An Albatross: not just a bloody big bird, but also a band! A band on tour! Wow!

May
27th Leeds Brundenell (with Lightning Bolt)
28th Nottingham Dot-To-Dot-Festival @ Rock City Basement (at 5pm)
28th London Luminaire (with Lightning Bolt)
29th Manchester Satan's Hollow
31st Belfast Bunker Bar

June
1st Dublin Lower Deck
2nd Aberdeen Moshulu
3rd Glasgow TBA
4th London Upstairs @ The Garage
