Japandriods Announce 7″” Series

After a string of triumphant debut shows in the UK last year, which saw the Vancouver two-piece bring their explosive live act to packed out audiences, Japandroids have confirmed they will return to Europe for a string of UK shows in May including an appearance at The Great Escape Festival.

Having sold out London's ICA, 6 weeks in advance of their headline show next week, Japandroids will be playing The Garage when they return in May.

New May 2010 dates

Thursday 13th May – Saturday 15th May – The Great Escape, Brighton
Monday 17th May – DiScover @ The Harley, Sheffield
Tuesday 18th May – Jericho, Oxford
Wednesday 19th May – Joiners, Southampton
Thursday 20th May – The Garage, London

Additionally, the duo has announced they will be releasing a five-part series of 7″ singles throughout 2010 on Polyvinyl Records. Each limited edition 7″ will feature a previously unreleased track from the 'Post Nothing' sessions alongside a cover. Japandroids devised the 7″ series as a way to give something back to their fans while the band is in the midst of heavy touring and unable to record a full album. Each two-song 7″ will be recorded during the brief period of time the band is at home between tours.

First up, released on April 12th is 'Art Czars', the clear coloured vinyl will also feature 'Racer-X' – a Big Black cover and live favourite. You can preorder it here plus it will also be available for digital download: link
