Teenage Fanclub make a comeback

The Scottish branch of the Big Star Admiration Society, Teenage Fanclub, hit the comeback trail with visits to Queens University, Belfast (May 6) and The Village, Dublin (7).

Missing In Action for the past five years, the Glaswegians will be plugging their Man-Made album, which was assembled in Chicago with Tortoise’s John McEntire producing.

Following assorted record company problems the opus is being released through their own PeMa label.

Support on both sides of the border is provided by fellow Scots Lucky Luke whose Fear Eats The Soul EP marks them out as genuine contenders.
