Mike_Diver by Mike Diver January 12th, 2005

January
14 Warwick University
16 Dublin Ambassador (supporting Taking Back Sunday)
20 London Camden Underworld (supporting Planes Mistaken For Stars)
28 Sheffield Corporation (supporting Yourcodenameis:Milo)
30 Melkweg (supporting Taking Back Sunday)

February
1 Leeds Met University
2 Coventry Jailhouse (supporting Yourcodenameis:Milo)

6 Glasgow King Tuts
7 Aberdeen Lemontree
8 Edinburgh Venue
10 Hull University

More info is available from Fightstar's website.

Since it's impossible to mention one without the other, Charlie's Busted career might well be behind him, as rumours of their demise grow and grow. The latest is that he's not spoken to his bandmates Matt and James for three weeks. I say, so what? Sometimes I don't speak to them for ages either.
