Since reporting here about iLiKETRAiNS lead singer David Martin's unfortunate and painful incident with his jacket last month, DiS is pleased to report that he is back on the road with the band for an extensive tour of the UK.
This tour sees the band launch their own monthly night at the Leeds Brudenell Social Club called SiGNAL FAiLURE. Apparently happening on a Thursday near the monthly cusp, the first one is this Thursday 27 April with the iLT boys taking the stage at 9pm. The next one on 1 June is the official single launch of their lovely new single, Terra Nova, released on 29 May.
Having already undertaken four dates of the tour in the North and Scotland, the quintet's famous, massive post-rock sound and stark projected imagery has already been wowing the punters. There's another 20 or so dates to go so don't worry about missing them even if you live in France. They're going there in June with DiS' own Redjetson. Get a passport. I'd be going to Bordeaux with them, except I'll be at Download Festival being Heavy Metal and ting.
