Will Sheff and his band of merry men continue in earnest to pimp their rather excellent current album The Stage Names. They arrive in the UK this week for appearances at All Tomorrow’s Parties, The Great Escape and a sold out Club Uncut gig at London’s Borderline on May 20th.

They will then fly back to the UK in July for a show at the Trinity Arts Centre in Bristol on the 18th July followed by an appearence at Oxford’s Truck festival the day after.

Not content, the band will then head over here again in November for a full UK tour. Dates are:

November
5th NORWICH WATERFRONT
6th MANCHESTER ACADEMY
7th DUBLIN ACADEMY
9th GLASGOW ORAN MOR
10th WOLVERHAMPTON WULFRUN
11th LONDON SHEPHERDS BUSH EMPIRE
12th BRIGHTON CONCORDE 2
