M83…

They’re something of a hecklerspray office favourite. Their unique French brand of mind-warping electronica (or ‘Gallictronica’, as some idiot Nathan Barley figure at the likes of Dazed And Confused might like to call it) puts most high-profile British bands to shame right now.

Which is why even a cynical bunch of misanthropes like ourselves have been sent all a-quiver.

M83, you see, are about to kick off a three-date tour of the UK, calling at Leeds, Oxford and London, as ‘special guests’ to The Secret Machines.

Doubtless they’ll be playing lots of lovely new stuff from their new album Before The Dawn Heals Us.

Of course, you could always go and watch Keane instead …
