Amsterdam’s second single Does This Train Stop on Merseyside? has now been put back a week to Monday 25 April due to radio station considerations.

The boys have now filmed a special DVD version for the single as one of the formats for the release. Last Tuesday Ian and Paulie visited most sites in Liverpool mentioned in the song to film a special collectors item DVD version of the song.

The gang did their last show supporting the Wonderstuff on Sunday night in Wolverhampton to another rapturous reception from Stuffies fans.

Those of you under 18 or who have kids who are Amsterdam fans keep your eye on the site, a very special Matinee show for those not old enough to attend Amsterdam gigs is about to be announced, of course adults can attend as well.

Tickets are now available for the special Beat Crazy nights to promote the debut album release in May. Tickets for the special event at the Famous Cavern club in Liverpool on Saturday 7 May are available from www.ticketline.co.uk and tickets for the bands biggest-ever headline show at the London Garage on Friday 13 May are available from www.seetickets.com right now.

Amsterdam will headline two very special Beat Crazy Records nights in May when the debut album is finally released.

The two shows are special events and will feature label mates Ricky as well as other Beat Crazy-affiliated bands.

The first event is to be at the world famous Cavern club on Mathew Street in Liverpool. The venue rarely has touring bands these days but as Ian put it ‘We couldn’t release a single with Mathew Street mentioned in it and not go and play there!’.

It’s also a glorious return to the club for the gang following a couple of sensational sell out show there two years ago. This show takes place on Saturday 7 May.

The following Friday the boys will be playing their biggest ever headlining show yet when they play at the famous Garage venue in Holloway at Highbury Corner.

This is the next step up from The Borderline and the whole night is going to be filmed for a live Beat crazy DVD to be released later on in the year. This show takes place on Friday 13 May.

Tickets information for both shows will appear here very shortly.

Don’t forget, there are also new photos from the January tour now live on the site.

Amsterdam’s second single Does This Train Stop on Merseyside? will be released next month on Monday 18 April.

This is the first time the song has ever been officially released despite the fact that it has already gained classic status mainly due to the fact it was the late great John Peel’s favourite other song.

Just like the band’s debut release The Journey (which hit the UK top 40 at number 32) this single will be available in three different formats. This will include fabulous brand new songs Strangest Girl and John and Paul as well as a mini DVD documentary presented by the band which visits all the major sites mentioned in Does This Train Stop on Merseyside?

Following the magnificent success of the first single the band are hoping they can capitalise upon this with the release of what is widely believed to be their finest moment.

Here we go again everyone!
