Dutch Uncles for Irish debut, new single

Creators of possibly the smartest and most inventive debut album of the year, Dutch Uncles will make the short trip across the Irish Sea for their Dublin and Belfast debuts later this year when they play the Academy 2 on Friday, November 18 and Auntie Annie's a day later. Tickets for the Belfast show don't seem to be on sale yet but their Dublin date will set you back a mere tenner.

The dates are two of only a handful of headline shows the Manchester band play this side of Christmas - they open for Wild Beasts across Europe in October and November in what is match made in support slot heaven type stuff. The relevant UK and Irish dates are below.

Ducth Uncles release 'The Ink', the third single from the excellent Cadenza, on September 26 and you can stream it at the bottom of the page.
