Band Of Skulls playing the London Roundhouse (Antonio Coppola for Live4ever)
Band Of Skulls have added a new date to the UK and Ireland tour which will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their Baby Darling Doll Face Honey album.
Russell Marsden and Emma Richardson plan on playing the record in full during previously announced gigs in Dublin, Belfast, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh and Newcastle during November, and Bristol, Brighton, London and Manchester during December, and have now arranged a concert at Pyramids Centre in Portsmouth to close the tour.
It was when the Baby Darling Doll Face Honey campaign arrived at South By Southwest that Live4ever got our first look at Band Of Skulls, our subsequent feature observing that, ‘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’.
