Having decamped to Los Angeles in 2004, the Anglo-Irish band are set to make a long-awaited return to the Irish live scene on October 26 in Crawdaddy.

The band are also gearing up for the release of their album early next year, which will be preceded by the single 'Sketches'.

During their Stateside sojourn, the band had top producer Tony Hoffer (Beck, Supergrass, The Thrills) twiddle the knobs on their first album The Truth and also saw their music feature in TV series One Tree Hill.

Tickets for the Crawdaddy gig are priced €12.25 and are available from Ticketmaster, Road Records, City Discs, Sound Cellar and usual outlets.
