Love Police Touring announces an extensive national tour throughout June/July for UK's, Ben Ottewell. Familiar to a faithful following as the most recognizable voice in Mercury Prize-winning Southport five-piece Gomez, Ottewell released his first solo album, Shapes & Shadows, via ATO/Shock Records in 2011.

While Gomez is a three-singer band, Ottewell's powerful tenor has graced many fan favorites, from early songs like 'Get Miles' and 'Revolutionary Kind' to the more recent singles 'How We Operate' and 'See The World.' In one early profile, Rolling Stone declared, "Gomez's not-so-secret weapon is Ben Ottewell. His deep, raspy voice is spine chilling... more like an otherworldly bluesman than a baby-faced Brit." And GQ once wrote, "Ottewell's voice is not of this world. It is a deep, reverent baritone, the kind of voice that shakes windows."

Fans can expect Ottewell to play songs from his 2011 solo album Shapes & Shadows, classics from the Gomez catalogue plus his favorite covers. Whether you're a Gomez fan or would just like the chance to witness one of Britain's finest vocalists in such intimate settings, make sure to check out Ben Ottewell when he tours Australia this winter.

"It was clear the crowd wanted to stay on the ride as there was a stubborn pull for an encore and audience members bidding for 'just five more, just five more'."
