DiS is pleased as a pig rolling in the very finest shit to inform you that we're right behind the July tour by Sheffield keyboard-core screamers Rolo Tomassi (pictured) and Guildford/London-based avant-garde alt-rockers Meet Me In St Louis.
By which we mean we're sponsoring it. We're not lurking behind little Eva, all evil-eyed and grinning nastily. Oh no no no - she'd beat the crap out of us if we did. Check out the flyer here.
July dates as follows...
July 14 London Barfly 15 Oxford The Cellar 16 Cardiff Barfly 17 Bristol The Croft 18 Birmingham Barfly 19 Leicester Firebug with Lovvers and Public Relations Exercise 20 Mansfield The Mill 21 Leeds Brudenel Social Club 22 Worcester TJ's 23 York Barfly 24 Manchester The Phoenix 25 Glasgow Barfly 26 Aberdeen Cafe Drummonds 27 Sheffield The Corporation
The eagle-eyed among you might notice that the London date is the same day as SuperSonic in Birmingham, which means I can't bloody well go. Balls. Does someone want to put me up in either Leicester or Bristol...? Or anywhere, for that matter.
In related news, the ever-so-awesome MMISL are on tour with the equally ace Secondsmile from tomorrow. Dates below...
May 24 Cardiff The Barfly 25 Sheffield The Corporation 26 Leeds Dry Dock (free entry) 27 Birmingham Flapper and Firkin 28 London Water Rats (w/ We Are Carnivores, Tatsunoko's Bear) 29 Leicester Firebug 30 Bristol The Croft
A split single featuring tracks from both MMISL and Secondsmile will be available at all dates, and in shops from June 11. Neat!
