Tours: Undertones September UK tour
The Undertones have booked a two week tour of the UK for September. Confirmed dates have been announced now on the band's website. Click below for the available info. The band is also looking for help from fans in naming the outing and have setup a contest online. From their site:

"Gas, gas, quick boys, an ecstacy of fumbling...."
