We don't normally hawk tour announcements here on Music Towers, but we do make the odd exception. Pretty much one of the only things we all 100% totally agree on here is that The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster are one of the best British bands to jump out of the shadows in the last decade. And as for their live show...miss it at your peril.

The good news is they've got a new EP and a Best-Of live album coming out as well, on July 30 on No Death / Degenerate Music.

Still not convinced? Last time we saw these boys live, at the Camden Underworld, we were too shellshocked afterwards to write a review. And were barely capable of writing one from the gig before that.
