Saint Etienne will tour North America in September on the 20th anniversary of their Good Humor album.
“My memories of making Good Humor are all good, and that’s not just looking back twenty years through rose-coloured glasses,” Bob Stanley remembers. “Living in a flat in Malmo together for 6 weeks made it feel like we were the Monkees, and I think that spirit comes across on the album. It contained some of my favourite St Et songs, that wise owl Tore Johansson’s production was exceptional, and I was thrilled when it went down so well in the States.”
Those heading to one of the nine gigs detailed below will hear the 1998 LP in full – Sarah Cracknell adds:
“I’m so looking forwarded to touring ‘Good Humor’ this autumn with our fabulous live band! I think it’s the best live line up we’ve ever had. Drummer Mike, the amazing Bennett brothers, Gerard Johnson and of course Debsey will really bring the album to life and add a certain je ne sais quoi!”
