Boom Bip - 14 date April UK tour and and "Do's and Don'ts" single

Featuring the hypnotic vocals of Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), a phalanx of percussion, impertinent chimes and a race-you-to-the-end finale, the track is a cult-pop smash in the making. NME deemed it (runner up) Single of The Week as a download on bleep.com in January. Zane Lowe on Radio 1 has subsequently aired “Do's And Don'ts” consistently over the past few weeks creating unprecedented demand for the track.

Now Boom Bip announces his biggest ever UK tour taking in 14 cities â€" Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Exeter, Bristol, Dublin, Cardiff, Birmingham, Nottingham, London and Brighton.

With his all-star band featuring drummer Hazen (Pearline, Cincinatti), bassist Kenneth (Her Space Holiday, Austin) and Matt (Anti MC, LA) on synths and samples and Bryan ‘Boom Bip' Hollon himself on guitar and percussion, the band members chip in elements from bluesy rock, wonky pop, hip hop and a dash of indie guitar to bring the Boom Bip sounds to exuberant life.

Gruff Rhys will perform with Boom Bip at the London show, which is a co-headline with Caribou, as well as DJing between acts.

Following the UK tour, Boom Bip returns to the US to perform at the Coachella Festival, with a spread of US East coast, West coast and Midwest dates to follow. His remix of M83's current single ‘Don't Save Us From The Flames' is out now, and he will be DJing at the Miami Winter Music Conference / URB Magazine party this March celebrating his URB cover appearance.
