TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly May 12th, 2008

Lincolnshire younglings, I Was A Cub Scout, have released a version of The Cure's 'Close To Me' onto the interweb for download as they gear up for a summer headline tour.

The track can be downloaded from the trendy Good Weather For Airstrikes blog. Clicky.

The band's tour, which is clearly celebrating the exams they don't have to take, calls in at the following venues:

May
30 Liverpool, Korova

June
03 Cambridge, Barfly
04 Leicester, Charlotte
05 London, Dingwalls
06 Sheffield, Plug
07 Nottingham, Rescue Rooms
08 Manchester, Academy 3
09 Leeds, Cockpit
10 Barfly, Brighton
11 Portsmouth, Wedgewood Rooms

Support comes from Data.Select.Party, SportsDay Megaphone and ExLovers

IWACS, who on their recent support tour with The Wombats were expanded to a four piece that included James of Rolo Tomassi and Youth Movies' Sam Hudson, also release a new single, Hunter's Daughter' on June 9th, backed by a new track, 'Worker Bees'.
