DiS 6th Birthday tour: Starts tomorrow!

by Colin Roberts [Edit this content] ▾ 3 comments 14:54 October 6th, 2006

It kicks off tomorrow, Saturday! Yes!

Well, if it isn't two of the best new bands in the country, supported by London's best new singer-songwriter?

Actually, yes it is. The DiS 6th Birthday tour featuring the multi-national blissful talents of Fields, the overtly-danceable indie-rock of GoodBooks (pictured) and the gruff-voiced troubador Kid Harpoon gets going in but 24 hours and we thought we'd nudge you into popping along to a few of the dates!

It's a rotating headliner-type affair, with the Kid.H in support across the board.

You can buy tickets now SeeTickets and TicketWeb. They're awfully well priced (we like to think!) and we hope to see y'all down the front.

9 Birmingham Custard Factory
10 Exeter Cavern
11 Cardiff University
12 Leeds Faversham

I'm off to start a band called

'It Starts Off Tomorrow' then invite myself on to this bill. Can it work? Only time will tell!

I didn't realise

that this was a DiS thing. I was at the Cardiff one. Kid Harpoon was great, Good Books were even more so. I danced like a crazy person! Fields were very pretty but drony dullness, though.

Buff - Birmingham

Ahhh such a good gig, Kid Harpoon rocked so much, as did GoodBooks. What I heard of Fields were good too but I had to catch a train therefore missed half their set.
