volcano!: Tour Dates, 7" announced

volcano 150

You might have heard me talking about these guys before...

Quite possibly my favourite band in the whole wide world, volcano! have announced a full UK tour and 7" for this May.

The band will release 'Apple or a Gun' backed with a cover of Otis Redding's 'I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)' on 7" at the end of May through The Leaf Label. DiS was sent the track in the wee hours of this morning; it's an obliquely percussive seven minute journey, laced with the band's trademark electronic walls of fuzz.

Before we throw some tour dates at you, don't forget that volcano!'s debut LP is out NOW and you can read the 10/10 review here.

We've helped a little on these dates and the tour is loosely in association with Drowned in Sound, so there's an endorsement for you. As always!

    Seriously though, how good is this album? I've been compelled to listen to it at least twice a day since I got it a fortnight ago or so, and still I'm owned by it.

    *bounces in anticipation of late May*

    • Tiger MCs

      You are in for a treat, his music is fantastic!

  • what do this band sound like anyway???

    • the sum total of every great album of the last five years

      sprinkled with some inexplicably magical, a dose of LSD and a scope that take in a thousand miles of musical landscapery.

    • madness

      but not the ska band.
      it's like mars volta playing radiohead covers.

      • HMMM.

        maybe i shall check them out then...

      • SEan - i think you've nailed it!

        "Like Mars Volta playing Radiohead covers"

        not that that's such a bad thing mind.... Haven't made my mind up yet but will prob see em at Cardiff

  • I think I might go to that Southampton date

    I'm not promising to enjoy it though!!

    I've no idea what they're supposed to sound like, i might go have a listen in hmv innit

    • mm mm,

      already at norwich.

      • seems crazy to start queueing already!

        • colin

          if you seriously want to come to leeds i will happily put you up on my sofa.

          i'm so looking forward to this!

          • BOLLOCKS

            i've just realised i'll be in america on their london date. how intolerably gay.

          • I shall more than likely take you up on that

            maybe you could put the band up too...?

            • it's a strong possibility

              i haven't got a massive amount of room but enough to sleep a few.

              i'll have to ask my housemates and see what days i'm meant to be working but it shouldn't be a problem...

    • Andy,

      the Southampton date is probably going to be an Ejector Seat all-dayer with about ten bands playing, so i reckon it's worth going anyway.

  • where the frick is Venue TBC?

    LOL.

    • !

      Sweet, Leicester too. I shall attend.

    • Yeah where

      Is the venue going to be. like, roughly? ish?

      I hope its not king tuts. they dont let me in there...

      • I might actually go up for the Birmingham one

        as it's a weekend. I think my friends would like to come.

  • no liverpool

    pfffft

  • and for oxford...

    it's a 4 band line up, in co-promotion with the excellent Big Scary Monsters label...

    volcano!, Secondsmile, Molia Falls & Itch

    I take it you'll be sorted for crash space at the wrecktory col, but if not there's always vpop towers!

    ady

  • I might attend Norwich

    Is it worth it? I'm already having to pay for Bearsuit and Casiotone for the painfully alone in Norwich...and I'm running low on cash!

    • very much so!

      mr crablin, he speaks the truth!

      • Fuck.

        Fuck.

        Fuck.

        FUCK.

        The Oxford ate is the night before my English Language exam.

        FUCK!

        • Fuck the exam!

          Education's over-rated anyway...

          Seriously though, you don't want to miss it and you can cram before and after the gig but you'd better brush up on your language too, we'll have none of that swearing malarkey around here...

          ;-)

        • I have the same problem...

          I have a christian pespectives exam the morning after Casiotone for the painfully alone :(
