Black Grape announce UK tour

From NME:

Black Grape have announced a huge UK tour for the end of the year.

The Shaun Ryder-led group will play a massive array of venues across November, with the tour following the release of 2017 album ‘Pop Voodoo’, their first record in 20 years.

Describing the tour, the band’s official biographer and Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh said: “I’m delighted to report that Black Grape are back on the road, and with new album Pop Voodoo that really does rock the fuck out of the discotheque.

“Shaun’s word play has never been deployed to such devastating effect, and he scores a bullseye whether he hits the obvious targets (Trump), and the more obscure ones…well, find out for yourself. The world is in a bit of a state right now, and bullshit reigns more than ever, and perversely disguised as candour. We need Manc street sass, intelligence and wit more than ever right now. This album has that in spades.”
