Two years later, The Courteeners released their debut album St. Jude.
The Courteeners will mark 15 years since their first gig with a tour of the UK during November.
The ‘Whites Of Their Eyes’ tour is to start at the Engine Shed in Lincoln on November 15th, and will stay up north for most of its run before ending at the Brixton Academy in London.
“So in 2006, Taylor Swift arrived on the scene, Gnarls Barkley was ‘Crazy’, Guy Goma accidentally introduced himself to the world…and so did we,” frontman Liam Fray has written on social media.
“We played our first gig at Manchester Roadhouse in October, 15 years ago. What a night to remember. I wish we actually could. Anyways, we thought we’d sort some very special shows to mark this momentous occasion so, we give you…’The Whites of Their Eyes’Tour. You’ll be able to see ours and we’ll be able to see yours.”
