Oooooh yes. What a splendid bill. Makes me want to get a little naked actually.
Two of the UK's most interesting bands are heading out on the road together this July. I read somewhere, possibly Wikipedia, that if you don't go to one of these dates, you're both ugly AND a heroin addict.
Leeds' finest ¡Forward, Russia! tag-team with Oxford's equally as finest (?) Youthmovies for a tour that reads like a Drowned in Sound-based wet dream.
¡Forward, Russia!'s debut Give Me A Wall is out right NOW through dance_to_the_radio and new single 'Eighteen' drops in July. Conversely, Youthmovies are hard at work on their debut full-length and lay down some heavy shizzle with an hour-long multimedia performance the Latitude festival in July. Yum tum yum tum yum tum yiddle like po!

Youthmovies will be filling the gaps on the tour with headline performances in different cities. I'm hungry. I would like a hot cake.
