After starting 2009 with two warm-up shows for their tour of Japan in Scarborough and Crewe (which was a rescheduled gig from the previous tour and had appeared on early promotional posters), the band later on in May announced that Feeder had “ended their partnership” with drummer Mark Richardson, who returned to his original band Skunk Anansie. Mark was replaced by session drummer Karl Brazil who had just come off tour with James Blunt , and had also played drums for British band Ben’s Brother . Karl’s first live appearances with the band, after a series of university events were at the UK leg of the Sonisphere Festival , stating that this would be their only UK festival appearance of 2009, as they would be working on their seventh studio album. It was then later announced that they would be appearing at the Hevy Music Festival in Folkestone . Here they previewed a new track titled “Sentimental”, with the announcement that they had been in a recording studio in South Wales. The following day the band then played the Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth, which would ultimately be touring guitarist Dean Tidey’s final show with the band.
