An Albatross: not just a bloody big bird, but also a band! A band on tour! Wow!
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver May 8th, 2006

Don't wander too close to the front, really: one of An Albatross' first-ever shows saw their singer strip naked and then hospitalise himself. Now, we wouldn't want you getting similarly hurt... or naked.

The out-there but over here sextet do things with guitars and organs - electronic and organic - at dates you can go to, providing you're not at the dentist's or your granny's waiting for her sausage lattice thing to finish baking. G'wan, push her in when she checks the pastry, then get along to...

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
5th Birmingham The Actress & Bishop

The Actress and Bishop? Where the f'ing heck is that? Anyhooo, the band release their second album (if you can call that We Are The Lazer Viking thing an album), Blassphemey (of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear-Warp Kumite), through Ace Fu later this year. It'll be OUCH.
