Mike Skinner has released two new Streets songs ahead of the band’s greatest hits comeback tour next year.
Skinner announced the surprise return back in October, and has now just as abruptly unveiled Burn Bridges and Sometimes I Hate My Friends More Than My Enemies, both of which are available on iTunes.
“I’ve missed tour buses very much, which is the least of the reasons why I have decided to tour The Streets again,” Skinner said of the tour. “The other thing I’ve missed is trying to think up what I’m going to say in the gap between the songs.”
“When you DJ they tell you that you don’t need a tour bus and you don’t need to think up things to say between the songs. But seriously, it’s been long enough. With my Tonga parties, the new rap and grime MC’s I have been producing and the DJing, I have been living with music since making The Streets for nearly as long as I made The Streets.”
It will start in Berlin on April 11th and reach the UK from the 19th and Birmingham’s O2 Academy.
“I’m not the guy smoking in the car anymore though, I have become the guy in the club, so I hope I will be excused for putting on after parties in nightclubs after every show.”
