Band Of Skulls playing the London Roundhouse (Antonio Coppola for Live4ever)
Band Of Skulls have announced a UK and Ireland tour on which they will perform their Baby Darling Doll Face Honey album in full to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
Remaining members Russell Marsden and Emma Richardson play shows in Dublin, Belfast, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh and Newcastle in November before visiting Bristol, Brighton, London and Manchester during the first week of December to mark an album which gave Live4ever our first introduction to the band.
“While Band of Skulls might share the pounding drums and Mississippi Delta-inspired, sludgy guitar riffs for which the White Stripes and Black Keys are renowned, especially on the album cut ‘Death By Diamonds and Pearls’, they also incorporate into their sound a good dose of British indie-pop stylings (say, Franz Ferdinand and Kasabian) which results in an eclectic mix of material that in some ways goes beyond what the Whites Stripes and Black Keys have done,” our maiden SXSW feature reads.
“Moreover, Band of Skulls manages the difficult task of treading the fine line between edginess and accessibility and have wound up with a collection of memorable tunes.”
