Battles: Coming your way in the near future

Math-rock protagonists Battles have just confirmed a brief European tour for early December, in addition to the dates that were announced before, there's a couple more thrown in for good measure.

December:

4 - Berlin, Berghain - Warp20 event w/ Gravenhurst, Nice Nice and !!! DJs - Tickets
5 - London, Coronet - Warp20 event w/ Broadcast, Flying Lotus, Plaid + more TBC - Tickets
7 - Manchester, Academy w/ Flying Lotus and Nice Nice - Tickets
8 - Paris, Elysee Monmartre w/ Flying Lotus, + Nice Nice & guest DJ Four Tet
10 - Dublin, Timoney Ten Event w/ The Ex
11 - The Hague, Paard - State New Forms Festival - Tickets
12 - Minehead, ATP 10 years - SOLD OUT

Plenty of opportunities there. They'll be performing long and eagerly awaited new material at the shows which, by all accounts, seemed to go down pretty well at the Warp20 event in New York in September, so we've heard. Apparently one has the working title of 'Sanford & Son'.

It'd be a complete lie to say we don't want them to get the hell on with their new album. We'll have to wait a little bit longer, however, 'cos it's not coming out 'til the second half of next year. BOOO.
