European tour support

From mogwai.co.uk:

Errors are going to coming to play with us in France, Spain and Italy next year which is exciting.

There are some sizeable gaps in the tour schedule at the moment, so hopefully more dates to be announced?

On a side note, worth repeating that the Remember Remember album is out tomorrow, as is James Orr Complex's 'Com Favo'.

update: Support at the Greek shows (20th and 21st Feb) comes from Misuse

Looks like a lengthy European tour through Jan/Feb 2009 then.

Surely there's a proper UK tour (i.e. not just London, Manchester and a show in Scotland, like the last two UK 'tours') to be announced for next year? We haven't had one since March 2006!

Rock Action shop

The Rock Action Records online shop has had an overhaul.

Forthcoming releases from James Orr Complex and Remember Remember are up for pre-order (both released 17th November) along with the new releases from DeSalvo and Envy's 'Transofvista' DVD is also available. There's a few more label and band T-shirts available too.

Thanks Craig.
