The most almighty UK tour :O

[YI]

Coming March...

The Gaslight Anthem w/ Frank Turner and Polar Bear Club

HOOOOOLY!!!! FUUUUUUCK!!!!

Only two dates announced so far. Norwich on the 2nd and Dublin on the 5th.

I honestly can't think of a gig which has so much 'sing along' potential. By the time Gaslight take the stage your voice will be fucked!

Also, in unrelated news, The Get Up Kids are apparently having their reunion show in Kansas on Sunday.

Who will actually go to Norwich for this?

People from Norwich? They're scared of real civilisation.

There's going to be more dates, it hasn't been 'officially' announced yet, those two dates have only been announced by the venues (There'll be more, a lot I presume, given that Norwich is a date) and Frank Turner has confirmed that he and Polar Bear Club will continue on as UK tour supports (supporting Gaslight's Europe tour the month before).

[9 to 5]

I know. I jusst wanted to be bitchy. >_>

[Gazz]

AND it's in Norwich!

I have a ready made shag with a girl in Norwich too, I just need an excuse to actually go there.

[METALMAN]

Let me know when there's one near me please.

Walking On A Wire

...yes...the fucking entirety of "Something To Write Home About", in order. I want UK shows...NOW!!! NOW!!!

I mean I love New Amsterdams, and they put on a great live show, and the other projects members of the band joined were great too; White Whale, Blackpool Lights (who just sounded like Get Up Kids would do if they continued on from "Guilt Show") and Reggie & The Full Effect...but man Get Up Kids are back.

Fuck this has made me listen to the Blackpool Lights album, fuck, I forgot how good it is. I think at the time I preferred White Whale's, was more proggy, but the choruses and catchiness of Blackpool Lights, fuck...it's awesome. "This Town's Disaster", get it!

Looks like, Manchester it is. No Leeds either.

They are playing Brighton, so I'll be showing up I'm sure.

I am not going to Manchester for this.

They're in Glasgow like the 3rd of December with Former Cell Mates and King Blues, there might be tickets left.
