James reform, make new record, then hit the road

timbooth James reform, make new record, then hit the road Do you remember James? They did “Sit Down”, “Laid” and “Come Home” (featuring a fire engine siren as an instrument to play a solo with), and are famously that band who sold more t-shirts than records. Well, they’re following down the path of reunion set by JAMC and My Bloody Valentine… tonight Matthew, we’re gonna party like it’s the early nineties!
April 2008 sees the newly-reformed band going on tour to promote a new as-yet-untitled LP (the group’s first since 2001’s Pleased To Meet You). They are also due to play next Summer’s Isle of Wight Festival from June 13-15. Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday (December 14). James will play the following venues: Derby Assembly Rooms (April 10) Lincoln Engine Shed (11) Liverpool University (12) Newcastle Academy (14) Sheffield Academy (15) London Shepherds Bush Empire (17) Norwich UEA (18) Bristol Colston Hall (21) Blackpool Empress Ballroom (22) Edinburgh Corn Exchange (24) Aberdeen AECC (25).
