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...?

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.
