Fox Jaw Bounty Hunters for Irish summer tour

Devilishly dark Limerick rockers Fox Jaw Bounty Hunters are gearing up to record their sophomore effort with Dave "Skippy" Chrisophers and Owen Lewis – two men of real pedigree who have worked with everyone from Whipping Boy and REM to Snow Patrol and Hole in the past. But before they do, they quite fancy road-testing the new material this summer.

Testing commences July 13, with a hometown show in Dolan's supporting Alabama 3, and will wrap up several weeks later with a headline slot in Bourke's. In between, the boys will play the likes of Cork, Dublin and the Knockanstockan Festival. Expect songs old and new.

JUL 13 - DOLANS WAREHOUSE - LIMERICK (Acoustic Set)

JUL 21 - GLASGOWBURY FESTIVAL - DRAPERSTOWN

JUL 25 - CRANE LANE THEATRE - CORK
