Those of you who saw Josephine play in Ireland earlier this year will understand how absolutely psyched we are to announce 4 more dates in the last week of August. She's an opera school drop-out with an incredible voice that has to be heard live and such beautiful songs too. Josephine is from Chicago and has toured with Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsom as well as playing this years All Tomorrows Parties Festival in the Born Heller duo If Josephine told us she was bringing GG Allen on tour it couldn't detract from our enjoyment. The good news is she's Bringing French-Finnish duo Mi & L'au along. We got a promo of their album and it's sweet. Sweet enough to be released on Michael Gira's Young God label in the Autumn. Of course this was the first label to release Devandra Banhart, so check 'em out now or pay €29.50 to see in them in the Village next year. Josephine Foster + Mi & L'au + United Bible Studies. 27th August Cork: Venue TBA. Cork Electro-Droners Eachtra will also be playing. 28th August Limerick: Dolans (Upstairs) €6 Also playing will be Limerick heads Thacull. Ivan Pawle will guest with UBS on Hurdy Gurdy. 29th August Galway: Rosin Dubh €5 members €7.50 non-members 31st August Dublin: Boom Boom Room, Conways Parnell st. €10 UBS will be performing as Daniel Patrick Quinns backing band for this date. A tenner is a bit more than we normally charge but the Dublin date differs from the others because UBS will be the backing band for Lancashire Avant-Folker Daniel P Quinn. He's like Mark E Smith getting out in the fresh air checking out standing stones- Hard to imagine, I know. Daniel is bringing Duncan, his 60 year old narrator who, when filled with beer expels wit & wisdom. So, thats a lot of travelling musicians to care for in one night. We'll be playing with Daniel again the following weekend in Scotland.
