Crows have announced an Autumn UK tour, including a Liverpool stopover, Getintothis’ Steven Doherty has all of the finer points.
Signed to Idles‘ frontman Joe Talbot’s Balley Records label, London’s sublime noise-makers Crows have released details of their full November tour.
The dates are in support of their debut album, Silver Tongues which was released earlier this year to rapturous reviews, and a record that we described in April’s Albums Club column as “one dark brooding monster of a record, a grinding onslaught.”
They’ve spent the summer playing a myriad of festivals, mostly overseas with a few sporadic home-based ones thrown in, and the never-ending touring story is set to continue through the next few months.
September sees them back on the European mainland, and prior to this run of their own headline gigs, they are to spend a chunk of October on the road supporting Aussie grungesters Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.
They reach Sound on November 23 and tickets are already disappearing at quite the rate of knots.
Getintothis’ were privileged enough to witness Crows smash their set at Manchester’s Albert Hall playing a barnstorming show prior to headliners (and label bosses) Idles, and they hit hard.
It was a truly mesmerizing half hour, and to see it replicated in the cosy surroundings of Sound’s basement is definitely going to be one of this end of year, do not miss gigs.
The November headline dates in full are:
November 21: Bournemouth Anvil
November 22: Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach
November 23: Liverpool Sound
November 27: Exeter Cavern
November 28: Southampton The Joiners
November 29: Norwich Waterfront
November 30: Leicester Cookie
