Well now!
Ladies and Gentlemen, the time is upon us. As of this coming week, we'll be embarking on our 'Too Orangey For Crows' summer tour of the UK and Ireland and - apart from a last rehearsal or two - we are ready to go! Last tour there were one or two complaints about the lack of brass up there. You spoke; we listened. For the vast majority of shows, we'll be joined by Dave from Kids Can't Fly or Lynsey from The Hostiles on sax, and wee Jimmy Boom is not going to be backwards in coming forward to give his bone a slide. Wow. So, if you're one of those people who sent us messages bemoaning the lack of trumpets in your life you're compelled, obliged even, to come and show some support.
Below is a wonderfully-constructed table of shows, displaying the various lovely posters for each individual show. Each poster links directly to the specific show's Facebook Event. Go and add yourself to the appropriate event and talk with people in your area how wonderful it's all going to be. Again, the amount of time that took, you're obliged to!

London is getting down to the last few tickets, please, please don't hesitate to get your ticket ordered. It's got an amazing line-up and we're looking forward to a great opening to the tour. I've been asked to relay that over-16s are welcome with ID but over-14s must be accompanied by an over-18. Tickets are HERE.
It wouldn't be a Boom tour if there weren't some last minute shiftys and shuffles. The "great gig that never was" in Bristol is not going to be going ahead. It was just too difficult to pin down the appropriate venue on the appropriate date. Sorry about that Bristol guys but maybe you can just head over to Newport instead?! Thanks to Matt at The Croft for being so helpful in his attempts to get something sorted.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Belfast show has been moved to the venue Auntie Annies. Join the Facebook group to stay up to date with the show HERE.
Thanks a lot for all the questions I've had coming in to my mailbag. There is a brand-new Blog up HERE where I answer all those taxing questions regarding subjects as diverse as Babyboom, Anarchy and strange lyrics. Please keep those questions coming in at barney@sonicboomsix.co.uk
Speaking of Blogs, the final part of the US Tour Diary is up on our YouTube HERE. Please watch them with your head-balls and laugh at the abject ridiculousness of our little troupe... and leave some comments damn ya!
OK then, I'll stop shilling this UK Tour very soon. We've got some great news coming up about releasing a Boom compilation in France on Guerilla Asso and Germany on Fond of Life as well as a tour of a country that not many bands get to tour! And that's an understatement! That's all coming very soon, for now go and get yourself a ticket for the tour and check out our friends over at Guerilla Asso and Fond of Life for some righteous punk rock shenanigans.
Innabit yo!
