Everywhere they go an army of fans is invited along for the trip, organised by frontman Dominic Masters himself, who posts his mobile number on fans’ websites and readily invites the fans to parties at his flat.

Dom regularly answers more than 150 phone calls a day and their fan club — the 853 Kamikaze Stage Divers — reflects both their antics and the huge numbers of people who cause heart failure for security teams when they invade the backstage area.

Not that they’re the slightest bit unwelcome. Quite the reverse, in fact.

“We have a lot of contact with them through doing gigs and videos,” Dom said.

“We meet new people all the time but they’re quite often familiar names from speaking to them on the phone. I put my phone number up on various websites and I’ve had about 1700 calls. I’ve got about 1300 fans’ phone numbers and loads of emails, so we have constant communication.

“It makes for a big workload but I feel in a privileged position that people contact me all the time. It’s obviously getting difficult the more successful we get as it takes a fair bit of planning and organising, but if you’re committed to not letting people down, you can look after them.”

Given their growing popularity, and the top 20 success of their third single Lackey — it went straight in at number 16 last week and was inspired by his old 9-5 sales job — will there be enough hours in the day to speak to everybody personally in the future?

Dom has only one answer to that.

“No matter how big we get you’ll always be able to catch me, I’ll always be available to speak to people that matter to me.”

That remains to be seen, but the Scottish chapter of the Kamikazes can test the theory out when The Others visit Glasgow’s G2 on February 12.

By the time it was released in October, the threesome had progressed way beyond the stage they were at when it was recorded the previous February.

Signed to local label Pet Piranha Records, they’ve already supported Franz Ferdinand, StellaStarr* and Sons and Daughters, and are approaching the end of their debut headline tour with The Sound Explosion UK, which finishes with what should be a triumphant homecoming appearance at the Reading Rooms tomorrow night.

It’s a tour that’s taken them from the Subway in Edinburgh, through Aberdeen and down into Wrexham, Southampton and London, spreading their raw, edgy, guitar power pop to the masses.

“We’re having a great time, the tour’s gone really well, the crowds have been not bad and they seem to have enjoyed the gigs,” Chris from the band said.

“Merthyr Tydfil was great, everybody was dancing and jumping around so we enjoyed that.

“London was good last night as well, and we’re in Wrexham tonight before heading home.

“We’re all pretty tired now, and really looking forward to coming home.

“Last time we played the Reading Rooms there were about 250 people there even though it was raining really heavily outside.

“So hopefully it’ll be a good crowd to come home to.”

Doors at the Reading Rooms open around 8pm and the Felt clubnight follows the bands.
