DiS-sponsored July jaunt: Rolo Tomassi and Meet Me In St Louis hit the road together

DiS is pleased as a pig rolling in the very finest shit to inform you that we're right behind the July tour by Sheffield keyboard-core screamers Rolo Tomassi (pictured) and Guildford/London-based avant-garde alt-rockers Meet Me In St Louis.

By which we mean we're sponsoring it. We're not lurking behind little Eva, all evil-eyed and grinning nastily. Oh no no no - she'd beat the crap out of us if we did. Check out the flyer here.

July dates as follows...

July
14 London Barfly
15 Oxford The Cellar
16 Cardiff Barfly
17 Bristol The Croft
18 Birmingham Barfly
19 Leicester Firebug with Lovvers and Public Relations Exercise
20 Mansfield The Mill
21 Leeds Brudenel Social Club
22 Worcester TJ's
23 York Barfly
24 Manchester The Phoenix
25 Glasgow Barfly
26 Aberdeen Cafe Drummonds
27 Sheffield The Corporation

The eagle-eyed among you might notice that the London date is the same day as SuperSonic in Birmingham, which means I can't bloody well go. Balls. Does someone want to put me up in either Leicester or Bristol...? Or anywhere, for that matter.

In related news, the ever-so-awesome MMISL are on tour with the equally ace Secondsmile from tomorrow. Dates below...

May
24 Cardiff The Barfly
25 Sheffield The Corporation
26 Leeds Dry Dock (free entry)
27 Birmingham Flapper and Firkin
28 London Water Rats (w/ We Are Carnivores, Tatsunoko's Bear)
29 Leicester Firebug
30 Bristol The Croft

A split single featuring tracks from both MMISL and Secondsmile will be available at all dates, and in shops from June 11. Neat!

.

We literally couldn't fit any more dates into the tour unfortunately. In fact, we had to turn quite a few down. Maybe the band's can go and play the places which miss out later in the year? MMISL will certainly be playing Guildford again before long no matter what, don't worry about that

wow. it's good to see they're in high demand
saw MMISL a couple of weeks ago supporting the Paper Chase, and they were brilliant. The new stuff sounds awesome
