Yes, so as we've just mentioned, we are going on a little tour to support the new single. We are calling the the tour 'The Toxic Waist Band Tour'. We'll post up more bits 'n bobs about the single and the tour over the coming weeks.

We'll let Fence Records tell you about the tour (read this full post on the Fence website HERE & HERE)..

Fence:

"We’re donning our scarves, sewing the moth-holes in our long-johns, and embarking on a Fence Winter Tour! We’ve got a cracking line up for ya – with performances from The Three Craws, OLO Worms, FOUND, OnTheFly and more…

Towards the end of January there are very special Fence shows taking place in Edinburgh (22nd), Glasgow (23rd), London (25th), Bournemouth (26th), Bristol (29th) and Reading (30th).

This tour marks the release of OLO Worms debut 7″ single – ‘Back From England / The Elastic Waste Band (Low Fat Cut)’ – a copy of which will be given out to advance ticket holders FOR FREE while stocks last. You can only get a copy of this 7″ if you purchase your tickets through the Fence website.

The OLO’s will be headlining every night of the tour – except for the Edinburgh and London shows, which will be headlined by The 3 Craws (King Creosote, Pictish Trail and James Yorkston). Hailing from Bristol, the OLO boys make some of the most pleasurably bizarre pop sounds we’ve ever heard - trust us, you’ll love ‘em.

The Three Craws (King Creosote, The Pictish Trail and James Yorkston) will be headling two of the shows, in Edinburgh and London. After appearances at Aberdour Festival, and Green Man Festival earlier this year, these forthcoming shows mark The Three Craws first official headline shows – so don’t miss out!

Comprised of King Creosote, The Pictish Trail and James Yorkston, The 3 Craws are as close as Fife is going to get to it’s own süpergroup ... and it’s not even that close. Although, one of these croaking vulcans is a dead ringer for Josh Homme’s dad; another looks like Dave Grohl’s stylist; and one of them is the bastard child of John Paul Gaultier. Expect the widdling faff, and extortionate ticket price of seasoned pro’s ... and none of the timing.

OLO Worms will provide support for the Edinburgh and London shows – and will headline the rest of the tour, with a variety of Fence acts and special guests accompanying them."

Advance tickets for all shows will be available from – YOU GUESSED IT – www.fencerecords.com as of this Monday (7th of December). Here follow the dates…

DEAR DIARY (Dec Part 1)

JH writes..

"Had a long walk in the morning, in the rain, in my wet shoes, to our new practice room. The room was freezing! We did manage to come up with a couple of new songs though. 'Disney' & 'Motor Phone' are the working titles. I really really like 'Disney'. I do a spoken vocal over the music and i sort of sound like an old welsh man talking about the past. I called GJ 'mum' for some reason!? Hahaa! Got a KFC zinger meal and sat with all the Sunday night travellers. On my walk up the 'rat run' in the dark in Bengeo a duck quacked at me, just when i needed a thought in my head about the new 'Disney' song confirming. Well..it sounded like a quack, could have be a laugh."
