The Drums Announce Intimate March 2010 UK Tour PLUS Free Instore Shows

The Drums have announced a trio of ultra-intimate gigs and accompanying free instore performances for later this month.

The much-hyped Brooklyn outfit will play Glasgow Classic Grand on March 29 and follow this with shows at Manchester Deaf Institute (March 30) and The Old Blue Last in East London (March 31).

The band will also play instores at Avalanche in Glasgow and HMV Arndale in Manchester on the lunch time before the gigs in those cities, plus an early evening show at Rough Trade East in London on April 1.

News of these shows comes just days after The Drums announced a two-night residency at 900-capacity Heaven in London on June 8th and 9th.

Their live schedule now looks like this:

Glasgow Classic Grand – March 29 (Plus 1pm instore @ Avalanche)
Manchester Deaf Institute – 30 (Plus 1pm instore @ HMV Arndale)
London Old Blue Last – 31
London Rough Trade East instore – April 1
Live At Leeds Festival – 30
London Camden Crawl – May 1
London Heaven June 8/9

As if that wasn't enough, The Drums will also be opening for Florence & The Machine on her huge 11 date UK & Ireland tour this May.
