SB6: UK tour starts tomorrow
Posted by jamie on Dec 1, 2010
Sonic Boom Six start their latest UK headline tour tomorrow (Thursday). Barney Boom (bass) told us this:
I’m actually a litte behind because of the pressure of learning all the new lyrics for the new tunes we’re going to be dropping in the UK for our headline tour.
And Sexy Neil (drums etc) told us this:
We’ve shipped in our boy Alex Bertein on Saxophone from Belgium, so come over and show him how the UK gets down!
This will be SB6’s last UK jaunt before they go in to hiding to work on their follow-up to City of Thieves, (or Rude Awakening, depending on how you look at it).
See the tour on facebook here.
