referred to on the site as ‘project download’).
As if this wasn’t enough, we are donating a percentage of the profits from the project to housing and homeless charity Shelter, who do incredible work helping to alleviate the massive distress that being homeless, or having a difficult housing situation, can cause. It’s a great cause and we’re happy that you’ll be able to help us help them.
So there you have it. Perhaps you’d like to hear our new album before the rest of the world do. Or perhaps you’d like Art Brut to play in your front room. There’s only one way to make it all happen. Get pledging.
Thank you. Over and out.
Art Brut

A very special launch show for the album on April 9th at London’s intimate Buffalo Bar. The band will play through the album top to bottom plus some other favourites, then hang around and DJ afterwards. You’ll be able to stay, say hello and of course get the live EP download too.
Don’t hang around, this one will go quickly!
EDIT – FRI 8 APRIL: there are a few tickets remaining for the show which have now been transferred to the venue door. Get there early!
We’re working on an exclusive new t shirt for you pledgers, which will be limited and available here before anywhere else. We’ll upload the design as an update as soon as it’s ready so stay tuned.

Pledge here to get Eddie over to yours for Art Brut Karaoke! Eddie will come to your house and sing the entire new album over an instrumental backing track for you. We’ll be running these all together so let us know your location when you pledge so we can work out a routing for the Karaoke tour. We’ll let you know exact detail as soon as it’s locked in. If for some reason you can’t make the date you’ll be able to reverse your pledge.
Everybody loves a house party. Pledge here to invite Ian & Eddie to yours to play some tunes for you and your guests.
Limited to 3 cities currently (London, Manchester, Glasgow) but if you live outside of one of these and want the boys to come to you let us know in the comments!
Pledge here to get the full band along to your house party to play some tunes. Again, limited to 3 cities currently (London, Manchester, Glasgow) but if you live elsewhere and want to bring the band to yours let us know in the comments!
