School Of Seven Bells - the new project from ex-Secret Machine Benjamin Curtis have announced their first proper UK tour. The band, who released their debut album, Alpinisms last month will take in dates including London, Manchester and Brighton.

Claiming influences such as My Bloody Valentine and Gentle Giant, the band come across as a mish mash of styles, not quite entirely sure where they're going to settle next, and it'll be interesting to see how this translates to their live show.

The band play -

23rd February - Dublin Whelans
24th February - Glasgow Captain's Rest
25th February - Leeds Cockpit
26th February - London, Cargo
27th February - Manchester Night & Day
28th February - Bristol Start The Bus
1st March - Brighton Audio

They are named after a legendary pickpocketting academy, fact fans....
