Burrows made his live debut with the band at a surprise NME awards show at Camden Barfly on February 21, 2010. Demonstrating the more stripped-back guitar-centric sound of Barbara, the band were now performing predominately as a three-piece, without Max Hart, although Hart amongst other musicians would occasionally feature at live shows for performances of “After Hours”. As Burrows was involved in a number of other projects, the band hired Danny Allen to perform and tour with them, with Allen occasionally handling keyboards at shows where Burrows was drumming. The band released their first single from Barbara on April 5, 2010, titled ” Rules Don’t Stop “, which peaked at number 14 in the UK Singles Chart. A second single ” Nice Guys ” was released on June 7, the week before the release of album Barbara . The band would make appearances at a number of major festivals that summer, including T in the Park , Glastonbury Festival and Reading and Leeds Festivals .
