S.O.N.A.A. Tour


We returned on Sunday from our European tour with buddies and awesome musicians Sons of Noel & Adrian. We had an amazing time and played some great venues. All the promoters and audiences were really nice, and the landscapes and the cities were pretty great. There's a few reviews and photos that people have put up since we passed through, mainly from the first non-UK show in Brussels. The venue, Botanique, is a big arts centre situated next to a park, where, as it happens, our drummer Tom proposed to his wife Sarah, whilst they were on holiday.
Anyway, here's a couple of reviews of the show, fed through google translate, which always provides amusingly weird turns of phrase:

We also had a really nice show the night after Brussels, in Munster, in a venue called Pension Schmidt.
Here's a review, with a few photos as well:

I'll flag up anything else as it appears, we are now getting excited about our gig in Brighton on Friday, supporting Soccer 96, S.O.N.A.A. and Damo Suzuki (formerly of Can). Kosmische!
