The Drums announce Leeds date

IN support of their up-and-coming eponymous sophomore album effort, American surf rockers The Drums are taking on a UK headline tour this November and December with a date at the Leeds Metropolitan University on Wednesday November 30.

The critics' favourite will follow-up their debut with a second album called 'Portamento' and new single 'Money', both out on September 5.

The band has already sold out a bunch of September shows in London to preview the new record so don’t expect tickets for the new shows to stick around long.

They’re on sale this Friday at 9am through www.gigsandtours.com / 0844 811 0051 (£13.50).

And just in case you were wondering, 'portamento' is an Italian 17^th century term that denotes a seamless vocal slide between two pitches.
