Well now you've gone and made this awkward...

We've got about a month or so of downtime at the moment so that Francis can go on holiday, James can find a job, I can move house and Adam can see how many billiard balls he can fit in his mouth, so now seems as good a time as any for an update. Tour number three of the year is now done, and the week long jaunt around the country with Calvinball and Cynics was great, with highlights including:

-A house show in a fourth floor flat
-Deep fried everything
-The two minutes a day that Giles was awake
-Matt Calvinball losing a wrestling match to Kieran
-Sketchy rollercoasters
-Dressing like Rufio
-Pointing out to the owner of a Scottish chip shop that "I'm going back to the UK tomorrow, so I need my change in UK money..."
-Conorball faceplanting a pub carpet
-Manchfester
-More things that are probably funnier but i forgot.

I think Kieran has done a quick summary on Moving North, so be sure to check that out, along with all the other fun shit on there. Obviously massive thanks to everyone who put us on, came to a show, let us sleep on their floor.

Anyhoo, our next show is on the 21st of August at No-Fest in Peterborough, and then we're back in semi-regular action in September, when we have the pleasure of supporting some of our favourite bands, including Nothington, Off With Their Heads, and Astpai (who I have a feeling are about to release one of the albums of the year). We're also ridiculously excited to announce that we will be supporting The Menzingers on their November UK tour. So, at the minute, our upcoming shows are as follows:

21st- Peterborough- Club Dissident (No-Fest)

September
7th- Lincoln- Library Bar (w/Astpai)
8th- Manchester- The Oxford (w/Astpai)
16th- Derby- Venue TBC (w/Off With Their Heads)

12th- Southampton- Unit Club (w/The Menzingers)
13th- Swansea- Sigma (w/The Menzingers)

So that's pretty much what's happening with us. For up to date tour dates and that go to our myspace (www.myspace.com/leaguesapartmusic), and keep checking back here for more inane chatter. It'll be fun. Honest. Oh and go here and listen to some Astpai. It'll make you a better person.
