Art Brut Line Up 2008 Dates

If Eddie Argos were a more persuasive fellow, there would be no stages left for his Art Brut; all the bands who formed at his urging would clog the live music scene of the world in his wake, making things like scheduling an Art Brut tour darn near impossible. Nice, then, that Eddie's powers of persuasion appear limited to causing others to rock the heck out.

And nicer still that there are stages aplenty upon which Art Brut can step and proceed to give the kids the goods. Art Brut's world tour will make its way to Australia for a few days later this month before kicking off anew late in January in the UK. Spain and Italy will get their shots at the meta-rock right as the tour grinds to a halt in early March.

And, lest you forget to check yr list twice, the Christmas single Argos and Black Box Recorder cut under the name the Black Arts is due December 10 in a limited edition. Heck, if you're not gonna form these bands, Eddie's just gonna have to do it for you.
