Seattle five-piece Pretty Girls Make Graves have announced a pair of shows to promote their forthcoming third album, Élan Vital (pictured).
The band will swan into London and Manchester on the dates below.
April
3 Manchester University (Academy 2 or 3 we suppose)
4 London 100 Club
Élan Vital is released through Matador on April 10th. Bassist Derek Fudesco revealed to DiS earlier this month that the band had recorded a whole album's worth of material as a four-piece, following the departure of guitarist Nathan Thelen after last album The New Romance, but scrapped it and started again when new member Leona Marrs joined full-time. Having heard the record a good few times now, DiS can report that the move was a wise one.
