Groundbreaking, experimental "folktronica" duo The Books are due to begin their first UK tour at the end of January. Their last album "Lost & Safe!" (released on the ever-reliable Tomlab label) was a masterclass in complex sample splicing and multi-textured folk tinged electronica. It'll be interesting to see how they pull it off live.

30 Norwich Arts Centre
31 North Yorkshire The Shed

February

Surely

"Books tour" is a pun? Right?

Don't think it has changed

I checked with the Luminaire venue and they say it is still Feb 3rd as far as they're concerned.

I can see how confusion could arise. A briton would write the date numerically as 03/02/06. A yank would put down 02/03/06 (month first, as is their wont).
