some of yall may have heard them on Kanye's Paranoid but Mr Hudson & The Library are a band based in London, whose members hail from both that city and Birmingham. This duality was the inspiration for the title of their debut album A Tale of Two Cities, which was released on 5 March 2007. They are signed to music producer Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label & Mercury Records.
The band first came to prominence after featuring on Later with Jools Holland on 8 December 2006.[2]
They also received airplay from Dermot O'Leary on his BBC Radio 2 show.
In 2007 embarked on a tour through 12 British libraries, and also supported Amy Winehouse on her tour, along with Paulo Nutini, Mika and Groove Armada and went on their own headlining tour.[3]
During the Summer of 2007 they appeared at several UK festivals, such as Glastonbury, T in the Park, The Big Chill, V Festival and Bestival.
On October 19 2007, the band played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in support of The Police. They will also support Kanye West on his Europe leg of his Glow in the Dark Tour.
On 11 November, 'There Will Be Tears' was given its first UK radio air-play on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show as 'The Hottest Record in the World Right Now'. Mr Hudson's new album 'Now I See' is set for release in 2009
