After being kept loosely under wraps for umpteen weeks, we are finally able to bring you news of our long awaited tour of the USA (and a bit of Canada) this “Fall”, which kicks off in Toronto on October 24th and winds snakelike across North America ending up in a gracefully crumpled heap in Los Angeles on November 3rd.

We haven’t been Stateside for 5 years or so – too long, and we’re itching to bring you our party friendly set – featuring lots of “Words and Music…” interspersed with a liberal assortment of yer classics. And there’ll be support from some of our current fave bands and DJs, a different ‘act’ every night (details on who and where soon)
…a veritable Pandemonium Shadow Show.
