On the day their new EP Town Centre gets its physical release, Squid have detailed a UK tour for the first part of next year.
After appearances at Eurosonic and Transformer in the Netherlands next January, the UK tour will take place throughout March 2020, leading into the previously announced gig at the London Scala on April 2nd and another gig in the Netherlands later that month.
“Lots of bands, in the privacy of their own notions, probably think they sound a bit like Talking Heads,” our Town Centre EP review reads. “On The Cleaner, Squid sound a bit like Talking Heads.”
“The great news is that the bit they nail is the essence of what made the New Yorkers so ground breaking, capturing the bone-dry, epically taut funk which boiled everything down fierce angles and a refusal to compromise. By extension, it touches greatness.”
