The main support being Antipodean fuzz lords, the Dry Retch (also on the London show) and Mancunian swamp ghouls, Bones Shake. An enviable bill in anyone&#8217;s book, even on a school night. In Glasgow they will be joined by the alt-country the Reverse Cowgirls before rounding off the week in London with an extra portion of the Retch lads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With tickets flying out on the continent, it&#8217;s plain to see that this is one not to be missed here at home and will give all attendees bragging rights for what will be the rock-&#8216;n&#8217;-roll event of the summer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also keep an eye out for the New Christs newly released double disc compilation &#8220;The Burning of Rome&#8221; which is already in heavy demand worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get your tickets, put your shoes on and leave the house.
