Hope you’re all well, I’m currently writing this in a dazed like state due to getting home from tour last night. Coming off tour is a really strange thing to describe to someone that hasn’t experienced it. Imagine constantly being in motion, late nights, lots of noise, lots of fun, surrounded by people 24/7, eating meals at innapropriate times, not sleeping well and then someone pulls the plug on the party, everyone scatters and then it’s back to the real world. It’s a lot like the last scene in The Sopranos….

However i’m not hear to wallow in my post tour blues, i am hear to inform you all of some exciting news!

Firstly, we are beyond delighted to announce we will be supporting Biffy Clyro on 4 of their European dates in March. The dates are below and we cannot wait to see some familiar faces / see plenty of new faces.

sadly we have a bit of bad news to announce. Due to time scale issues we are having to pull out of the forthcoming European tour supporting Young Guns. We are incredibly sorry to anyone that was looking forward to seeing us play, we are feeling pretty low about it right now but it’s something that we have to do. We are currently working towards something that requires us to not be on the road and we really hope you can all understand it’s a necessity rather than a flippant decision. We’d also like to apologise to our friends in Young Guns, the last thing we want to do is let anyone down, especially a group of gentleman we call our friends and we cannot thank them enough for offering us the opportunity to play in so many fantastic places.

Thankyou!

Watch The Xcerts and other great gigs on Moshcam.
