The Victorian English Gentlemens Club will release their new single 'Bored In Belgium' on 25th January next year, backed by non-album tracks 'The Woodsmen', 'Parrot (Live At Xfm)' and 'Bored To Death In Belgium'.

The track is the third single to be taken from the band's second album 'Love On An Oil Rig', following 'Parrot' and 'Watching The Burglars'.

Speaking of their inspiration for 'Bored In Belgium', the band explain: "Belgium has one of the highest suicide rates in Europe - while we were there we passed 'Happy Street', so named to tackle the issue. It was complete with signs asking people to smile at each one another as they passed in cars. European tours do inevitably involve the 168 mile drive across the flatness - we do get mildly bored by that."

The Victorian English Gentlemens Club are: Louise Mason (bass), Adam Taylor (guitar/vocals), Daniel Lazenby (drums) and Steph Jones (guitar). Emma Daman also features on the album, and you can catch her new band Islet on Huw Stephens' Happy Huw Year tour next year.
