So we are going to be back out there after our 6 week break (longest we may have ever had, incidentally) for some festivals and a few one-off club dates. Starting with a not-so-well-kept-secret support show at the Shepherds Bush Empire with our friends Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks on Thursday the 5th of June, where we are planning on playing a full B-sides only set for the first time.

I am in Milan as I type playing roadie/ligging on tour with the Jicks and I can tell you that they are laying waste right now, so put on too much damn cologne and your best brown pinstripes and come on down for a spellbinding evening!
After that is a one-off show at Middlesborough Empire on the 7th of June....ahhh Middlesborough. feel like we haven't been there since the pre new fellas days of the self-booked, play anywhere for diesel money days. It is also home to the worlds worst McDonalds, but the shows were always memorable.

Then a bunch of festivals blahblahblah - 'tis the season YOU SEE? and then another one-off show at the Kasbah in Coventry on the 12th of June. I should mention that we will be bringing some hot new talent as well as friendly old faces as support on these shows, but you will just have to wait and see for now.

bye for now
