We're not usually ones to mention bands going on tour too often but since we're in unusually good spirits today we're about to let you in on what promises to be one of the tours of the year – The Icarus Line and The Lemonheads.

You don't need to be told why The Lemonheads are good – there are plenty of albums around that can show you better than we ever could – but now that their support has been confirmed as almighty scuzz-rock geniuses The Icarus Line, the tour has just hopped up into the category of 'darn near essential.' The Lemonheads/Icarus Line UK tour dates are:

May 6 2007 – 8:00P   Mandela Hall & Shine Belfast, Belfast
May 8 2007 – 8:00P   Liquid Room, Edinburgh, Scotland
May 9 2007 – 8:00P   Lemon Tree., Aberdeen, Scotland
