ÆLA (meaning, literally translated, "puke"), Iceland's premier punk-rock-noir band, are hitting England for a week at the end of March. This band have been a regular highlight at Iceland's Airwaves festival for the last few years as well as getting a busload of TV and Radio coverage. Now their waves spread to these shores for a set of shows with all kinds of weird and wonderful underground bands from around the UK, including several DiS favourites.

Details are as follows:

March
26 Oxford Market Tavern w/ Junkplanet, The Walk Off, Worldview
27 London Artrocker w/ Children Collide
28 Brighton Engine Room w/ Applicants, Junkplanet, Power Up!
30 London The George Tavern w/ Applicants, Barbarians, Hot Pants Romance, Action Beat
31 London Brixton Dogstar w/ Fuck Buttons, J.I.M.C., Junkplanet, The Walk Off, DJs Bishi + Disastronaut
