January Tour Announced (ticket links included)

Hey up y’all, Just a quick hello from me, in light of last week’s London show, and Saturday’s punk-rock marathon in Mexico City (cheers to all of those that made it to either show).

But that’s all in the past now, because I’ve got some exciting shit to tell you about 2008! January, to be more exact. That’s right. The Christmas Dinner will have hardly been digested but on Jan 16th we are hitting the road for our first UK tour in over a year! It’s a UniLive thing, so we’re mostly rocking the house in venues we’ve never played before, and, seeing as the record still won’t be out by then, we’ll be keeping it nice and intimate in an extended tribute to the success of the King’s College show last week.

We’re chomping at the bit to get back out there and play these tunes every night, and we’ll be making sure that a few of the songs that seemed to have been banished to the ‘never again’ pile may make a re-appearance. This tour will be ‘purely belter’, as they say in our neck of the woods, so please do everyone a favor, and get involved with a ticket or two when they go on sale this Wednesday (December 5th 2007).

The dates are:

16/01 Union of Brunel Students – The Academy (18+)
17/01 University of Hertfordshire Students’ Union – The Font (18+)
18/01 Warwick Students’ Union – The Marketplace (14+)
19/01 Loughborough Students’ Union – Room 1 (14+)
21/01 Hull University Union – Asylum (18+)
22/01 Liverpool Guild of Students – Stanley Theatre (14+)
23/01 Preston – 53Degrees (18+)
24/01 Strathclyde Students’ Union – Level 8 (18+)
26/01 University of Sheffield Union of Students – Foundry (14+)
27/01 Leeds University Union – Mine (18+)
28/01 Norwich – The Waterfront (14+)
29/01 Bournemouth Students’ Union – The Old Fire Station (18+)

Ticket from all dates will be available from ticketweb.

You can also enjoy footage of us blasting through ‘Broke Up The Time’ in rehearsals for the fan-club gigs a few weeks back. Similarly lo-fi as the studio footage used to accompany the track last month, more and more of these DIY videos will be made available over the coming weeks.

Ok folks, that’s all for now, I’m currently bed-ridden in Mexico after a nasty case of exploding guts – I’m sure there’s a medical term for it….

See you shortly!
