Mightily awesome Leeds trio Bilge Pump hit t'road later this month, alongside recent split-seven-inch partners Pifco, for what can only be described as a tour.
The band - "fucking idiots" in the words of their MySpace page - are preparing to release a new album, too. It's called Rupert The Sky and will be out on Gringo soon. We. Are. Excited. By a lot of things, actually.
