Tom has announced a series of intimate tour dates in promotion of his as yet untitled debut studio album. Welsh dates will be published soon, but for now you can grab pre-sale tickets via the mailing list by following the link below:-
I find it extremely interesting that he'll actually be playing some churches along the way, given that Russell has stated previously that Editors aren't religious people at all. I would also imagine that it's is going to bring an element of will he/won't he to designing the setlist with the biggest question being...will he play Papillon? I'm a big fan of mainstream subversion through pop music, but this might be a step too far. A quick scan of the lyrics will indicate why two lines in particular might be slightly problematic in this setting. Or not, depending on how progressive and free thinking the hosts are willing to be? My experience with religion, however, tells me it's usually not much. Prepare for pearl-clutching, fainting and persistent crossing yourself from all in attendance if he goes ahead.
brought to you with lots and lots of lemming-love ;) x
