The Pigeon Detectives will embark on a lengthy tour of the UK later this year, beginning with three Scottish dates in Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh.
The band then move south of the border on October 21st for a date at the Warehouse 34 venue in Newcastle, and continue on into November when shows at Folkestone’s Quarterhouse and the Leeds Met Uni bring events to an end on the 1st and 2nd.
The Pigeon Detectives released their ‘We Met At Sea‘ album last month. “For the third album we almost went against our instincts at times,” frontman Matt Bowman said of the record. “We reigned ourselves in. On this one we just wrote what came out, really natural, we didn’t force anything, and if something wasn’t good enough we just threw it away.”
“Where possible, original live takes were used – there’s errors left in, it all adds character. It just made sense to us to write a record that will translate live and create a rock and roll atmosphere at our shows.
