Hi all,

Below is my press release for The Nightingales' upcoming US tour, which begins next Wednesday Feb. 28 in Chicago at Beat Kitchen, with successive dates in Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Providence, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Boston, and New Haven.

Please get out and support this terrific, underrated band.  It may be the one and only time you'll get to see them live.

If you haven't already, check out their first new full length in almost twenty years, "Out Of True", featuring a duet with Gina Birch of The Raincoats ("Black Country").

Do me a giant favor and let people know about the tour (particularly in the smaller cities), and feel free to repost this where you see fit.  Thanks for all your help.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to drop me a line.

Love,
John

NIGHTINGALES USA TOUR MARCH 2007


The Nightingales, one of the UK's most important postpunk outfits, are touring the US for the first time ever (bar their dates in Chicago/Austin (SXSW)/NYC a few years ago). One of the late legendary BBC Radio One DJ John Peel's personal favorites (leader Robert Lloyd in his various band incarnations is second in Peel Sessions following The Fall), as Class of '77 punks The Prefects they played with Subway Sect and The Slits on The Clash's White Riot tour in 1977 (and opened and stole beer from Bo Diddley), are contemporaries of The Fall and Mekons, and receivers of great ink in Clinton Heylin's new book Babylon's Burning (Canongate).

Along with The Mekons, they were one of the first post-punk acts to incorporate American roots/country music into their sound, predating the coining of the term alt-country by more than 20 years (see the reissue of their seminal album "In The Good Old Country Way" on Caroline True Records, http://www.carolinetruerecords.co.uk/).

With Brooklynites The Victoria Lucas (www.myspace.com/thevictorialucas) on most dates, and with very special guests (hosts, really) on many dates.

Seek out The Nightingales' new CD, Out Of True (their first long play in 20 years, available in select retail outlets and online through  US distributor Darla.com and others, also for download via iTunes, eMusic, etc.).

For a sample in advance of The Nightingales' US tour, and glowing press for their new CD Out Of True, visit their website and MySpace profile for tour dates, particulars, and to listen to The Nightingales' latest, "Wot No Blog", from their upcoming mini album What's Not To Love? (April 2007 on Caroline True Records). Add them as a friend, and feel free to repost the dates.
