Enter Shikari biography

They played at Projekt Revolution in Milton Keynes on June 29, 2008, alongside Linkin Park, Jay-Z, N.E.R.D, The Bravery, InnerPartySystem and Pendulum.

Take to the Skies has sold 250,000 copys worldwide, and was certified Gold in the UK.

On 13 May the band released the first in a series of videos called "Enter Shikari: In the 'Low". The videos, posted on the band's YouTube page, showcase the band as they record their new single, "We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don't Want Us To Escape", and demoed new material. One of the new songs set to feature on the album is 'Step Up', which was first performed at Milton Keynes Pitz on June 28, 2008, the warmup show to Projekt Revolution the following day. Footage of the demo being recorded can be seen in the third "Enter Shikari: In the 'Low" video.

On 8 August, it was announced that "We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don't Want Us To Escape" will be released as a single on 3 November. A drastic re-working of the song originally demoed by the band back in 2006, it will not be included on the band's second album, but is rather to be taken more as a stand alone bit of fun.

They recently completed a tour of the UK and Ireland which took place over the course of 6 weeks; from September 30 to November 4; and consisted of 28 shows. A 'bootleg' DVD compilation of live footage filmed by band / crew along with some TV footage was to be released to coincide with the tour according to a Kerrang! interview with the band, but has not been released as of yet.

It was confirmed by NME that Enter Shikari had finished working on their second album, ''Common Dreads'', in March 2009 and announced that they would tour the UK and Europe during 2009. They also made available a free download of a new song, ''Antwerpen'' from their website.
