DiS brings you the first in a series of exclusive video blogs from the Northern Alliance Tour featuring Rolo Tomassi, Grammatics and Pulled Apart By Horses, a little later than originally scheduled.
Your narrator, James Brown from Pulled Apart By Horses, had a few problems with his leg - he was hospitalised shortly before the tour, and his band missed the first few dates (and filming opportunities) as a result. Thankfully, he's feeling better now.
We join the bands in Liverpool for the first instalment - those of a nervous disposition, or with an aversion to seeing topless, sweaty indie boys, should think carefully before hitting 'Play'.
The dates for this tour are as follows:
April 14 Leicester The Musician 15 Sheffield The Plug 16 Wrexham Central Station 17 Nottingham Bodega Social 18 Manchester Satans Hollow 19 Leeds The Faversham (no Grammatics) 20 Middlesborough Uncle Alberts 21 Liverpool Barfly 22 Glasgow Stereo 28 Bristol Croft 29 Cardiff Barfly 30 Exeter Cavern (no Pulled Apart By Horses)
May 1 Bournemouth Gander 3 Southampton Joiners 4 Oxford Academy 3
