Foolish as it sounds, it’s always been one of my ambitions to partake in a “tour”. Social awkwardness, failure to attain a drivers licence and a complete lack of musical talent may have stymied my attempts thus far in life, but finally, PAMs are hitting the road next week in the company of loveable, NME-tipped (?!) indie-rock purists Flemmings.

Admittedly, we won’t be hitting any roads that go North of Nottingham or West of Oxford, so it’s a pretty paltry jaunt really, but y’know, times are hard, we tried our best, etc. We’ll have a VAN with a DRUM KIT in it anyway, so that’s proper tour as far as I’m concerned.

Tuesday 7th October - London - Sound Savers (Homerton) w/ Vertical Slump (info)
Thursday 9th October - Oxford - The Library w/ KANSHO (info)
Friday 10th October - Nottingham - JT Soar w/ The NG52s & CANs (info)
Saturday 11th October - Brighton - Mrs Fitzherberts w/ Daskinsey 4 & Wolf Girl (info)
Sunday 12th October - Cambridge - The Cornerhouse w/ The Centimes (info)

I always used to very much enjoy the ‘tour diary’ features that Plan B magazine used to run (the monotony! The trivial detail! The egotism and misplaced self-belief! The sense of ongoing narrative and random insights into rock band power structures!). So who knows, maybe if anything interesting happens I’ll attempt my own small addition to this much overlooked journalistic canon. Watch this space.

And as if that wasn’t enough self-promotion for one week, this has also prompted us to get our shit together and post our recordings from last year on bandcamp. Check ‘em out. If you like it, we’ve also succumbed to the trend of the hour and put them on a cassette tape that you can buy for a modest three quid.

(Satori did the poster above by the way.)
