Northern Alliance: Rolo Tomassi, Grammatics and PABH tour, then video it for DiS

Three of DiS' very favourite Northern bands head out on tour this week, and one of them has agreed to compile a series of exclusive on-the-road videos documenting the madness as it unfolds.

That's right, Rolo Tomassi, Grammatics and our intrepid video bloggers (voggers?) Pulled Apart By Horses are coming to a city near you, and believe us when we say you're in for a treat. It's a triple header dreams are made of: three of the best - not to mention most vicarious - live bands in the country, all in the course of an evening.

Keep your eyes locked on DiS - we're expecting our first dispatch in a few days.

You'll probably be wanting a reminder of the dates, won't you?

April
14 Leicester The Musician
15 Sheffield The Plug
16 Wrexham Central Station
17 Nottingham Bodega Social
18 Manchester Satans Hollow
19 Leeds The Faversham (no Grammatics)
20 Middlesborough Uncle Alberts
21 Liverpool Barfly
22 Glasgow Stereo
28 Bristol Croft
29 Cardiff Barfly
30 Exeter Cavern (no Pulled Apart By Horses)

May
1 Bournemouth Gander
3 Southampton Joiners

DiScuss: Will you be in attendance at any of these shows? Who's your favourite of these acts? Will they make it to Oxford in one piece?

Pulled Apart By... A gammy leg

So no sooner did we post the above, DiS hears PABH guitarist James Brown (no, not THAT one) has been re-admitted to hospital due to a knee injury sustained during a recent tour of the Isle Of Man.

The band have thus cancelled tonight's performance in Leicester - but Rolo Tomassi and Grammatics will still play the date. They're expected to rejoin the tour in Sheffield tomorrow...

Get well soon, James.

i like how hes pointing to his leg

as though there is any way anyone could miss it

shame the Manchester gig's on the same night as Earth

going to have to give this one a swerve unfortunately.

Maybe

It's because PABH are doing Camden Crawl, which falls in the middle of the tour? Not sure, really.

It seems like Grammatics are a little out of place

in this line-up, I guess it's nice to have variety but i'd sooner just see them. The other two bands are a little abrasive for my tastes.

I think all the bands are friends, that's how it happened

Maybe catch them in October when they support Bloc Party? That should be an *ace* tour, two very like-minded bands.

Poor old James

Just had a text from him saying he has been asked to stay in hospital another night! So looks like PABH will be missing a bit more of this tour than expected.

I've seen the leg in question, and yes i can confim it is infected. Well if the fact that its quadruple the size of his other has anything to do with it! :/

GET WELL SOON JIMMY B

Grammatics - Preston

Grammatics play Preston on Thursday April 23rd. :o)

Their only non-tour date. Learn more here...

so

any word on london dates?

attending

I just saw this in Manchester

I really do think Rolo Tomassi are the best live band that I've seen. In fact all three bands are great, and better every time I've seen them (which is about five times).
