Onetime singer of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci Euros Childs has been busy. More specifically he's been busy working with Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake and the pair - known collectively as Jonny - have announced an EP for later in the year, as well as some tour dates (quite a lot, actually) for early next year, playing 16 places in total.

The EP is free and is suitably titled Free EP, which is a nice touch. It contains the following tracks and will come out on November 10, so just over a month to wait.

1. Gloria
2. Beach Party
3. Continental
4. Michael Angelo (by Twenty Third Turnoff)
