Noah and the Whale have announced a new Dublin date for the Academy on May 8 after their upcoming Whelan's date in April sold out. Tickets are €23, including booking fee and are on sale this Friday February 11. The band are riding the crest of a wave of positive vibes after great reaction to their new improved gleaming and expansive sound, displayed on current single "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.", chosen by our own Celina Murphy as 'Single of the Fortnight' in the latest HP issue.

After the misery-fest that was First Days of Spring, advance word is that new album Last Night on Earth is an absolute corker and if you don't believe us, have a listen to one of the tracks off it, the lovely 'Wild Thing'. A long way from '5 Years Time, don't ya think?
