xbxrx on tour: hardcore boys, and girls, get excited
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver September 7th, 2006

xbxrx touch down in the UK later this month for a string of British and Irish dates that take them from London to Belfast via such delightful cities as Manchester and Nottingham.

The Alabama-spawned outfit twist and shake hardcore in a fashion not entirely dissimilar to The Blood Brothers, albeit with more oomph. If you get what I mean.

A series of records on labels such as Polyvinyl, GSL and Narnack have gained the band a rabid fanbase, and frankly anyone with even the slightest penchant for inventive, energetic hardcore would be a dumbass to miss these shows...

September
19 London Luminaire with Blood On The Wall
20 Brighton The Jazz Place
21 Bristol The Croft with Collapse
22 Birmingham Sunflower Lounge
23 Manchester Klondyke Club
24 Leeds Brudenell Social Club
25 Nottingham Old Angel with Collapse
27 Cork Pine Lodge
28 Dublin The Hub
29 Belfast The Bunker

More information from Polyvinyl and no information whatsoever at the band's official site.

Some of these shows are available to add to your gig calendar - click here.
