    Saw a video for one of their tracks from the Tour de France Soundtracks album on one of the Sky channels on Saturday or Sunday, think it might have been on The Amp (469 on Sky). Can't remember which exact track it was but it sounded pretty good. Anyway, saw on the NME site today that they're touring next year and thought I'd post the dates in case anyone's interested. Other European and Japanese dates can be found on their website.

    Glasgow Academy (March 16)
    Manchester Apollo (March 17)
    London Royal Festival Hall (March 18)
    London Brixton Academy (March 20)

    Also, anyone heard the whole of the Tour de France album? I've not got anything by them but that one track got me thinking I should maybe get something of theirs.

    The new Tour de France Soundtracks album is marvellous, possibly my favourite record this year. The vinyl pressing is excellent if you're that way inclined.
    I think I might have to get myself to one of these gigs.

    Excellent news. The last (and only) time I saw them live was, IIRC, 22 years ago...

    Tour de France is well worth having. It's a Kraftwerk album, after all...

    Must have been on the Pocket Calculator tour...
    Saw them at Liverpool Empire then - best sound I've ever heard at a biggish gig. And surprisingly entertaining for guys who barely moved (though nobody noticed at first when they were replaced by mannequins for Showroom Dummies :eek: )
    Shame they're not coming to deepest Shropshire :(
