    It's on the second according to their MySpace. I'm holding out for a Dublin gig to be announced for that leg of the tour, the 1st is free. Otherwise I might trek up to Belfast.

    Saw them in Glasgow a few weeks ago. They're playing Edinburgh on 2 Feb, so I'll get to see them a second time.

    Feb 2nd is a real quandry. OR is a band that I would never want to miss playing live, but American Music Club is in Whelans Feb 2nd. I am seriously torn. Also holding out for a Dublin OR gig. Was browsing the merch table before the gig on Thurs and the bassist was talking about how much he loves Whelans, one of best best venues in the world etc! He was obviously very drunk ;-). Still, a mere 100 miles down the road from Belfast. Come on guys, you know it makes sense...!!

    BSB is one of my very favourite albums, so I'd say no. But it is excellent.

    I was talking to Travis for ages prior to the gig at the desk, you probably saw me.

    There was a tall chap dressed in black, bending the ear of the bassist and drummmer, he had a transatlantic accent I believe. Was that you Unicron ;-)? I didn't recognise the drummer and babbled away about seeing the band in Seattle in Sept not having a clue who he was. He was a personable chap though, didn't seem to mind. Was disappointed with the range of t-shirts on sale, end of the tour I guess. Really really hoping they make it back in Feb. Thing is, could they play Whelans again or would they be 'upgraded' to the Village :-(? What a wonderful band they are, consistently outstanding each time I've seen them live...!
