Possibly travelling by DeLorean DMC-12, Boom Bip and SFA bud Gruff Rhys are taking their nostalgic electro wet dream, Neon Neon, back on the road with a few dates across the UK from the end of October.
Following Stainless Style (review) receiving a nomination for this year’s Mercury Prize, the pair have obviously decided where better to take a record about The American Dream to than Gateshead.
Those dates:
October
28 Bristol Bristol Trinity Church
29 London KOKO
30 Brighton Digital
November
1 Leeds Brudenell Social Club
2 Cardiff Millenium Centre
4 Dublin Tripod
5 Belfast Stiff Kitten
6 Glasgow Oran Mor
7 Gateshead The Sage 2
9 Manchester Ruby Lounge
10 Birmingham Glee Club

Bollocks!
I was counting on a SFA tour in the autumn! I haven't seen them this year, the first time in about ten years, I need my fix!
Leave Gateshead alone
you bastard!
Good old Gateshead
You know, rumour goes, there's a sign backstage at the Sage which says something like 'Under no circumstances are you to say 'Hello Newcastle''. In fact, I'll rephrase my subject line... Good old NewcastleGateshead :-/
not good e'Gruff
those dates are lame... nothing south at all... NO BRISTOL??? thanks
Wash your mouth out.
Gruff is ALWAYS good enough.
Bristol Trinity Church (October 28)
See you there (Bristol that is)
It's about five minutes walk from my flat. Normally every time something comes on there I'm either unable to get a ticket (The Good The Bad and The Queen), or away (Bon Iver). But this time I am there. Any excuse to worship at the altar of Gruff Rhys...
oh
I didn't realise that Neon Neon was Boom Bip and Gruff Rhys. *duh*
Koko
Fucks sake
is it worth it?
judging from what I saw on tv when they played Glasto it looked completely dull, he was sitting down for most of the show it a really cockish way...
very, very wrong
there isn't a less cockish man in the world.
