The Horrors announce first-ever headline tour
- Artists:
- The Horrors »
The Horrors, right: they look silly, are utterly one-dimensional, yet I can dance to their shizzle. Is this okay?
If you're also the type of drunkard that likes to shake a tail feather to songs like 'Count In Fives', albeit when none of your proper punk-rock friends are looking on, then you'll be interested in the dates below. They equal the band in question's first-ever headline tour. Which is nice.
NME cover before a single proper tour, eh? Good one.
December
5 London Cafe 1001/1002
6 Southend Chinnery's
9 Birmingham Bar Academy
10 Manchester Satans Hollow
11 Glasgow Oran Mor
12 Edinburgh The Vaults
13 Newcastle The Global
The band's Faris Badwan commented, via the band's MySpace site:
"Hi Everyone. We're really happy to be doing our first own proper headline tour. We've tried to pick interesting venues, and a couple of great support bands. I think we're doing a new fanzine in the new year too, so look out for that."
A Horrors fanzine!? I have one here! Do you want it...?

is there really
somewhere called 'the vaults' in edinburgh?
yea rela vaults
change that picture its really really really upsetting.
hmm
1001 or 101? the latter numbered room, would be good to see them dropped into that soon enough.
How long will their set be though
20 minutes?
STOP IT. STOP. IT STOOOOP IT
make them go away - who/why/when - please tell me one of their dads won a bet with someone in the industryor someoneis returning someone a favour- I'm wimpering at the absurdity of this band!!
I assumed all these dates
are Toni & Guy staff christmas do's
"Cafe 1001/1002"
wut?
Horrors Fanzine?!??
They could put adverts in for a lead singer WHO CAN ACTUALLY FUCKING SING and NOT mumble his way through a set like a deranged baboon
make it stop
please?
two days off after two gigs?
on a 7 date tour? slackers.
birmingham
bar academy is an 'interesting venue'?!?
well
its probably just nicol edwards pub which is sometimes called the vaults for gigs, there are lots of cool underground vaults or similar across the old town which is only really used during the festival that'd be great for gigs.
its a long way
from southend to birmingham dontcha know
THE VAULTS
The Vaults in Edinburgh - Some Facts:
*On Niddry Street in Edinburgh.
*Officially the most haunted place in the UK according to the BBC
*Recently filmed for The History Channel's doc on haunted places and underground places in Europe to air next year.
*Recently filmed Iain Rankin's The Acid Test there.
*The "venue" was once an illegal whisky distillery until it was discovered.
*There is a blocked tunnel that was used by Burke & Hare to ferry the dead bodies from the mortuary until their capture in 1832
*Capacity is about 100 odd
please
can I have the fanzine?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!
they might be leaving space
to add extra shows?
post the bit
about the guitarist building his own pedals.
i think this band have simply been created
to prove a point that a bit of hair and a bit of spunk and a bit of glitz sells records, regardless of anything else. and the people who created them would be right. these are the times we live in.
they do have xerox teens in their top myspace friends. xerox teens are fucking awesome.
it's like
the strokes all over again...
