Referencing toe's "The Book..." as the source of inspiration that led the band towards an instrumental approach, drummer Nick Andrews revealed that the upcoming tour symbolises a full circle moment for the band:"In 2008, our first and only singer had quit the band. Unsure of how to best move forward, I suggested we embrace the idea of going instrumental with the songs we had already written.Collectively unsure that this idea would work, it wasn’t until I walked into Egg Records and heard Toe’s 'The Book…’ playing over the PA, that everything fell into place. Instantly captivated by their storytelling and musicianship, Toe’s discography became a gateway, providing us with a blueprint to aspire to.And here we are 16 years later. This tour represents a full circle moment for us, and the right time to close ‘The Book…’ on this chapter of the band. Hopefully see you there."- NickDon't miss out on this historical tour, which is set to be one of the biggest highlights in the experimental rock calendar for 2024.
