1) Kerrang! Awards Nominations
Thanks to everyone that voted in the first round, we've been nominated for TWO Kerrang! Awards. Thanks you guys!
We're up for Best British Band and Best Live Band. Competition is super tough cos all the other bands are awesome...but, with your help, maybe we're in with a slim chance of taking an award home with us.
Kerrang Awards 2009 - Register is where you need to go to vote.
Word is that you can vote more than once too

2) UK/Ireland tour. Tickets / support
Apparently, tickets for the tour are going well fast! and they're going to go even faster now that we've announced the main support for the whole tour...
From the town of Dayton, Ohio (birthplace of modern aviation and the cash register)...ladies and gentlemen...The Devil Wears Prada.
We're proud to have them along for the tour. Should be a blast.
Tour dates and ticket links are at the bottom of this mail.

OH YEH... if you live in EDINBURGH... we're doing a special one-off show in August as a warm-up for Leeds / Reading Fests.

3) Euro dates with The Prodigy!
Bleedin' hell, right? A whole tour of Europe with The Prodigy!
So if you fancy a trip away for a mad night out... the dates are down the bottom of this too.
(The Amsterdam show - potentially maddest night of them all, surely? - is sold out already! took 5 minutes to sell out. Those awesome crazy dutchies are well up for it. Can't wait...)
