Big in Japan

Having barely recovered from the hangovers that accompanied their winning of the Hot Press 'Philip Lynott Best Newcomer' Award, The Revs steamroller their way to South, Tramore (May 17th and 18th/all ages gig); and Mustang Sally's, Killarney (19th all ages & over-18s gigs).

They'll be using the trek to plug their new double A-sided single, 'Tuesday, Monday'/'Turning Japanese', which looks like giving them their third top 10 Irish hit in a row.

The latter was written and recorded in Australia where the band are planning to release a five-tracker in late June/early July.

Given the hordes who came to see them on their recent Down Under tour, it could be the start of something of big.
