The Virgins announce announce intimate London date

The Virgins, who recently released their new album 'Strike Gently' through Cult Records, will perform at London's The Old Blue Last on 20th June.

The band have also been confirmed as support on the forthcoming The Killers tour in the US.

Recorded in New York at the East Village Recording Centre (underneath the site of the storied former rock club 'Brownies'), the long-awaited second album from the New York band was produced by The Unicorn Parade (Johnny T. Yerington and Gus Oberg).

Cult Records founder Julian Casablancas notes, "When I first saw the Virgins I was psyched there was such a rad new band from NYC. Donald's such an awesome guy and it's great to meet someone who's such a true artist. I think they've made a classic record and we're really excited they chose to work with us."
