Just a quick one to let you know that Jamie Stewart and Xiu Xiu will be making their way back to the UK in October to play a few dates on these shores. Of course there are none in Scotland or Wales, but don't get too down about it.

Support on the tour comes from two promising acts in Zola Jesus and Former Ghosts who have been talked about quite a lot recently, sometimes on these very pages. Anyway, have a look below to see if any of the shows happen to take your fancy.

29/10 - Dublin, Darklight Festival w/ Former Ghosts
30/10 - Bristol, Arnolfini w/ Former Ghosts
31/10 - Leeds, Brudenell Social Club w/ Former Ghosts
1/11 - London, XOYO w/ Former Ghosts and Zola Jesus

Tickets will be available from the usual outlets, I expect.
