Chris Chinchilla founder of Art Brut and New Music Towers contributor is off to live in Australia after after the success of his tour there.

To celebrate he is having a a series of final UK dates and with this statement.

'The past few months have been amazing for my solo shows and with the band, with no decent demos (Macaca Mulatta's 5 track EP will be out very soon...), very little major press, and no money we've been playing some astounding gigs with crowds (who have never heard the band before) going mental, and repeat bookings at every venue played. 

Maybe it's because we put on an emotion packed and energy charged live show or maybe it's because the songs are honest, about issues that matter and mean something to people, who knows, but come along and see for yourself...'
