Well-brill St Louis rockers Riddle Of Steel are all but in the U of K for what people round these parts are calling a tour.
The US post-punk trio - whose last two records, Python and Got This Feelin' come highly recommended by this writer - posted a MySpace bulletin to the tune of this (unedited!):
Oh, yeah uh, hey, we got some shows coming up, no big deal really. Y'know the usual,... UK/EUROPE TOUR, FEB. 2007!!!!!!!
Read it and weep! A million, bictillion thanks to anyone and everyone involved in setting this up. Big thanks to Claire and Paul with A Badge of Friendship (myspace.com/abadgeoffriendship), Andy "B'Andrew" Parkin, Math of Headcases and of course, Bultacos.
To all our crew(s) at home, enjoy your nice big steaming plate of same old, same old, because we're getting all cultural and whatnot. Paris? London? Madrid? Mais oui! Nous ne'somme pas des touristes! ... did I do that right?
We DiScovered Riddle Of Steel right here, so have a read of that interview and then get yourself a ticket to one of these bad boy gigs...
