L0NDON, October 18/PRNewswire/ -- Levi's(R) Ones To Watch(R) tour 2005 has been announced today. The week long tour will feature EDITORS, The Kooks and Kubichek! in the intimate setting of 200 capacity Barfly venues across the UK.

LOTW launched in 2004 presenting the bands of the future. Year one of the partnership between Levi's(R) and Barfly venues saw hundreds of bands play, including 5 of this year's Mercury Music Prize shortlist. Acts such as Hard-Fi, Maximo Park, and Mylo first took to the stage at LOTW, and have subsequently gone on to be global success stories. This year, we're taking to the road and bring a fine array of the UK's hottest talent to a barfly venue near you.

Headliners, EDITORS, have progressed through the year from debut release, 'Bullets' in January (sold out in two days and currently changing hands for sums in excess of GBP50) to their chart debut with 2nd single 'Munich' (currently gracing 'Football Focus' every week), a Top 20 single debut with 'Blood' and Top 20 album debut 'The Back Room'. Live, EDITORS braved the rain on the Friday at Glastonbury and Radio One Stage at Reading and Leeds in a demonstration that their star was very much in the ascendant. With all tickets for their October headline tour sold out UK these shows are a last chance to see EDITORS up close and personal.

Main supports The Kooks are destined for great things. Signed last year to Virgin Records, the young Brighton-based foursome stormed the charts recently with their head rush of a debut single 'Eddie's Gun', with a sound that encompasses many different genres and continues the lineage of classic English guitar pop dating back to The Kinks and beyond, the band have toured constantly throughout the year, gathering themselves an army of devoted fans. New single 'Sofa Song', released this week.

EDITORS favourites, Geordie fellows Kubichek! utilise the disco beats that have become ubiquitous in recent times, but theirs is a sound that takes its cues from obsessed English bands of the 80s. Get to venues early to catch what The Independent describes as "An energetic and exuberant outfit".
