Well, there's five of the finest indiest to recommend - DiS' own Komakino and Redjetson, plus Battle, New Rhodes and Forward Russia all entwined on one giant super multi limbed tour of fun. Oh, and Dogs, The Cribs, TCTC, The Rakes, Reading/Leeds and all sorts of fun. Of course, this isn't necessarily a DiS tour by name, but goddamit, we're going to appropriate it as such. Anyway, here are the details for what we doth proclaim to be the '2005 I Predict A Suntan Tour'...
...oh, and one more thing - we'll be picking out winners for the comp below (just fill in name, contact and gig preference) and giving away tickets to ALL of these gigs, so get scrobbling...
