Awesome LA neu-noiseniks HEALTH will head out on a DrownedinSound-sponsored UK tour this spring.
The quartet will screech, clatter and dazzle at a glut of Kingdom and Irish venues from the end of April and the first part of May before ploughing ahead as they look to spread word of their brain-blowing debut album (review) to those remote places of Europe where the noise hasn’t seeped yet.
Anyway, full European itinerary:
April 30 Oxford Wheatsheaf
May 1 London Luminaire 2 Vienna Donau Festival (w/ Go! Team) 3 Manchester Charlies Nightclub (w/ Yacht) 4 Leeds Brudenell (w/ Zombie Zombie) 5 Cambridge the Portland 6 Nottingham Bodega 9 Dublin Whelans 10 Glasgow Art School 11 Newcastle End Bar 12 Brighton the Freebutt (w/ PRE DJs) 13 Brussels Nuit de Botanique (w/ Crystal Castles) 14 Ghent Vooruit (w/Six Organs of Admittance) 15 Amsterdam Bitterzoet 16 Rotterdam Worm 17 Utrecht Tivoli 18 Hamburg Westwerk 19 Helsinki Kuudes Linja 20 Turku Dynamo 21 Oslo Spasibar 22 Aarhus Musikcafeen 23 Berlin Westgermany (w/ Birds of Avalon) 25 Leipzig Zorro (w/ Pissed Jeans) 29/30 Barcelona Primavera at Parc Del Forum
