I faintly remember a time when you could talk about the Pigeon Detectives without automatically being met with scoffs of derision. 2005? I think so. Anyway, a lot’s changed since then – the band now dither at the very peripheries of our remit to cover new and interesting music. They will also play a 7,000 capacity homecoming show in Leeds next May. It seems Yorkshire cares not for our remit.
Before then though, there’s the small matter of a UK tour to get over and done with – the act, who release new single ‘I Found Out’ next Monday (12 Nov), play the following shows soon:
November 8 Wrexham Central Station 9 Bangor University 10 Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall 11 Keele University 13 Swansea University 14 Bristol Anson Rooms 15 Exeter Lemon Grove 16 Portsmouth Pyramids 17 Bournemouth Fire Station 19 Reading Hexagon 20 Oxford Zodiac 21 London Forum 22 London Forum 23 London Forum 27 Birmingham NIA 28 Glasgow Barrowlands 30 Doncaster Dome
December 1 Manchester MEN * 15 London Earls Court *
* = as support to Kaiser Chiefs
To be in that 7,000 strong hometown crowd, you’ll have to wait ‘til Monday (12 Nov) at 9am.
