Scout Niblett to play Whelan's

Not content with having a name that sounds like a lude act with an underage boy, Scout Niblett opens her Irish account with a December 11 visit to Whelan's, Dublin.

Hailed in some quarters as "the new PJ Harvey", the English songstress will be plugging her Steve Albini-produced album, I Am, and bringing Swearing At Motorists along for the ride.
