Wow, they’re already announcing those ‘home coming’ gigs that bands do at Christmas? God it seems a long time off, it’s still summer, right? Another great year for the Villagers, and they’re moving steadily towards world domination! They’ve done very well on the European festival scene, and seemed to feature in a lot of the bigger events around the continent. It’s great to see ‘one of our own’ moving slowly towards super group status, so go celebrate with them in Vicar street this December.

After two sold out shows in the Olympia earlier in the year, I’d say this one will go in seconds. Tickets go on sale this Friday (23-08-13) so get clicking. The video for the wonderful ‘Earthly Pleasures’ is below.
