Evans The Death have confirmed a UK summer tour.
The London five-piece will head to London, Brighton, Cardiff, Nottingham, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Chelmsford, Coventry and Hastings between July 14 and July 30. Tickets are on sale now, with prices starting from £4.00, plus fees.
The tour follows the release of their third album, 'Vanilla', which is set to arrive on June 10 via Fortuna POP!. Meanwhile, check out Suitcase Jimmy, lifted from it, below. Discussing the track, guitarist Dan Moss said:
"We owe the title to our friend Carolina – I was hanging out with her by the river one day and we saw this guy just strutting along with his suitcase, and she said “ah, it’s Suitcase Jimmy!” – so we had this character who had this little theme tune. Olly decided he was an aspiring actor who’d just arrived in New York, brimming with ambition. Daniel saw him as more of an egomaniacal, almost Patrick Bateman character, or some sort of spy, and his lyrics were more stream-of-consciousness. I wanted to make him very slightly more sympathetic, so he’s still a total yuppie but he does his recycling, he has some semblance of a conscience, a bit like Aziz Ansari’s character in Master of None. So he became all of those things."
Following the release of the record the band will also make an instore appearance at London's Rough Trade East on June 14, as well as performing at the Shacklewell Arms in London on August 6 as part of Fortuna POP! Shake the Shacklewell.
