Bloodless Coup will be with us on April 1.
Bell X1 follow their acoustic sprint round the country with two fully plugged-in gigs in Vicar St., Dublin on April 6 and 7. Tickets priced €33.60 go on sale on Monday December 13 at 9am.
The dates follow on from the April Fool’s Day release of Bloodless Coup, the band’s fifth studio album, which was recorded in Westmeath’s Grouse Lodge studio with Rob Kirwan producing.
As previously reported on hotpress.com, the band also play Cork Live At The Marquee on July 1.

Good to see we have a bit of time to get comfortable with the new stuff beforehand. I felt I'd seen them too soon the last time, if you follow. Wierd gig allround actually.

i'm the exact contrary. like the contrast of the soft picture with the bold text. but don't like those birds. i'm not really an animal person anyway. can't wait for the album though!

I wouldn't have guessed that HAL would be the first track.
How many of these have already had live premiers in one form or another?

Definitely hard to read. I like the album art, but notsomuch what they've done with it on the website.
I'll be interested to hear all of your thoughts after the album is released. We don't get it until 12 April in the US!
