Below is a bumper Young Knives update from Henry Dartnall:

This week we’re out on tour in with our new bestest pals (they don’t know it yet) The Flaming Lips. I know, right?! Yeah it’s going to be pretty wacky out there, especially if you’ve had a listen to their newest disc The Terror. Imagine that mixed together with our own Sick Octave in a big oversized Moulinex and vomited out on to the crowd through flailing day-glo sphincters. I hope you can be there.

Wed 28 May, LONDON – O2 Academy Brixton w/ The Flaming Lips  (TONIGHT)

Thu 29 May, NOTTINGHAM – Rock City w/ The Flaming Lips

On Saturday we played with The Flaming Lips at the Cirque Royal for this cool festival, Nuits Botanique, in Brussels. And this Saturday (31st) we are on the bill at Forbidden Fruit festival in Dublin along with Fuck Buttons, Flying Lotus, The Flaming Lips and a load of other cool shit. We’ll be on at about 6pm on the Lighthouse stage.

Our new single White Sands is out on this week. It’s made with lots of drums and loud guitars and stuff, you’ll love it. We made a run of 300 limited edition white vinyl copies. Each one has a completely unique photo artwork. No two are the same. The photos are in and around our studio, there are a lot of dead flies in our studio and a few of them made an appearance, plus an old bottle of Ajax.

The other week, we got 12 drummers in a disused barn and made a drum line version of White Sands. It was bastard loud and sounded amazing. Here is the video for you to see how cool it was –>

Oh yeah and we are playing at Glastonbury Festival. So if you are there you can see us on the William’s Green stage, Friday at 7pm, doing our showing off and posing thing that we do.

Finally, we’re also pleased to announce we are doing some really cool Glastonbury warm-up shows at great venues. Here they are:

Wed 25 June, RAMSGATE, Ramsgate Music Hall

Thu 26 June, EXETER, Phoenix

Fri 27 June, GLASTONBURY Festival
