Tuesday 15 December | The Tunnels | 8pm | £8 adv (From One Up or Ticketweb)/£10 door

We’ve got a couple of tickets to give away for this one courtesy of Interesting Music Promotions, see below, but first, the blurb…

So, Fruit Bats feature Eric D. Johnson and Ron Lewis from The Shins amongst others and they’re signed to Sub Pop. There’s some credentials for you…

Chicago native Johnson started this particular side-project in the mid 90s, putting out a couple of well-received albums a few years later.  Now they’re back with latest release ‘The Ruminant Band.’  We’ve heard it, and what a gorgeous slice of folk-tinged psychedelic pop it is. Really good. Like, really, really good.  Add in support acts like Isle of Wight acoustic folkster Puzzle Muteson plus a promising collaboration between The Little Kicks’ Steven Milne and Mike Chang from Indian Red Lopez (which may well be worth the entrance fee alone) and you’re looking at something quite special indeed…

To win a pair of tickets to the show, simply answer this question

What was the name of the last album by The Shins?

…and email it marked ‘Fruit Bats Comp’ to thekiosque@googlemail.com before 5pm on Monday 14 December

The eventual winner will be picked at random. From our special Kiosque randomizer. Which is a technological marvel that looks like something oot of The Jetsons.

Good luck!
