Have Sleigh Bells toured Reign of Terror in the UK?
And I just missed it somehow? Or is there some established reason they haven't that I've missed?
I don't really care if you like Sleigh Bells or not, cheers.

i don't know what that is but i saw them at manchester uni last december if that helps at all
Yeah they played at the beginning of the year i think
the one we were at (although not together) was december
oh yeeeeah
i forgot you were there
SORRY
it was march
i saw sleigh bells at the academy 2
in march on this tour. charlie xcx supported. dont think they've come over again
wait no
this is the one that i was at
they were over in August as well
played Edinburgh to (apparently) less than twenty people.
wow, ever thought gigs like that actually happened
awkward
As documented in a different thread
They played Edinburgh to about 35-40 people in August
I was there
They headlined one of the smaller stages at Reading/Leeds
In August.
Can I take these replies as a no?
I wouldn't count a few pre-album release shows and some festival appearances as touring a record.
It was just after it was released.

Ah, cheers.
Bugger.
Doesn't sound from the comments above
Like they have much of an audience outside of London.
They had a lot of Radio1 play tho didn't they ? Kinda shows how little the blogosphere connects.
That's a bit dramatic
As mentioned in the other thread, the Edinburgh gig was a) during the Fringe and b) quietly rescheduled from earlier in the year, and done as a Reading/Leeds warm up.
I've seen them in venues outside of London earlier in the year (Manchester, Birmingham I think) and it's been packed.
yeah
I think it's just that audiences outside of the south east (where you do have 10-15% of the entire national population within an hour) are just way more volatile.
It was during the fringe
but I met my mate after the gig who saw Santigold that night in a venue down the road and drew a bigger crowd. Not a lot of promotion done for the gig as i saw a poster in a local pub. I was quite surprised but I would chalk this up to being in the middle of the Fringe. The gig was that intimate that she was more interested that there was 2 people from NY in the crowd than us who attended!
Still like them as a band
Manchester Academy 2 was full
found out the other day that they're playing the Big Day Out
so I think I'll be going along for the first time in about 15 years.
Yes, I know you have no idea what I'm talking about.
Am going to be in/around Sydney when their sideshow is on.
Hopefully I'll be able to make it as I don't particularly fancy BDO. They were really good when they toured back in what was either late 2010 or early 2011.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are playing too
I'm very keen to see both bands, and amazingly they're not clashing. There's just enough other bands I'm mildly intrigued to see that also aren't clashing as to make it worthwhile — although the $165 price tag is pretty fucking outrageous.
