NOTE:
we are gutted to announce that this date has now been postponed...
Caribou's drummer has suffered a wrist injury (insert own joke) and cannot play the UK dates, meaning all have to be rescheduled.
more news when we have it.

CARIBOU (City Slang/Merge)
Having toured around the world playing his new long play Andorra, we are simply thrilled that Dan Snaith's Caribou is going to bring his FOUR piece Poptastic-Kraut-electro-'60's vocal influenced-visual roadshow back to Aberdeen on the last leg of the Andorra tour.
Caribou's events always bring forth glowing sunshine and smiles, just what everyone will want 2/3s the way through February. Come and see him in one of his favourite venues, where his new VISUALS will be guaranteed to "work a treat".

"All up it was the most engaging Caribou live show yet, and one that would have sounded even better in a slightly different setting".
Caribou coming to one of his favourite UK venues will certainly provide that......look out for a special performance and a very special night, because we also have...
ZIGGY CAMPBELL
Ziggy Campbell was brought up in Hawick. His father wasn't a butcher and he never had the brow for rugby so he wrote songs instead. He formed hi-tech lo-fi pop experimentalists FOUND in 2005. A label called FENCE RECORDS decided they liked FOUND and wanted to release their latest album. Johnny who runs FENCE said that Ziggy was "a truly unique voice and a songwriter with fresh ideas." These fresh ideas include developing a sideline solo project which is being unwrapped with staggering effect and never FOUND wanting.
Who will forget his Aberdeen solo debut supporting The Pictish Trail & The Fence Collective in late 2007? - so, so good we have got him back as the only support. Need we say any more........
