Russian Circles: debut UK shows and domestic album release
- Artists:
- Tool »
- Russian Circles »
Chicago-based instrumental rock heavyweights Russian Circles - probably the best band this pair of ears heard at this year's South By Southwest schmindustry do - are to play their first-ever UK dates in August as support to Tool.
The three-piece - pictured - kick off their UK dates at Brixton Academy. Like, welcome to England guys - here's a shit load of mental Tool fans. Good luck!

Further UK dates - headline dates - are being booked as you read this, including (hopefully!) a DiS-associated show in London. That's strictly TBC, though... but keep them crossed.
In totally related news, Russian Circles' debut album of last year, Enter, is to receive a proper UK release later this year via Black Records. Visit said label's MySpace here, and read the DiS review of Enter here.
I am so excited!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
argh!!!!!! finally!!!!
EXCITED!!!!1
OH YES!!!!
Got a ticket for Manchester purely for Tool, but now I hear Russian Circles are supporting, this has made my week! 'Enter' is an amazing album!
oh fucking god yes!
i can't wait for them to announce headline shows, tool shows will be way to expensive.
Headline gigs?
I invested in their album purely based on their SXSW review on these very pages. Its great stuff, hope they make it down to Brighton for their own gigs.
YA!
make the london headline show somewhere decent and not strict 18+ plz :)
I love Enter
after hearing New Macabre at the end of the DiS podcast.
But I am cannot justify heading to Brixton purely to see them support Tool.
Despite them being feckin brilliant.
