Polar Bear Club Announce UK Dates

Polar Bear Club are heading to Britain for a couple of weeks worth of gigs, from May 23. I like these guys and recommend you check them out. I first saw them live back in December at The Mod Club in Toronto - click here for that gig review.

The tour dates look pretty familiar - the usual deal of a band playing a lot of gigs across England, then just one token night in Scotland. Incidentally, that's the reason why gigs in Glasgow are usually always so damn good, because international touring bands rarely travel any farther north than the two big cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. This means that so long as the band are at least half-decent then the show will sell-out, and a frenetic atmosphere is almost guaranteed.



As I write this, Polar Bear Club have yet to post these UK dates on their MySpace, but here they are;

May 23 - Kingston, Peel
May 24 - Leeds, Slam Dunk Festival
May 25 - Bristol, Croft
May 26 - Brighton, Freebutt
May 27 - Birmingham, Academy
May 28 - London, Underworld
May 27 - Nottingham, 7
May 30 - Exeter, Phoenix
June 1 - Glasgow, Cathouse
June 2 - Newcastle, Academy
June 3 - Manchester, Musicbox
June 4 - Norwich, Marquee

Look up your local venue or use the power of Google to find out about tickets for these dates.
