Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher had built up to the Reading/Leeds weekend with some much lower-key headline UK gigs earlier in the month which took them to Southampton, Newport, Dundee, Nottingham and Margate. “Beyond excited to be playing some live shows in the UK this year,” they said.
“It’s been far too long. Playing live is the DNA of what we do as a band and nothing connects us to our music, each other and our fans more!”
“We have personally selected support from the formidable Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and The Mysterines. We are very much in the middle of creating something very special together in the studio that is going to be the wildest and scariest record we have ever made.”
“However, it’s time to see you all again and remind ourselves and each other of the power of rock and roll.”
