DiS is pleased as a pig rolling in the very finest shit to inform you that we're right behind the July tour by Sheffield keyboard-core screamers Rolo Tomassi (pictured) and Guildford/London-based avant-garde alt-rockers Meet Me In St Louis.
By which we mean we're sponsoring it. We're not lurking behind little Eva, all evil-eyed and grinning nastily. Oh no no no - she'd beat the crap out of us if we did. Check out the flyer here.

The eagle-eyed among you might notice that the London date is the same day as SuperSonic in Birmingham, which means I can't bloody well go. Balls. Does someone want to put me up in either Leicester or Bristol...? Or anywhere, for that matter.
In related news, the ever-so-awesome MMISL are on tour with the equally ace Secondsmile from tomorrow. Dates below...
May
24 Cardiff The Barfly

rolo tomassi
played with josh t pearson on sunday---very weird...both really good but an odd line up...followed by....er....lethal bizzle. hmmm
I love MMISL so much.
:D excellent news! Rolo Tomassi are ace as well.
I'll be at the Barfly show
without a shadow of a doubt.
Same week as Converge as well, couldn't get much better!
If you live in London and cant wait
come see MMISL play with Popular Workshop at The Good Ship on June 12th. Will be grand.
are rolo tomassi playing woolfire on the 13th then?
^ yes ^
tremendous
can't wait
how come there's a Sheffield date
but no Guildford date? this is unfair.
.
We literally couldn't fit any more dates into the tour unfortunately. In fact, we had to turn quite a few down. Maybe the band's can go and play the places which miss out later in the year? MMISL will certainly be playing Guildford again before long no matter what, don't worry about that
:-)
wow. it's good to see they're in high demand
saw MMISL a couple of weeks ago supporting the Paper Chase, and they were brilliant. The new stuff sounds awesome
I ordered their new split off you folks at BSM today!
Cool
Thanks for that. The vinyl has, as is always the case, been delayed, so it should be waiting for us in Sheffield on Friday. I'll sort all of the orders when I get home. Hope you like it!
i've slowly
and eagerly anticipated finally seeing MMISL. and not only is it with rolo tomassi, but lovvers and public relations exercise. now that is a strong line up that cannot be missed. roll on the firebug...
These tours are...
...sick
oh and...
Cutting Pink With Knives are also playing the Leicester Rolo Tomassi/MMiSL show...
The Oxford date
also features Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst Into Flames and probably another band yet tbc.
whoop whoop!
ady
No Brighton gig......
this upsets me, and should be sorted pronto!
Leicester - Worcester
I've heard that Cutting Pink With Knives are playing at the Leicester gig.
Also, does anyone know any more details for the Worcester gig?
apparently
its free entry! other than that no details as yet.
