Ex-shouty man turned folk-dude Frank Turner is to team up with the thoroughly-polite Jonah Matranga – ex of influential emo-core types Far and previously to be found under the name onelinedrawing – for a seventeen-date tour this September.
Rather clumsily entitled UK Softcore 2k7 the tour, also featuring Jacob Golden and Joshua English, calls at:
September 10 Brighton Audio 11 Leicester Charlotte 12 Edinburgh Cabaret Voltaire 13 Glasgow Cathouse 14 Middlesbrough Cornerhouse 15 Wolverhampton Civic Bar 16 Inverness Ironworks 17 Aberdeen Tunnels 18 Newcastle Trillian's 19 Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach 20 London Spitz 21 Leeds Cockpit 22 Nottingham Social 23 Liverpool Barfly 24 Wrexham Central Station< 25 Bristol Croft 26 Peterborough Park
As if that’s not excellent enough, a CD of the acts doing hardcore punk covers in an acoustic will also be available exclusively on the dates above.
In Other News, Jonah Matranga looks set to release a solo album on Xtra Mile before the year is out, the first to be released under his own name. Mr Turner, meanwhile, has recently busied himself demoing material for his second album, and is currently rumoured to be celebrating his one trillionth year on the road.
