Bloodhound Gang back on the road

Shock rockers the Bloodhound Gang are coming back to Britain for the first time in four years for a mini tour.

The NME states the tour is in advance of a new album next year.

But the band are also riding high after their song Fire Water Burn was featured in a controversial scene in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 where US soldiers sing the chorus 'Burn motherf**ker burn'.

The band have waived any fee for the use of the track, and have posted a message on their website that says: "Anyone that pisses people off while making people laugh is okay in our book.

"Our president is a clown, so Michael Moore invited the whole world to laugh at him. We're proud to be a part of that."

Last time the band played in the UK they challenged members of the audience to imitate Jackass by drinking two litres of milk and eating a pound of butter.

OIther stage antics included the lead singer stubbing a cigarette out on his tongue.

The tour dates are:

London Astoria - August 16
Glasgow Garage - August 17
Manchester Academy 2 - August 18
