Posted: 28 Feb '07, 13:50
They go POP, indie POP! And they've a new single coming out, and it's right good.
And it's not really a Manics cover. But it is called 'Australia'. And it's out on April 9, following the band's UK shows in March.
The quartet played in London twice earlier this week - look out for a review on this very site soon.
Those March dates, should you need reminding:
March
25 Glasgow ABC
26 Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall
27 Manchester Academy
28 + 29 London Forum
Two nights in London eh lads? Bravo, bravo - about time you proved to the world you're more than some band fancied by some actress in some film or other. Add dates to your gig calendar by clicking here.

Dear The Shins
stop playing gigs in only these cities.
-
and
play in Sheffield or Liverpool instead.
Please..?

Australia
is basically a perfect song. One of the best things The Shins have ever done.
-
It is.
I think Turn On Me might be a single as well. It should be in any case.
-
the guitar solo is Australia
is actually one of the pinnacles of human achievement.

monday night at bush hall was GREAT.

it's catchy beyond actual belief. I really, really like the new album now.

It was great.
They were so much better than last year's shows at Koko/ATP. Saint Simon was brilliant on Monday.
-
they seemed to be enjoying themselves too.
and the mirrorball was all kinds of awesome. and bush hall is lovely.
-
it really was
they were so much more entertaining in a smaller stage/intimate setting i feel.
when you hear the set one realise how many perfectly-formed pop gems they've got, one after another.
