Alt-rock instrumentalists And So I Watch You From Afar set out in May on an Irish tour to promote their new album Gangs. The raucous foursome will bring their incendiary fuse-lit energy to Limerick (Dolan's Warehouse) on May 18, Castlebar (Ritz) on May 19, Mullingar (The Stable) a night later on May 20 and finally The Forum, Waterford on May 21. As previously reported here, the boys also play Album Launch shows at the Button Factory, Dublin (April 29) and Mandela Hall, Belfast (April 30).

Gangs is released on the Richter Collective label on May 2 and is surely one of the most eagerly-awaited Irish releases of the year.
