Steve Mason has arranged some UK tour dates which will take place not too long after the release of his third solo album ‘Meet The Humans‘ on February 26th.
The former Beta Band member’s stunning previous studio effort ‘Monkey Minds In The Devil’s Time‘ was part of Live4ever’s Best Of…2013 features. “He’s only bloody well done it,” we said of the album.
“On ‘Monkey Minds In The Devil’s Time’ Steve Mason has managed to make what is (for nine-tenths of its life anyway) deep down still wonderfully simple tea and biscuits rock and roll seem original, unconventional and, whisper it, even experimental without plunging into a tedious world of self indulgent bleeps and whistles.”
Its follow-up was recorded with Elbow keyboardist and producer Craig Potter at Blueprint Studios in Salford. Previously, Mason had undertaken writing sessions at his home and rehearsed in Brighton with touring members Steve Duffield and Greg Nielson.
The short tour of the UK will stop off in Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and London at the end of April.
