British band DeeExpus revealed
the title of the follow up to their highly acclaimed debut album “Half Way
Home”.

The New Album, entitled "King of Number
33", is planned to be released around May 2010 to coincidence with the
band’s first ever gig in USA at ROSfest 2010.

Andy Ditchfield: “Writing
and production has begun in earnest and will feature all members of the band. At
present we have two songs almost completed alongside a multitude of recorded
ideas, riffs and passages. As we did with Half Way Home, we are hoping to post
one or two videos on YouTube during the course of the albums production, so stay
tuned for those.”

You can already have a sneak preview of
"King of Number 33" as one of the new tracks - “Me And My
Downfall” - was recorded at soundcheck during the band’s most recent
tour with Touchstone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdNsFFm7NOg.

Tony Wright explains the lyrical
concept behind the forthcoming album: "The King of Number 33 is a tale based
loosely on a local eccentric from my childhood. This man used to sit behind the
driver on the local rural bus all day, every day, for several years - never
saying a word to anyone, never going anywhere- just backwards and forwards
between the two towns until the route finished for the night and he would go
home and wait for the morning journey. One day he disappeared and rumours
abounded amongst the local youth as to what happened to him. It transpired that
Social Services became involved after a complaint from a member of the public
that he'd made her feel uneasy. He hadn’t done anything, she was just ignorant.
Anyway, he was subsequently refused travel on the bus and proceeded to have
psychotic episodes culminating in his being sectioned under the mental health
act. The King of Number 33 is my take on his story..."
