Mogwai announce a UK tour for early 2011,
The fourth album from Vermont-based Grace Potter and her backing band the Nocturnals is a raunchy, rocky affair: a mixture of slow-burning Southern soul rock ballads and faster, gutsier numbers. The band have been gaining momentum in the US and Canada, with appearances on several of the major chat shows and their music being used in a number of hit US dramas. But here in the UK, they’re much more of an unknown, and clearly the band hope to hit big with this summer release.
Guinness Presents Arthur’s Day
I have to admit that I haven’t listened to Funeral for a Friend since the mid 2000’s, however when I heard they were playing their debut album in full, I was first in the queue for tickets. Having released four full length and a greatest hits album since their formation in 2001, this tour, entitled “Saying Goodbye to Darran Smith” was the first time the band had played a lot of material from their 2003 album “Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation” since 2004.
