Dan Sartain Hives support and album

When Dan Sartain happened to support the White Stripes at a one-off secret show in Nashville, so impressed was frontman Jack White with the Alabama hellraiser that he invited Dan to share main support slot duties on their US tour, and now that rock'n'roll charm has spread to Sweden, with The Hives inviting him to be main support on their forthcoming European tour including four UK dates.

Full details as follows:

Thursday 22nd November Glasgow, ABC
Friday 23rd November London, Hammersmith Apollo
Saturday 24th November Manchester, Apollo
Sunday 25th November Birmingham, Academy

In Germany prior to the UK dates, the tour continues onto Paris, Cologne, Amsterdam, Wiesbaden, Munich, and completes in Brussels on 2nd December.

Having built a lively and loyal following in the UK since the release of 'Dan Sartain Vs The Serpientes' in 2005, Dan will release a brand new studio album, 'Arise, Dan Sartain, Arise!!!!!', in March 2008 through One Little Indian. Bringing it back to his grassroots, the new album is his first self-produced release since his debut recording, 'Romance In Stereo', and is the follow up to his critically acclaimed last album 'Join Dan Sartain' released in October 2006, which lead iD Magazine to christen him 'the punk Elvis'.

To coincide with the release of 'Arise, Dan Sartain, Arise!!!!', One Little Indian will release a very special limited edition version of the new album, a triple disc release to include the new album, a CD of live tracks and rare b-sides and a DVD featuring exclusive live footage of Dan on tour in 2006/7.
