The Zutons are an English indie rock band, formed in 2002 in Liverpool. The band are currently composed of singer, songwriter, and guitarist Dave McCabe, drummer Sean Payne, and saxophonist Abi Harding.
They released their debut album, Who Killed...... The Zutons?, in April 2004 and achieved UK chart success with "Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?" and "Valerie", both taken from their second studio album, Tired of Hanging Around, in 2006. Both singles reached number 9 in the UK Singles Chart.
The band quietly disbanded in 2009, several months after they released the third studio album, You Can Do Anything, in June 2008 with no official announcement. They ultimately reunited in September 2016 for a one-off show billed as "probably [the] last ever" in remembrance of their friend, actor and former Tramp Attack frontman Kristian Ealey.[1] The band remained in contact and in November 2018 announced a spring 2019 tour to commemorate and perform their debut album.[2]

Yes, we've all knocked our heads together and realised we love each other and you lot too, so we're getting back together to tour the first album in its entirety.
