Travel back about one year from now and this Smiths-esque American band were playing their first ever gigs. Now one succesful year on, New York outfit The Drums have confirmed a lengthy British tour set to hit the road in November.
With a very busy summer schedule ahead of them, The Drums are set to play some of the UK’s biggest festivals. Having already confirmed their appearance at the mighty Glastonbury, The Drums will also be performing at T In The Park, Reading and Leeds.
As if that wasn’t enough to set you flying high, The Drums have also been personally invited to play as support for Kings Of Leon at their headline show in Hyde Park. With fan-favourite track ‘Let’s Go Surfing’ being released on August 16th, come rain or shine it is expected that The Drums will be pretty tough contenders for the soundtrack to this year’s festival season.
Forming in Florida, the band’s music has been described as a blend of factory records and beach boys. No doubt the golden coast of Florida inspiring some of the The Drums’ music, their debut self-titled album entered the UK charts at number sixteen.
Looking past their hectic summer schedule already, The Drums have confirmed a UK tour for the winter months beginning with a show in London on 24th November.
The Drums will play the following UK dates:
November 2010
24th HMV Forum, London
26th Anson Rooms, Bristol
27th HMV Institute, Birmingham
December 2010
3rd Northumbria University Stage 2, Newcastle
